ISIS is losing. Watch how and why it's happening

Post Reply New Topic

Game over ISIS game over they are hurting and its funny, like I said in the past ISIS is a joke! They will always lose and will never win!

whatever their attrition rate, I wonder how much longer the people who created them, will find them useful?

Six weeks of Russians and they were done in Syria. Their connection to Turkey for supplies, and the route for oil exports are gone. Aleppo is cut off, Palmyra taken, and the SAA marches East.

In Iraq they have been pushed back in Anbar in over three months of constant fighting.

Thank god for Putin, it shows you the hypocrisy of the west who spent a whole year "fighting" ISIS with a fake air campaign while they rapidly expanded territory and gained controlled of the Turkish border. In just a couple months Russian air support coordinated with ground efforts from the SAA, YPG, and others groups they have been able to take back control of most of the Turkish border and have destroyed their illegal oil business that Obama was ignoring for some reason(probably because NATO ally Turkey is facilitating it)

Now that their supply route from Turkey is for the most part cut off, they can't import any more fighters or guns or export anything for more money.

This was always a fake war, there would be no terrorist army without Western and Arab backing. The same in Libya, that was a conflict that the US and its European allies are directly responsible for. This war is very illuminating to who are real friends in the region are and they're not Saudi Arabia or Turkey.

It's good that Putin and the US have common interests in this.

I still wouldn't work with him beyond this, though.

But would you work with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the new dictatorship in Egypt, or all the Arab Gulf countries that have funded ISIS and the of spread Islamic extremism all around the world?

This isn't the Cold War, Russia and US have many similarities and share many common interests especially when it comes to terrorism. They are a powerful nation that we should respect, our foreign policy since the collapse of the Soviet Union has been an aggressive expansionist one that has seen the US facilitate the growth of ethnic nationalism in the former Soviet republics and sphere of influence. The coup in Ukraine was just more of the same from the US, we've been trying to pull the Ukrainians out the Russian sphere for decades now. Zbigniew Brzezinski said that Ukraine is the difference from Russia being a world power they have to compete with and regional one they can squeeze and manipulate, now Putin has had Russia reassert itself after years of humiliation and all the sudden he's the bad guy? Something isn't adding up. You remember that whole Georgian war, started by Georgia.

Trump wanting to renegotiate NATO is one of the bravest and boldest things a presidential candidate has ever said

Eastern Europe when occupied by the Russians, the Generals that won WWII, objected when they wanted to.

Now that NATO has expanded east, and EU Membership, they are objecting again. Islamic Invasion is not popular, they have dealt with it before, for hundreds of years. Western Europe does not know what Islam is like in person.

Western Europe is many small countries with ocean trade. Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and others to small to notice.

Eastern Europe is larger, landlocked, poorer, and has an economy based on agriculture.

They have a lot more in common with Russia.

Sanctions from The Boss of Europe, fell heavy on the economies of Eastern Europe. Germany lost 5%, Poland lost more than half.

Countries bordering Russia have a large market for their produce, or did.

No one is making up their losses, and America wants them to spend 2% of their GDP on NATO.

They are also making them a target by basing missiles there.

They have been captured and put on a Western Europe leash, the Russians built railroads, roads, schools, hospitals, and housing. The EU has given cheap debt to political leaders who are no longer in office, they bought a vineyard in France, and has taken their brightest and best to work menial jobs in Western Europe, for Eastern wages.

Western Europe welcoming the Islamic State is the last straw. The old Warsaw Pact would be better off on its own, as a buffer between Europe and Russia. Open trade with both, and self rule at home.

On the world stage they were small and poor countries that fought for their freedom over and over again. Islam, Russians, Mongols, Germans, French, they beat each in turn.

Telling them they have to open their borders to the Islamic State, fly a Rainbow flag, and forbidding exports to Russia is not going to be accepted. When the American Army tours Eastern Europe in tanks, they are claiming it. Where were they in 1945?

Americans and Europeans did not help in Hungary, 1956, or in Prague, or Poland. After the Soviet Union withdrew, the West gave no aid, and their economies remained isolated. The Soviet Union, then Russia, continued aid and trade.

The Great Colonial Powers, their Colonials, and Military Alliances, are not good at making friends.

I can see why they identify with the Islamic State. They have a common world view.
