FILE - In this July 17, 2017, file photo, a fighter of the Christian Syriac militia that battles Islamic State group militants under the banner of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, burns an IS flag on the front line on the western side of Raqqa, northeast Syria.
That domain once stretched over large parts of Syria and Iraq, which the group conquered in a blitz in the summer of 2014, capturing towns and cities, including Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest. From its de facto capital of Raqqa, in northern Syria, its leaders plotted spectacular attacks abroad, including the 2015 Paris attacks that killed 130 people. As IS began to hemorrhage territory, it began opportunistically claiming attacks without any evidence of its involvement.
Syria is still mired in civil war, and Iraq estimates it will need $100 billion to rebuild. Local leaders in Mosul say they need that much for their city alone. No one has offered to foot the bill, and hard-hit areas remain empty, even years later.The official declaration of victory is of mostly symbolic value. Thousands of IS militants have dispersed and gone to ground, and U.S.
Right, sure. The “paid for,” insurgent mercenaries are “defeated” until the next round of financing materializes.
Thanks President Trump for making the world just a little bit safer
Now, historians have worked to do.
Yah they moved to Belgium
That’s true, but less of a threat without the message of a caliphate. People don’t rally around a losing side. Thanks Trump, but still not tired of winning.
To bad it isn't that easy to stop a ideology. All you really can do is keep it on its back foot.

Safely allocated in Europe. Let's wait.
Back to goat humping.
Who funded and created it in the first place?
Spiritual practices and beliefs Sadly (4humans) Not 'one size fits all'
Any and every person of their ideology can carry out an attack anywhere in this world. How can you defeat that when even talking against it is considered a phobia? As long as we don’t point at the root of the problem, it can never be defeated.
Religion-based threat never dies
I hope they hear the sounds of RETROTONES on their iPhones in their awful faces. It may not seem like much,but it will bug them.
Thank dog.
of course - the international community in general and the affected parties in particular shouldn't take the stone age ppl lightly - may suddenly erupt from nowhere
