The ISIS's oil sales have been disrupted.
As in WWII, civilians were killed in large numbers in an effort to disrupt the war machine of our enemies.
This practice seems to be the plan in dealing with this conflict. There will be no such thing as “collateral damage”, it will be seen as a necessary tool in the destruction of ISIS as in the destroying of the NAZI regime.
If Raqqa and other cities under ISIS influence are flattened in the next few weeks with large “civilian” deaths reported...we will see that this is the strategy.
A throw-back war...as it were.
We are merely spectators at this point. Hope the Rooskies have good camera footage to share with us all. :-)
