Terrorist attack in Nice: a blow to continental Europe

The terrorist is presumed to be a 31-year-old man with a French-Tunisian nationality. His identification documents were found in the car. The truck driver not only drove into a crowd of people, but also fired at those on the run with a gun before the police shot it. Later, in the car they found grenades, firearms, and spare magazines.

The CIA and British intelligence nurtured Islamism to counter the "Soviet threat". It was then, during the Cold War, and especially since the Soviet troops were brought into Afghanistan, when the ideological, resources, and institutional framework for global Islamic terrorist networks was established. In Syria, the Americans also prefer to rely on Islamists. The ISIS terrorists accidentally got new American and Israeli weapons. Despite the propaganda, ISIS has not committed any act of terrorism against the US and Israel, and does not threaten the security of these countries. At the same time ISIS directly threatens Russia, Iran and China, the main US geopolitical adversaries in Eurasia.
