Islamic State Crisis Megathread (ISIS/ISIL/IS)

[Marcurix]

That's blatantly false, given the pressure from NATO has been relatively light from what it could be. Western leaders, as you're so keen to distance, are well aware of the dilemma that Turkey faces and do in fact take it into account. It's when Turkey drags it's feet needlessly that the irritation comes in.

But, of course you would not it isn't actually the PKK-whom Turkey had a truce with until it launched attacks against the group recently-that's fighting ISIS but another Kurdish organisation with links to the PKK.

Well, they're terrorists too in our eyes as they have a more or less connection to the PKK. Like how al-Nusra is an extension of al-Qaeda and therefore considered terrorist too.

But they are not an extension, which should be noted.

Not that it matters much now away, Turkey may well have squandered its opportunity to remove appeal from the PKK for Kurds on both sides of the border with its recent actions.

[Baltenstein]

Well, Turkey has sent the Kurds an clear message that they can't and shouldn't rely on Turkey as a role-model and protector. This will inevitably strengthen the PKK's appeal in the Kurdish population again.

Well, dead man indeed.

I do wonder if USA is able to locate Kurd's camps or not. Then again, the battlefield's locations can change sides as fast as the time needed to change your clothes.

Pentagon determining whether Islamic State has weapons from US airdrop - Stars and Stripes.

“We’re still taking a look at [the video] and assessing the validity of it. So I honestly don’t know if that was one of the [bundles] dropped, and whether … the contents of it are, in fact, in the hands of ISIL,” Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters, using an acronym to refer to the Islamic State.

“They are certainly … the kinds of material that was dropped … so it’s not out of the realm of the possible in that regard,” he said.

Small arms, ammunition, and medical supplies.

It sure does have importance in here, especially as both sides have little supplies in both of them due to their...extensive use.

While this was rather unfortunate, it thankfully was only one package out of 24 or so.

(It would be hilarious if ISIS fighters opened it and some sort of Resident Evil Tyrant popped out)

(Sadly there is no such thing as real-life Tyrant. USA just need to drop one of their drop from Area 51...)

According to frontline changes aka ISIL on march despite any bombing campaign, plus Turkish non-aggression pact with ISIL, Kobane is doomed and any air support can only delay the inevitable.
ISIL has obviously more than enough manpower to spare, so 'caliph' can use even WW1 tactics, if necessary (to sacrifice inexperienced noobs, like islamic teenagers from Germany and France, while protect elite troops in the same time).
World should rather help western or eastern kurdish territories in Syria, where they have still a chance.

If they really wanted to, they could have done it in the begining when there were people demonstrating and later on shooting at the Iranian puppets which is the Syrian regime, the U.S. does not give a rats ass about people in the Middle East that want a country where religion is separated from government, they only want to protect their oil little oil money monarchies who shit themselves everytime they see an Arab power with military might.

ISIS is basically different from any other Salafist or Jihadist terror group in a way they're not following a specific cause. It's a magnet that draws losers all around the world, including drug, alcohol addicts and such, anybody with severe psychological problems. Many those within the group do not even have a Muslim or religious background.

A while ago Newsweek revealed three people from Turkey who have joined it, one a heavy drinker dad who neglected his family, one a woman of Kyrgyz origin with a child who was not even a Muslim but then converted, and a drug addict mechanic. It gives a good hint about what kind of people this organization is mostly composed of. There's also these two Austrian teenage girls and a Japanese guy who went in there.
