ISIS Is Vanquished

ISIS, the worst Islamist barbarians the world has seen in perhaps a century or more, is very nearly totally destroyed. They have lost their capital of Raqqa, they have lost 97% of their territory, and there appears to be only a few thousand jihadis left in the caliphate that never was. It started with Vladimir Putin, who did his best to stand alone as defender of the West for a decade. Even as Ovomit and Hitlery did everything they could to fund, train, and arm ISIS, in Libya and Syria, and even as they gave ISIS tanks and an entire fleet of Toyota trucks, even as they empowered Ottomanist Turkey and threatened to drag Russia into nuclear war, Putin stood his ground and bombed the hell out of ISIS. Then, in 2017, when Trump came into power in the US he changed the rules of engagement and began to bomb ISIS along with Russia. No longer was the US required to fight with two feet in a bucket and only engage targets after having been fired upon first, no longer was the US committed to arming and defending "moderate" jihadis whose weapons ultimately found their way into ISIS hands. Now Trump unleashed hell upon the barbarians, and the two superpowers have beaten them down to the point where not only has ISIS been vanquished, it is near totally obliterated.
