Recent terror attacks in the Western world are a reaction to US wars in the Middle East and the “constant destabilization” of countries in that region, a former US Marine and journalist in California says.
“There are a lot of people with very, very sincere attitudes against the United States right now that are largely a response to the US wars in the Middle East, to the constant destabilization of Middle East nations,” Tim King said.
“When the United States wages attacks year after year after year after year, making reference to constant to terrorism, that eventually the chicken is going to come home to roost,” King told Press TV on Monday.
King, however, acknowledged “the problem is not as large as its being made out to be.”
He made the comments after a top Republican US senator said on Sunday the country has to assume there are some “sleeper cells” within the US that would like to carry out a terror attack.
Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, however, did not specify any specific cells and made the assumption based on recent attacks in France, Australia and Canada.
“What you’re seeing happen in Europe, you’re seeing how widespread that is,” the senator who is the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee said on Fox News. “I think you have to assume that that is a risk that we have to consider.”
