The leading member of the International Coalition Against ISIS is idly watching and twiddling their thumbs as the newest member of the International Coalition Against ISIS releases all of the ISIS fighters from the prisons they recently gained control of by attacking another member of the Coalition.

What the new Syrian regime released from prisons just one day after taking control will become the new core leadership of ISIS. Just for the record. There are some ‘nice guys’ from Europe among them

Long live the great and courageous people of Iran, inheritors of an ancient civilization that has endured tyranny and conquest — and will outlive the Islamic Republic.
Nighttime protest scene in Iran. A person dressed in dark clothing stands in the foreground with their back to the camera, arms raised in a V-shaped gesture, facing a large fire burning intensely from a metal container or barricade. Flames rise several feet into the air, illuminating debris scattered across the street, including discarded objects and broken items. Groups of people stand in the background on both sides of the road, watching from a distance under streetlights, with smoke and firelight filling the scene.

Pretty much. And if Trump pushes for a full on occupation, it's going to be a shitshow. There is a window to coax a regime change to a democratic one (or a US puppet) that would be less disastrous than the current one. How will Trump decide? He doesn't know it, so how could we.
