Policy memo format6/1/2023 ![]() Consequently, it left many people with military training roaming the streets with virtually nothing to feed their families on. It is understood that after the toppling of the Gaddafi regime, several soldiers and police officers lost their jobs and were not reinstated in the newly formed forces. While the West celebrated the invasion of the Iraq, the economic interest overwhelmed the process and the US eventually forgot to do the basic security cleanup to disarm the potential criminal elements that had already shown up even before the end. ![]() The emergence of ISIS and its expertise in the execution of atrocities is credited to a failed foreign policy by the US during and after the Iraqi combat. However, what will happen at the end of the war remains subject to debate. The Kurds are undergoing military training and being equipped with machinery to combat the ISIS. There are indications that the forces being empowered are likely to remain a security threat to the Turkish government after the war or even during the war (Gibson 5-9). The move by Russia and the US to support the Kurds seems a move that is unwelcome by Turkey due to its predictable course. The criticality of the matter thus gives rise to several concerns that pits Turkish interest against the global security. In reaction to the issue, several security concerns regarding the emergence as it is difficult to predict the reaction that Moscow might be devising or whether the apologetic era remains the critical antidote to end the feud. While Russia maintains innocence about any intention to carry out an attack in Turkey, the nations that had been violated remains coy on the issue and only cite the territorial violations through satellite images that clearly indicates the blatant violations of its space. While it remains a fuss as to the possible end of the ISIS war and the war in Syria, the downing of a Russian jet within the Turkish territories only served to escalate the long-standing cold war that might lead to something serious. ![]() However, Russia remains concerned about the power rivalry with the US while acting recklessly with the international partners and the neighboring nations like the Ukraine. While Russia has attempted to assert power as one of the world powers, Turkey has remained calm and concerned about the security of the nation and its relationship with the West. However, there have not been any combative confrontations between the two nations despite their continued mistrust. Despite this interest, once the Kurds are victorious, they might turn their sights on seceding from Turkey as they might be supported by the Russian enemy. While Russia views the regime as the only bulwark against the rising Sunni radicalism, Turkey is determined to see Assad ousted from power by Sunni radicals (Eric 3-8). However, they are hell-bent on divergent motives as Russia wants to keep Assad in power while Turkey wants the government toppled. The two sides are all committed to ending the threat of ISIS. The feud between Russia and Turkey traces back to the world war epoch in which they had a strained relationship characterized by suspicion and relentless cold war. Many questions continue to linger in the minds of experts and security analysts regarding the possible repercussions of the war if in any case it ends successfully. Many have questioned the circumstances that led to their rise and had mostly been attributed to the invasion US made in the Middle East and the self-centered approach towards asserting authority over the Arab nations under the umbrella of being a global threat. It is clear that the issue elicits diverging opinions as to the legitimacy of the war. Despite ISIS being a threat to global security, the empowerment of informal group to fight the militia might have short-term benefits to the fight but can prove disastrous in the future (Splauding et al. In the view of the situation, it is important that security consciousness is observed concerning the fight. It is important to note that whatever decision a nation takes must be in the best interest of the people and the general safety of their nation amidst the war on the militia. However, the worrying situation is the devised method to combat the extremists group that have caused numerous loss of lives and claimed responsibility for several bombings either and across the borders (Ozluk 2-12). It is critical to highlight that the war on ISIS continues to divide opinion and also create the danger to certain countries. Every rational nation finds it necessary to condemn the security threat that ISIS continues to pose on the local and international arena. To start, the emergence of ISIS has been a global concern and considered to a matter of gravity. The fight against the ISIS has elicited numerous controversies with different nations taking sides in the war against the global menace.
