ISIS has been keen to try to reestablish its territory outside of the deserts in Syria. The latest data, for November, shows that this isn’t working, and ISIS attacks have fallen to the lowest number of the year, and around the lowest ever.
Almost all of the attacks were in Deir Ezzor Province, with just a handful reported elsewhere. Officials say they see a gradual decline of the number of attacks everywhere, though they say even the current lows are too high.
Desperate to find a new meaning, ISIS has been activating sleeper cells, though officials say that with little progress they have less and less room to do so in the future.
While the number of attacks hit a low, the deaths in ISIS attacks actually increased 50% from October, with 15 killed in the 16 attacks.
Where is ISIS?
How do you know it is “searching for new meaning”? Who is financing it? Who is supplying weapons, vehicles, gas and food? Where is water source?
Why continue publishing such fairy tales to justify the establishment presence in Syria and Iraq? Why?
There is simply no explanation for this persistent effort to keep “ISIS” brand in continuous use.
It is particularly offensive to talk of “ISIS” in Syria. Geography of Syria is not complicated. Look it up. Is there ANY ISIS in government controlled area? Any ISIS in Turkish controlled area? No and no. By now US vaguely holds only few minor spots PHYSICALLY, and very FIRMLY controls BY AIR the province of Deir Azzor. What it means in practice?
It means that Syria and Russia cannot do any surveillance by air — and are not allowed to cross into the territory chasing terrorists — whatever their name. Not allowed to touch terrorists protected by US. There is ZERO explanation for the existence of terrorists in Deir Azzor, excelt as protected protégés of US.
Any other explanation? And the presence of SDF in the same province is even more insane. These are Kurds — exclusively. What are Kurds doing there? There are no Kurds living there! These are Syrian Arab clans who expressed many times their wish for US to go, and take their SDF Kurds with them?
Do what are Kurds doing there? Being US ground force, to insure that should Syrian army try to chase “ISIS” into Deir Azzor, that SDF can call for US air support. You see, we are so gallant — protecting poor Kurds who actually do not actually live there. Our mercenaries.
So why the continued string of articles on this site? Why continue to pretend to be illiterate and ignorant? Why religiously take official narrative on “ISIS” without questioning the most blatant contradictions?
This is a sacred cow if I ever saw one. Not to be questioned. Baffling.
