ISIS Thread

So who thinks Turkey will actually come and rescue Kobane?

[Augy]

They are waiting for Daesh to finish off the Kurds and then they will sweep in... I still have hope for the Kurds though, they are great fighters with a righteous cause and terrain in their favour.

Kobane will be IS's Stalingrad.

Kobane will be IS's Stalingrad.

If I recall the Kurdish YPG commander in Kobane said that once Daesh enters the city, they would be defeated because of the Kurdish superior street fighting capability.

I agree on the Stalingrad remark tho.

Yes, the Kurds, from what I have gathered are superior guerillas. As the Kurdish commander stated: IS will have no use of their heavy weapons once they are in Kobani. It will be a gruesome CQB. I think Black Hawk down gives a good indication of how it can be.

Turkey should be sanctioned. Like getting kicked out of NATO or something, because I have to admit they truly disgust me.

I'm wondering how countries like Georgia and Armenia are reacting to IS.

[JohannGustavsen]

I believe that they are already loving this whole ISIS/ISIL thing, they sound like a real help bunch *totally sarcastic*

a surprisingly enlightening writeup on Rojava that's managed to sneak into a mainstream media outlet.

Surprisingly, a feature article, published in the Guardian. Noice

As long as IS soldiers can't cross mountains, I think they're content.

[JohannGustavsen]

Americans prepare for the trans Mexico ISIS invasion! The day of reckoning is upon us

"They should get kicked out of NATO"

Implying NATO isn't supporting Turkish position.

Implying NATO is something like the UN.



Get over it. No one cares about Kurds if Kurds dont have much to offer.
Such is this world.

You forgot to use the meme arrows with the implication statements.
