Islamic State Crisis Megathread (ISIS/ISIL/IS)

[The Two Jerseys]

I for one would love to see a banzai charge against IS.

[Uawc]

Japan has every right to. If I was a Japanese citizen I would definitely enlist and support an attack.

...but I'm not, so I'm l'm apathetic.

[Tropico Republica (Ancient)]

The JSDF isn't expeditionary, so leave them at home. The US already fights for their foreign interests to an extent, and IS is certainly no exception.

[Dakini]

No. It's against Japan's constitution.

[Baltenstein]

Only if they bring Katanas with them.

[Constantinopolis]

They need to send samurai to show ISIS how to do a proper beheading.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Japan? Intervene?

I don't think so.

[United States of Devonta]

Of course not.

It would be nice to see them participate in airstrikes, though there constitution might get in the way of that, even with the reforms. Who would ever think of Japan participating in airstrikes when this campaign first begun?

[Valaran]

Of course not.

^this sums it up nicely.

[Sun Wukong]

They should send ninjas.

Naw. They keep getting stoned to death for some reason.

Too dark?

[Val Halla]

I don't think that boots can fight ISIS...

[Trygg]

Maybe pants on the ground, but boots? I don't think so.

[Sun Wukong]

I don't think that boots can fight ISIS...

[Nortrom]

BOOTS on the ground?

This is 2015. We use planes and drones now.

[Anglo-California]

Japan intervening would be pretty good, it would save the West some money for when we inevitably intervene, and it would be a lot harder for terrorists to meld into Japanese society and commit acts of terror as a retaliation, like they could in London, New York, etc.

They'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Has ISIS given any proof yet that the pilot is still alive?

[New Jordslag]

None so far, but I doubt even ISIS would be stupid enough to kill him.

[The Alma Mater]

Why exactly would that be more stupid that what they have done sofar ?

[Alsheb]

ISIS is what you get when you keep arming, supplying, trainign and supporting so-called "democratic" rebels in order to overthrow a sovereign country. One would have thought the West had learned its lessons after the fiascos in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. But no, just one more sovereign nation to destroy!
I just hope the Syrian Arab Army will kill each and every single one of these maniacs, be it FSA, ISIS, Al-Nusra or whatever their name is.

Daesh is what you get when you invade a sovereign Arab non-fundamentalist country like Iraq and hand it over to the Iranian terrorist government. The secular rebels were not armed or funded to any major degree. If they were, Assad would be running for his life. Even without major military support, even without no-fly zones, even without anti-air missiles the rebels before Daesh arose were close to toppling the mujrim regime. Qatar and Turkey saw a chance to make Syria an Islamist regime, by supplying groups aligned with the muslim brotherhood it gave rise to Islamist groups who brought in foreigners. People didn't care however because they saw the mass crimes of the regime, and believed anyone was better than Assad. The majority of the SAA sits in bases unmobilized, they cannot stage any coup because their families are under watch by the Nazi style Assad intelligence. While the coward Assad has sold himself to Iran, brought in foreign militias, Hezbollah and other terrorist dogs. the Syrian regime stood by Iran in the 80s while Saddam was fighting that scum regime from furthering its revolutionary agenda to destroy our people. Assad is an enemy of the Arab people. Helping Iran dominate Arab countries is something that cannot be forgiven.

Wow. You have been smoking some weird shit, man.

[New Jordslag]

None so far, but I doubt even ISIS would be stupid enough to kill him.

Good point. ISIS is a bunch of crazy nut heads after all.

[Mike the Progressive]

Yes that's exactly what I'm laughing at btw are there any babies that you know of thatI can punch? Clearly I would enjoy it since anything remotely funny said in this thread is a clear indicator that I lack empathy for all things and enjoy the tears of others.

Btw in case you were wondering that was fucking sarcasm, because apparently now we have to say it whenever we do it.

Your sarcasm is hidden beneath the depths.

Your English sucks and it's confusing me.

[New Jordslag]

I'm just going to sit back and watch this.

[Saiwania]

All pilots should have at least a sidearm strapped to their chest so they can go down fighting if need be. No one should be willing to get captured by IS given their reputation.

This guy. I like this guy. Too bad he got killed before he could wipe out the whole checkpoint.
