How is the US losing this war?
ISIS doesn't even have aircraft.
70 years ago, Japan had Kamikaze planes

We aren't even fighting them
We (Obama admin) created, funded, trained and equipped them in Libya.
Then we funded, trained and equipped moderate beheaders in Syria to fight both ISIS AND Assad to further US interests
Luke Ortiz
>ISIS doesn't even have aircraft.
This is precisely why the US is losing in syria. Even if the US could give ISIS planes, they wouldn't be able to use them.
Wyatt Taylor
We don't have boots on the ground. You can level all the city blocks you want, but you'll never win a war with just air power.
Xavier James
wait, do you seriously think we are fighting them?
Anthony Young
Have you ever had roaches in your home? It's like getting rid of roaches. You can stamp a million of them a day and fumigate the whole place with toxic gas but they're will always be some left scuttling through the pipes.

>US losing this war
But US is selling guns to ISIS. How can they be losing?
Camden Rogers
kek.. the US and Israel created and funded and armed ISIS, they are (were) /ourguys/
Trump and Putin gonna give it to 'em tho
Chase Baker
ISIS is losing in Mosul though
Luke Jackson
are you really dumb to believe this?
this is from a video showing these men (CIA/Pentagon linked and McCain friend jamal marouf in the center) speaking after they took this area from ISIS in early 2014.

>Thinks ISIS aren't mercenaries fighting for NATO
Andrew Harris
Because the US's actual power has plumetted since the fall of the soviet union, and even that was not quite as much as it had when half the world united with it during the world wars, which ended in the Vietnam war.
Basically they've lost all their actual ally-based power and are left with their very mediocre own power, which is mostly kept "alive" with memes, media, misinformation and a blinding sense of nationalistic pride.
So the simple answer is that you've become a lot weaker but have been in denial about it for about 24 years now.

Merica did not bomb ISIS oil fields or oil conwoys going to Turkey for 2 years. And bitched constantly when Russia finally did (ebil Putin killed civilian drivers reee). Merica loves ISIS.
Ethan Gonzalez
US is founding ISIS.
Evan Baker
HOLY SHIT CHECK OUT THIS PIC TOO! THAT'S A NAZI FLAG!!!! AMERICA WAS BOTH SIDES OF WW2 TOO!!!!!

because the objective isn't total and utter destruction of the entire region
it's an unconventional war with one side hardly knowing what their objective is, as they are maneuvering in a minefield of diplomacy and military politics and the other side, while weaker, can just shoot and kill anything that moves
John Walker
They aren't losing, Obama purposely opened a safe corridor out of both Ramadi and now Mosul allowing top ISIS fighters to escape unharmed while kurds and iraqi army fight 3rd rate jihadis left over. Obama has no intention of defeating ISIS so can't lose.
I guarantee Trump's first day of office he allows the Iraqis to use their militias to cleanse Mosul. Obama prevents this because it's bad optics, he wants to pretend the iraq army is still competent
Dylan Thompson
you're missing the point
the US has done this in multiple countries, for once a rebel group our government backed wised up and took the cash and weapons and ran
the US still wants to use them to overthrow assad, but they had no idea how batshit ISIS would get
Austin Anderson
We're not trying to win. Here's what the DOD had to say about that in 2012:
>IF THE SITUATION UNRAVELS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME, WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE STRATEGIC DEPTH OF THE SHIA EXPANSION (IRAQ AND IRAN).
>THE DETERIORATION OF THE SITUATION HAS DIRE CONSEQUENCES ON THE IRAQI SITUATION AND ARE AS FOLLOWS:
>THIS CREATES THE IDEAL ATMOSPHERE FOR AQI TO RETURN TO ITS OLD POCKETS IN MOSUL AND RAMADI, AND WILL PROVIDE A RENEWED MOMENTUM UNDER THE PRESUMPTION OF UNIFYING THE JIHAD AMONG SUNNI IRAQ AND SYRIA, AND THE REST OF THE SUNNIS IN THE ARAB WORLD AGAINST WHAT IT CONSIDERS THE ONE ENEMY, THE DISSENTERS. ISI COULD ALSO DECLARE AN ISLAMIC STATE THROUGH ITS UNION WITH OTHER TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA, WHICH WILL CREATE GRAVE DANGER IN REGARDS TO UNIFYING IRAQ AND THE PROTECTION OF ITS TERRITORY.
Read this part again:
>IF THE SITUATION UNRAVELS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME

Someone isn't dropping enough bombs then. "Freedom Crater"
John Russell
What is OP even talking about
ISIS can't even win against Small Brown Kurdish Girls
Gavin Walker
The US is not losing the war and has no intention of winning it either. As far as the US is concerned with Isis, everything is going according to plan.
Easton Perry
Because you can't kill an ideology with drones. You get rid of ISIS and another rebel group takes their place.
Luke Wilson
>losing
SAGED
Hudson Bell
>implying beheaders weren't actors in greenscreen
Logan Moore
>How is the US losing this war?
ISIS has been getting their asses kicked nonstop all year.
Bentley Hughes

>We mutated out of AQ

We blow shit up everywhere
Profit????

>They want them there to fuck with assad
russia have hardly touched them, as you see now they fight the proxy nato funded aq.
It's over with the goat fuckers
Wyatt Reed
AQ or ISIS have never been any real threat..
Just OK to have there and fuck shit up, make em change muh phashes and come up in europe
dehumanize them selves
>what happens after people have dehumanized them selves? OR been dehumanized?
WAR
If you read enough or maybe too much of the wiki shit, and followed to her war... my theory since the leaders know of this shit, and use it.
IQ 80
>easy to manipulate

SOMALIS ARE JUST THE START
