Guess we have to wait and see.
Good thing the Nobel laureat doesn’t want to put any boots on the ground that could be in harms way.
Send in these Kurdish girls, they’re kicking butt. Kill or be raped seems to be very motivational.
That seems to be cutting it too close. I would have expected them to be further away from the front.
The war is certainly taking a long time. Without cutting their financing and supply it will never end. I thought once they closed the Saudi Arabia border it would be the end of ISIS on Iraq but they pushed back again.
They need to close the borders to Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Problem is Turkey is more than happy for ISIS to be killing Kurds.
