no It isn’t.

I KEPT wondering how this wasnt all over in half a year with the coalition having the best air force in the world and ISIS having none.

never heard of that before in history.

Now I understand. We did almost nothing.

You are correct. Also, I am not sure the U.S. and Western Europe really knew which side they were supporting.
For Russia, it knew which side to support.

No, its worse than that. Our "allies" the Saudis and Turks see ISIS as a tool to be used to defeat Assad, poke the Iranians in the eye, and punch the Russians in the nose. They imagine that like Libya, once the regime is toppled, and their cronies are in charge of the oil and central bank, can write government contracts, and take Syria's seats in all international organizations, ISIS is simply a nuisance they can deal with over time.

Obama and the US Government are complicit in this.

We are not permitted to bomb on a majority of ISIS targets due to a fear of civilian casualties. Russia doesn’t have to worry about being PC in their wars.
