They keep gaining adherents from around the world in large part BECAUSE of what the US politico-military does in our name;
Blowback is
unintended consequences of a
covert operation that are suffered by the aggressor. To the civilians suffering the blowback of covert operations, the effect typically manifests itself as “random” acts of
political violence without a discernible, direct cause; because the public—in whose name the
intelligence agency acted—are unaware of the effected secret attacks that
provoked revenge (counter-attack) against them.
