These are bad people, using terrorism both real and threatened, as an excuse to hold political control over people that don't want them there.

You just described every state actor that’s ever existed...

Like the Democratic Party?  I'm confused as to your point I think.

The mainstream media won't mention this, of course, but CSJC just destroyed another ISIS isolated stronghold.

what is this supposed to be?  Google wasn't particularly helpful.  A Facebook page that was active for 3 months, 3 years ago.

Now we get to sit back and wait to see where the future martyrs congregate next.  I say somewhere in the Horn of Africa.

I'll bet on South Asia.

My guess is Sweden.

What do you think will happen to the Kurds in Syria under Rojava after the Government defeats the rebels?

That's exactly what worries me the most, and why we should implement a no-fly zone over Kurdish territory like we did for their Iraqi counterparts after the Gulf War.  As well as arming and equipping them with the latest weaponry, particularly anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns.  It will make both Syria and (Russia-aligned) Turkey think twice before attacking them.  

100% agree   Hell, give 'em some (50 or so) last generation fighters and send a couple hundred of them through USAF flight school, we owe them at least 10 times as much.  Maybe a few hundred Abrams too.

A modified version of the well-known Hellfire missile, the weapon carries an inert warhead. Instead of exploding, it is designed to plunge more than 100 pounds of metal through the tops of cars and buildings to kill its target without harming individuals and property close by.

To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky, the officials said. But this variant of the Hellfire missile, designated as the R9X, also comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.

cool
