The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) launched arguably their last counter-offensive to regain the territory they lost to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the Baghouz area of eastern Deir Ezzor. Backed by nearly 100 women and children, the Islamic State stormed the Syrian Democratic Forces’ positions at the northern flank of the Baghouz Camp in a bid to force the latter to retreat from several areas.

"The Islamic State had previously prohibited women from fighting at any of their front-lines; however, due to a shortage in manpower and provisions, they have made an exception to this rule."

They’re so fully delusional, the only thing that’ll stop them is death. So, give it to them, to the very last man.

Leftists in America have now begun targeting children, if they’re wearing the “wrong” hats.

The civilized world needs to become uncivilized when it comes to Islamic terrorists. When they are captured or surrender do not give them a trial or prison sentence where they can convert more fighters. Treat then as enemy combatants and send them to their 72 virgins.

What is left of the ISIS "Caliphate":

They must spend the bulk of their time hunkered in trenches and crammed into short tunnels. They are strafed with heavy machine gun and small arms fire day and night, and get lots of artillery and air strikes at night.

From Wikipedia:

“The MOAB (GBU-43) is not a penetrator weapon and is primarily an air burst ordnance intended for soft to medium surface targets covering extended areas and targets in a contained environment such as a deep canyon or within a cave system.”

“The MOAB is the most powerful conventional bomb ever used in combat as measured by the weight of its explosive material. The explosive yield is comparable to that of the smallest tactical nuclear weapons”

“The Air Force has said the MOAB has a unit price of $170,000”

“During the Vietnam War’s Operation Arc Light program, for example, the United States Air Force sent B-52s on well over 10,000 bombing raids, each usually carried out by two groups of three aircraft. A typical mission dropped 168 tons of ordnance, pounding an area 1.5 by 0.5 miles with an explosive force equivalent to 10 to 17 MOABs.”

They let their women fight side by side with the men on the front line? Wow! They believe in equality of the sexes, something the US will not do. This means that ISIS is more progressive than the US. The Left will be celebrating ISIS.

According to the Rojava Information Center, no one has surrendered from Bahgouz today or yesterday.

Can we just blow a big hole where they are now?

mien kampf means “my struggle” jihad means “personal struggle”.

the nazi invented meth to suppliment the ss when adrenoc rome was not avail.
