The rise of ISIS and the fall of the nation-state

Regardless of whatever different names or ideological flavours they camouflage themselves with in the various theatres they commit their crimes in, the world’s various Jihadist outfits are so-called post-national groups whose idea of what they term a Caliphate dovetails nicely with the ideology of globalist Western groupings like the European Union and the World Economic Forum, which seek to dismantle sovereign nation-states in favour of top down global governance. Though this is most evident in Syria, where I have most experience, it is also evident in Balochistan, which is conveniently perched between Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan and where jihadism, whatever its other qualities, is sure to weaken those three already fragile nation-states and therefore serve the interests of any and all actors who want one or more of those nation-states dismantled or destroyed.

Trump Will Fail

Some 2400 years ago, Aristotle observed in The Politics:

And the rule of the law, it is argued, is preferable to that of any individual. On the same principle, even if it be better for certain individuals to govern, they should be made only guardians and ministers of the law.… Therefore he who bids the law rule may be deemed to bid God and Reason alone rule, but he who bids man rule adds an element of the beast; for desire is a wild beast, and passion perverts the minds of rulers, even when they are the best of men. The law is reason unaffected by desire.
