Given their aspirations, ISIS was (and still might be) an existential threat to the entire globe.


Yeah right, I personally think the bodies stacking up in the name of US neocolonialism is indication of a far greater threat, ISIS were never a global threat, media highlighting and government agendas frightened you is all


Of course you do. But I would argue you do not think that because you know more than everyone else. I would argue you think that because you know less.


Convenience is bliss mate, don't ever forget the part that US neocolonialism played in creating ISIS, if you're going to manufacture consent against a country in order to invade, which has been done many a time, you don't think that groups like ISIS are going to be fallout from that?

And please, explain in what way, and how ISIS were ever a threat to the global status quo?

Yeah, right, Iraq, do your research


It ain't down to me to research for you, ISIS was fallout from the bullsh*t that was the US invasion of Iraq:

Plus we know the Democrats can't remember anything farther back than 2 years so they will not remember that Obama, out of the blue, pulled out of Iraq creating the vacuum for ISIS to take a firm hold, and did they. That hold created true atrocities not seen since medieval times...

Yeah! Obama!


Yep
So fast they were ordered to leave all equipment , thus arming IS with some nice equipment.
Which is against military regulations

They were flown back to the US on commercial airlines
Which is against military regulations

Yet , Barry had left enough there , way past Bush's end date

Indeed. I'm struggling to understand the opposition you're receiving in this thread.

Do people care so little about the suffering that has been endured by the Iraqi and Syrian people amongst others from the Daesh reign of terror?

No cause for celebration?

What would you suggest by way of celebration?

I'm pleased they lost the territory they stole and raise my hat to the brave fighters who did the work of kicking their ass's back to the stone age but don't see why we should be expected to celebrate.



I can understand refraining from celebration if one does not care either way. That is at least honest. But for myself, after following the rise and fall of this evil, after coming to know some of their victims, it is my contention that celebration is the very least we could do.


I didn't say that I don't care , I think we all watched the rise of Daesh with revulsion and horror and their fall with a fair amount of joy but celebrating their demise is premature , yes they were defeated militarily but that was a battle in a bigger war , winning hearts and minds is harder than dropping bombs and winning hearts and minds is crucial if we are to win the war.

It's not opposition, but the context of the OP is totally inaccurate, and it should be understood, those with the most money and power, and the actual global agendas, don't seem to understand that violence just breeds more violence.

Additionally, beyond all those starry eyed at the MSM coverage of the "destruction of ISIS" , should also probably understand that it wasn't for the welfare of the people of Syria, Iraq or wherever, there's more chance it was because they were screwing with the oil pipelines

I wasn't accusing you of not caring personally. It was more a general statement.

I mean, I get it. But the brave men and women who stood up to ISIS and defeated them, often times with little support from the West, deserve our applause. They deserve parades and celebrations of their heroism. But all I see around me is utter indifference. They do not care about the bullets that were taken for everyone, world wide. People stood up for freedom and human rights and won.

I just don't get it.

I'm not going to dumb myself down for your benefit.

You can kill an ideology if you destroy the evil that believes it. I'm not saying Wahhabism or ISIS ideology is destroyed. I'm saying the caliphate is.

I think parades are fleeting as is praise , I believe they would be happier with continued military support and aid to help rebuild the towns and cities damaged or destroyed through their liberation.
