Oh lol, I see.

Teamwork for the different sides, iraq temporarily sided with the kurdish before turning on them to defeat ISIS, and russia teamed up with iran, and syria because they were much more present in syria, and stronger.

@Deleted User I did not claim such a thing.

This would all require US and Russian forces being on the exact same page, working together as allies.

Nope.

So...who wiped out ISIS then?

Save the Boers

Petitions won't work.

@fannybandit Not one group, there cannot be one super magical country that does all the work.

Trump literally ignores them unless the White House deletes them.

@Deleted User That's my point...everyone would've had to work together.

@fannybandit Let me repeat myself: "Teamwork for the different sides, iraq temporarily sided with the kurdish before turning on them to defeat ISIS, and russia teamed up with iran, and syria because they were much more present in syria, and stronger. "

Russia and the US has a lot of tension back then.

@Deleted User You left out the US.

The majority of the influence.

They didn't work together though, russia and the US hate each other.

They did.

If they still did, ISIS would be able to thrive.

Not really, the US actually preformed few bombings in the middle east, it was turkey and iraq that did most of the bombings.

What of their mass occupations in warzones?

The US would've had to participate.

They didn't occupy shit.

So...they didn't control Iraq or Afghanistan?

I didn't claim that they didn't.

You're saying US forces had nothing to do with the ISIS defeat?

But the US pulled out of the middle east almost a decade before ISIS was defeated.

Not nothing, but little.

The US never pulled out.

We're still there.

We always were.

@fannybandit Yes, they did, did you not pay attention to worldwide events in 2011? 99% of our ground forces were sent home and only advisors were left.

In both Iraq and Afghanistan?

Yep.

Show me.

I'm not buying that at all.

There's no way in hell 99% of our forces just left.

I know that because even after ISIS is defeated, we're still malingering.

Dude...

That's Reuters...
