“If we wanted ISIS annihilated we’d be working with the Russians Iranians and Syrian government to take them out
Russia = attacking ISIS and al Qaeda
Iran = attacking ISIS and al Qaeda
Syria = attacking ISIS and al Qaeda
US = attacking Iran Syria and soon, Russia and calling it “self defense”
What’s wrong with this picture?”
I have seen very little evidence of that. IMHO your picture is wrong. With out help certain forces in Syria now have the headquarter town of ISIS surround and hopefully they are killing them all. It is the Russians and Assad who are attacking the forces who are surrounding ISIS.
You mean Raqqa?
And how we are targeting the Iranians and Syrians as they try to advance toward Raqqa as a “threat” to “us”?
And targeting the Iranians and Syrians as they try to advance on the towns where “we” have allowed ISIS to escape and regroup as “our” trained fighters?
Raqqa which we are trying to take with mostly air strikes killing civilians because we don’t have the ground forces to do the job and would never DREAM of teaming up with the SAA to do the job of “annihilating ISIS?”
As if the Kurds are going to stay and administer Raqqa once “we” liberate it?
