yeah the bombing that has killed nearly a third of the ISIS forces is ineffective.
Not met an old-school commie for quite a while. I thought you were all dead. Your political ideology is certainly so.
Killed a third of Daesh forces? Hahaha, what? It's not even known how large Daesh are, estimates of ground troops range from 30,000 to 150,000.
Again, you can't win a war from the skies, this is basic military strategy 101.
Also again, the PYD and PKK scored siginificant victories and carved out huge territory from Daesh long before the bombing campaigns even began. There are currently no bombing campaigns taking place around Al-Hasakah which is the major battle taking place which the PYD alone turned around.
Most of the bombing is targeted in Iraq anyway suppording the Peshmerga. Bombing in Syria has been sporadic at best and targeted at Daesh HQ and convoys.
There really isn't any point debating me on this, I'm in personal contact with members of military forces fighting Daesh from the PYD forces to the FSA factions getting news on Syria in almost a daily basis.
