Cat owner is right

Daesh still holds a fat chunk of Syria and whatever the former Iraq is now called

Sad but true

I’d say militarily they are about 60% destroyed which would end most armies

But these guys ain’t normal

A lot of what is shown on maps as controlled by the various groups IS-controlled on maps is just desert. Aren’t we really talking about who controls cities, villages, roads and some other bits of key terrain? To me, it is difficult to determine how the various sides are doing apart from adding up the various cities and villages that they occupy. By that metric, I think IS is really on the ropes. But IDK for sure - just throwing it out there.
