When Mosul was overrun and the Iraqi army hastily retreated, ISIS captured US supplied weapons to the Iraqi government -- you were doing a happy dance crucifissio.
The Islamic Terrorist State is alive and well in spite of what the Tass clones and the western media is saying. The Viet Cong were the same way -- different cause but dedicated to their deaths if need be. They fight for an idea -- that is a very difficult thing to destroy. ISIS terrorizes the civilian population just like the VC did in Vietnam.
This is not about religion, if you believe that you are just buying the dogma bullshit -- this is about control and monetary gain of one group over another.
Russia and the US have no ideology. Russia fights to keep their military bases in Syria and the US fights to control their and their world's oil flow.
This war has gone on longer than than Vietnam War -- perhaps at lower intensity however the locals have really had heavy losses.
