Civil War in Syria

[Big Abraham]

The so-called "caliphate" of IS will be completely destroyed in the next days.

Uh, it pretty much already has been. They have not controlled any territory since 2017.

Patently false.

And also, it's common knowledge publicly available on Encyclopaedia Brittannica and Wikipedia:

"By November 2017, however, ISIL had lost all major territorial holdings."

"Following this major defeat, ISIL continued to lose territory to the various states and other military forces allied against it, until it controlled no meaningful territory by November 2017."

Your initial post claimed they held no territory which is false.  It is of course true that what they hold isnt meaningful its pretty much been a dozen villages for the last year, with the final offensive against them starting only like 2 months ago

Yeah, and in my initial post I said "pretty much", i.e. nearly, but not entirely, complete. They lost Hajin in 2018, their last capital, and they have no territory at this point other than a hardly-noticeable swath of land near the Euphrates River, which is not secure. In a word, they do not control any territory, and have not for quite some time
