Thread: What Will It Take To Get Rid Of ISIS?

He can sign what he likes with Assad.

It isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Their propaganda paints a picture of a ruthless, well-trained and effective fighting outfit.
But the battlefield reality for Islamic State foot soldiers appears much different.
Helmet cam footage obtained by Vice News reveals life on the frontline for IS fighters is a chaotic and disorganised struggle to stay alive and manage the basics of modern combat.
A fighter called Abu Hajaar features prominently as his colleagues, apparently frustrated with his abilities, repeatedly scream orders, reprimanding him for putting them in danger.


The footage reportedly came from a helmet mounted camera found on the body of a dead Islamic State fighter who fought in losing battle against Kurdish pashmerga troops near Mosul, Iraq, in March.
Travelling in an improvised, open topped armoured vehicle, the would-be soldiers appear to be as much a threat to each other as they are their enemies.


They struggle to load and sometimes even find their weapons. When they are able to open fire on opposition soldiers, they shower each other with bullet casings or risk burning their comrades with rocket launchers.
When a Kurdish rocket inevitably strikes their vehicle, one fighter can be heard desperately declaring he cannot find his gun.
Shortly before hand they struggle to load an improvised grenade launcher. They struggle again with shaking hands to light the fuse on the bomb they intend to launch.


The video ends as one militant yells to his comrades he has been shot, as the unit appears to disintegrate under enemy fire.
The revealing video also shows an anxious and fearful approach to battle as the group prepares to travel to the battlefield.


They are shown farewelling a suicide bomber before setting out themselves.
The exchange shows a conspicuous absence of the bravado that has become the hallmark of the propaganda videos ISIS has used to rally supporters around the world.

Still as clueless as ever I see.

The contract are Russia's payment for its military expenditures. Russia can't afford to just give shit away.

And once Assad is gone, those contracts will be torn up by the Sunni, who see Putin as nothing more than Assad's attack dog.

"The Russian side has responded to the idea of restoring [Syrian] infrastructure. Therefore, a lot of deals were signed, including $675 million and $280 million agreements," said the Syrian prime minister.

Worthless statements by harrytwat as usual.

Infrastructure projects are a third of the Axis of Evil's reasons for going to war. One third the destruction which creates lots of debt to the public which is gifted to big US businesses supplying the weapons, one third the reconstruction as the US government gets into lots of debt helping, and the money goes back to Big US business to rebuild, and the other third is the control of another country and the ability to continue an endless unwinnable war.

So as I said... Russia already has some of the contracts, and this is why obomba has stepped up the US boots on the ground to help its ISIS buddies. US Special forces going around blowing up more civilians infrastructure as per usual.

Gabbard said she supports Obama’s decision to deploy the additional forces, if they are partnering with Kurdish forces in northern Syria to defeat Daesh. "If they are working with [the] so-called Syrian moderate opposition, who are fighting to overthrow Assad, then they should not be doing that," Gabbard stated. "They shouldn’t be there if that is the mission they have been given."

UN chief calls on warring Syrian parties to cease hostilities - Xinhua | English.news.cn
UNITED NATIONS, May 2 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday called on the warring Syrian sides to immediately recommit to the cessation of hostilities in the wake of an escalation of fighting around Aleppo, a major city in northern Syria." "The Secretary-General is profoundly concerned about the dangerous escalation of fighting in and around Aleppo and the intolerable suffering, counted in mounting deaths and destruction, it is causing among civilians," said UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric at a daily briefing.

Violence has been reported to resume in Aleppo, when the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and likeminded groups unleashed repetitive large-scale attacks on Syrian military positions in southern Aleppo. The attacks were intensified by shelling on the government-controled parts of the city, as the rebels in eastern Aleppo were trying to advance into the western part of the city.

Syria announced temporary truce in Damascus and Lattakiya governorates. Ban stressed the need to expand the cessation of hostilities to Aleppo "with a special urgency," according to Dujarric."

ISIS says it's behind Iraq blasts that kill scores
By Jomana Karadsheh, Joshua Berlinger and Ashley Fantz, CNN
Updated 6:44 PM ET, Wed May 11, 2016
Almost 100 killed in series of Baghdad attacks

Almost 100 killed in series of Baghdad attacks 01:54
(CNN)The Sunni terror group ISIS says it's behind a series of attacks in Iraq's capital Wednesday that targeted Shiites and left more than 90 people dead.

At least 64 people were killed when a car bomb went off at a market in Baghdad, according to Iraqi police. Another 87 people were wounded in that attack in the largely Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City.

Pictures of the aftermath of the explosion showed hundreds gathered near a chaotic scene. Blood marked the street, cars had their windows blown out and nearly an entire sidewalk was left charred.
Later in the day, a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest detonated in a busy square in the Shiite neighborhood of al-Kadhimiya, killing 17 people and wounding 43 others, two police officials in Baghdad told CNN. A suicide car bomber exploded in the Sunni neighborhood of al-Jamia in western Baghdad, killing 12 people and wounding 31 others. The attackers targeted a checkpoint manned by Shiites.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks, according to a message on the Twitter account for Amaq, a media outlet linked to the group. Several mosques in Baghdad urged citizens to donate blood to help the wounded.

Experts have said that a security vacuum has opened in Iraq amid the political turmoil the nation has been facing lately. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi struggles to firm up a government capable of battling ISIS and, at the same time, continue to address problems related to Iraq's long-standing economic and political wounds from years of war. The Prime Minister's office said he ordered increased intelligence efforts to prevent sleeper cells from moving within cities to carry out attacks.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks in Iraq in recent weeks, including one last month east of Baghdad in which more than two dozen people were killed.

Turkey’s Elite Force Stages Raid Against Islamic State Fighters in Syria



Turkey?s Elite Force Stages Raid Against Islamic State Fighters in Syria - WSJ


"By

Updated May 10, 2016 1:06 p.m. ET ISTANBUL—Turkey’s special military force carried out an unusual weekend operation against Islamic State fighters in Syria as part of a deepening campaign against the extremist group, U.S. officials said on Tuesday."

M K Bhadrakumar ? Indian Punchline

"Turkey may have begun poking at the Russian bear in its lair in Syria. Last weekend, a contingent of Turkish special forces crossed into Syria for what appears to have been a limited operation to test the Russian reflexes. It’s unclear whether Russian intelligence spotted it but decided to do nothing, or whether it knew nothing about it until the media reports appeared."

Turkey may take unilateral action against ISIL in Syria - MIDEAST

"President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has sent a strong signal regarding his country’s readiness to take unilateral action against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) following a series of attacks by the group on the border province of Kilis.

“While our citizens are being martyred every day by rockets fired from the other side, what will we wait for from the allies,” Erdoğan said at an event called “Domestic and National Will in Turkish Political History.” “If so, we will pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.”"

Is it a job for the Belgians to undertake, on behalf of the "crusader coalition"?

Agreed, but will the crusade coalition protect them either because of the UNSC resolution - which requires Syrian approval, or because they are a NATO member illegally starting a war with a neighbouring country?

That is what NATO is for, and why the US has a veto in the UNSC to make sure they are never stopped.

Will the Turks be informing the Russians or Syrians in advance? It would be awful to be mistaken for terrorists and destroyed.

It's probably what they want.
