Why Western Support for Armed Groups Depends on Strategy, Not Morality

Western support for armed groups has never followed a simple moral rule. Western support for armed groups depends on strategy, not sympathy.

Instead, it’s a cold calculation of strategic interest, where geopolitics can transform a pariah into a partner overnight. While groups like Hamas are unequivocally condemned and isolated, history is filled with examples of other armed factions that, despite their own violent tactics, received the full backing of the West. Examining these cases … Continue reading Rebels with a Cause? From the KLA to the Contras, a History of Western-Backed Resistance
