Dabiq: First shots fired at site of Islamic State’s apocalyptic prophecy

Mosul and Raqqa are real last strong holds of ISIS. And both are under US airstrikes and about to be hit by allied ground forces. ISIS is almost done. That is bad news for Assad who will a whole new battle hardened army in the SDF heading his way. He and the Russians need to finish off Aleppo ASAP before that happens.

And you have to wonder at what point will the West or the Arab States give the rebels advance air defense weapons. And how many the planes the Russians are willing to lose if they do.
