I dunno, this ISIS seems like a boogeyman. No pictures of their bases nothing concrete really, just some jeeps shooting and chaos in urban areas is shown on TV. And yet they control and gain so much territory.
This has been done before historically, if you consider the Norman invasions of Britain or Sicily for example. Shock and awe tactics in small numbers, soon you can punch well above your weight. Lack of means of communication between people is a great weapon for an invader.

How big is normandy? Sicily? And how long were they without HQ and such things? These guys supposedly controls half the countries territories. Plus you hear how they actually control these territories, even taxing the people. Yet we can only see some jeeps and some chaos on the news. When it comes to russia, the nato guys picture russian flags on their tanks from their satalites and show it to the whole world, and here? Ether they have an increadible responsive task force or there is something wrong here.

For instance what are these airstrikes for? Who are they aiming? Toyotas? Those aren't that expensive anymore.

Toyota's are made to last these days.
That I agree. I would put an ad for those jeeps. Toyota - extreme as it can be. And there is a video with a sand nigger yelling agbar kumar lahaahabaha calif calif and riding in the middle of the desert shooting an ak47 and then yelling some more isis sisil yella yealla. And for the shock value I would put some westerner who burns his passport and yells some non understandable jiberish with ninja folks with ak's surrounding him.

This situation doesn't make sense to me.

and other reports are saying the army is composed of Orcs, Haradrim, Easterlings, Variags, Trolls, Half-trolls of Far Harad, Wargs, Mumakil, Uruk hai, Black Uruks and Nazgûl

That too. This thing is so imaginative and without any concrete information yet presented that we are fighting some sort of real nation with infrastructure means and power. Yet no real evidence of those things has yet to pop up on TV.

I told this before. It is a region wide Sunni rebellion welcomed by most of the populace who are victimized by the government. Media are trying to portray it as some lunatics are beheading people left and right.

Well Sicily and the southern half of Britain are pretty big areas in themselves, although they did take some years to achieve this. They didn't have the benefit of Toyota's back in the Middle Ages, however.

The reason I picked that loose example is because they took over random towns and villages sporadically, they didn't unite as lands until much later. Just look at their territory map FFS: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Normannen.png :lol: I suppose ISIS have their own idea to create a new caliphate, but then a lot of these people never made it out of the Middle Ages.

The ones who they were supposed to fight chickened out. Minimal resistance really.

They're a bunch of camel fucking inbreds with jeeps and ak-47s.

survival? most isis is brainwashed foreign wanna be rappers and sexually frustrated saudi teenagers.


btw it just clicked with me how similar isis is to pol pot's khmer rouge movement, both in ideology application and how both are just tools to pressure regional powers.
