ISIS recapture Palmyra/Tudmur

[crazyladybutterfly]

The Arabs can make and do what they want within their borders. I support this decision of ISIS.

the arabs dont want to be ruled by isis fanatics
when they fall for their propaganda they soon regret it ... dont speak in behalf of them

[crazyladybutterfly]

If ISIS beheaded you, I would laugh.

THAT GUY IS ABSURD
he doesnt care if a movement of fanatics who wants to rule the whole world ,under sharia, establishes a strong base next to HIS country

but i a willing to bet he is afraid of kurds

A while ago the Russians and Syrians reconquered the city, which was a big propaganda coup. ISIS have seized it completely in the past 24 hours, confirmed by the governor of Homs province.

It's just an act of distraction from Assad side for the world community before final part of Aleppo battle, only trick just like all ISIS activity in Syria.

Moreover I think that Mecca should be demolished!

I see you think like ISIS does, they too want to demolish Mecca.

ISIS is the useful idiot, they benefit everyone. Assad, Putin, Erdogan, the EU and the US all have a reason to keep them strong or at least in the news. How else can you justify a war in Syria if it isn't for ISIS?

very true...

ISIS has no military gear factory to make rifle, tank etc. They only have some equipment they seized from Iraq/Syrian Army. They are not more than 10-15,000 people. How a coalition formed by USA, Russia, Europe who have a technology/missiles able to hit a target from 2000 km can be unsuccesful against these little "terror" group? Ridicilous.

These are some tanks home-made by ISIS :






While This is The USA:


and Russia:

ISIS is still alive because;

1. Iraq/Syrian solders and the terrorist groups backed by the west like PYD/YPG are too coward to fight ISIS.
2. The west do not want to finish ISIS.

Who cares? Their Syrian ancestors have erected this place. Their descendants can also put them back in ruins. Why you guys care about these ruins? Palmyra is just another tool to demonize the "Islamic" barbarism.

I care. Palmyra didn't belong to the Syrians only, but to UNESCO, to the World Heritage. ISIS is not only an Arab but predominantly a Sunni terrorist organization. Would you be happy the day when Turkish ISIS members destroy Ephesus ? Would you applause the "demonized" Islamists ?

Anyway, the millions of Human lives killed by ISIS or al-Assad (made even more victims than ISIS), his Russian allies and various rebel groups will always matter more than ruins, I don't care how many milleniums they have behind. One day, we shall rebuild all this exactly as it was before (thanks to modelized computer technology). But Human lives will be gone forever.

Actually, ISIS has a manpower of around 100.000 men. That's more than many army around the world (Canada have an army of 66.000 men).
They receive a lot of money and weapons from differents countries (including France). They have partisans in many places. And some countries had an ambigous position on them.
Strategically they have been smart and they took the best of the anarchic situation in middle east.
So, in fact that's not really a surprise they are still here.

ISIS is still alive because;

1. Iraq/Syrian solders and the terrorist groups backed by the west like PYD/YPG are too coward to fight ISIS.
2. The west do not want to finish ISIS.

The point is that an intervention to destroy ISIS will requier the send of many ground troops. It would be bloody and nobody really want to make the sacrifice. And yeah some people in the west concienciously or not want to keep ISIS alive.

There are some rumors that Chechens regiment will be send in Syria. It's a good news, they might change a lot of thing. Just their reputations will have an impact on the situation.

Unfortunately Syrian Army is bunch of clowns, they either do not want to fight or can not fight without external "help".

Arab armies in general have massive problems with discipline. Saudi Iraq Syrian or Egyptian, all the same lazyness and low discipline.

It's sad that Russia has to waste it's money and resources /lives fighting wars for worthless Arabs.

This is true, without RuAF help they would be restricted to Latakia and Tartus by now (and maybe their holdouts in the far East).

Before Russian intervention, Hezbollah and Iran prevented collapse of the Syrian Army.

Unfortunately, politics are made over the heads of the population. If I were the president, no Arab or Kurd would live in Turkey.

At least, Turkey is providing strategic assistance in Al-Bab so that the Arabs can return to their homes.

You talk like a nazi as if you're a authentic turk I guess you may be a turkished slave from balkan or greece
