Strikes Against ISIS In Syria

(Michales) The Russian Defense Ministry said that a training camp and ammo depot were destroyed by bombings near the Islamic State’s defector capital in Syria, Raqqa. The countries of France, Turkey, the United States, Germany, Britain, Qutar, and Saudi Arabia; all say that Russia’s actions will “only fuel more radicalization and extremism.” (Michales) Russia’s airstrikes complicate U.S. efforts to build a moderate opposition in Syria, designed to counter the Islamic State there. (Michales) Pentagon efforts to train and deploy forces stalled before Russia’s airstrikes, but any future recruitment could be difficult if the Pentagon doesn’t provide U.S- backed rebels with guarantee of protection if they come under Russian attack. (Michales) Iraq is accepting help from both the United States and Russia is an ally to the Shiite- dominated government, Iraqi leaders will follow them, while the U.S has been trying to force the Iraqis to compromise with the Sunnis. Nonetheless, when the time comes, Iraq will pick Russia for help to fight

President Obama is one of those people who does not obtain the desire to send troops to fight Isis, for he expresses this opinion in his statement, “This is not a traditional military opponent, we can retake territory and as long as we keep our troops there we can hold it. But that does not solve the underlying problem of eliminating the dynamics that are producing these kinds of violent, extremist groups,” (“Obama Won’t Send,” 2015). President Obama has been faced with war decisions on terrorism prior to Isis with the terrorist group, Al Qaeda. When Barack Obama became president, he sent most of America’s ground troops in Iraq home to their families. He then announced the United States was no longer pursuing a War on Terror, but rather focusing the military on specific enemies. This war tactic ended in success, given the Navy SEALs raided the Al Qaeda leader’s compound. Navy SEALs then shot and killed Al Qaeda’s leader, Osama Bin

It 's actual that the kind of war being pursued in Iraq and Syria at this moment is distinctive, yet it 's not clear that the impacts will be. Both Iraq and Syria are crushed by war, common and something else, and if ISIS is steered from the region there are no solid governments to move in and restore request. The Iraqi government is a

From the time when the United States invaded Iraq eleven years ago, a noxious insurgence aeriated at numerous customs of conflict which has attested irrepressible, malleable, and tenacious strive to convey on hostility. A nation of Saddam and al-Zarqawi, Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) reins a third of conjointly Syria and Iraq in its charisma avowed bravura of war. Around the beginning of 2010, U.S. and Iraqi forces destroyed two topmost al-Qaeda and Iraq frontrunners; which then sanctioned Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to become the spearhead of an assemblage destabilized by a strenuous operation directed at culminating a Sunni uprising in the country (CNN, 2015). By virtually all provision, Iraq is entangled in civil war. In addition, ISIS has engrossed nearly twelve thousand supporters from overseas already and at least three thousand devotees are from the West (Feroli & Dulin, 2013).

The U.S. strategy for defeating ISIS must look like defeating terrorists without compromising foreign interest in these countries, like Syria, and Iraq. There is also a risk for finding trustworthy allies, and having weapons falling into the wrong hands. Therefore U.S. should provide aids to allies and help them figure out their true ideology. A war would destroy the economy of the Syria and negatively affect the citizens as well as the environment of the region. For the betterment of the world and its people, countries should come together and end the war by negotiating rather than shooting at each other, if possible.

The Iranians have clearly provided support to the Assad regime during the civil war, as indicated by the increasing number of Iranian generals dying in Syria (Wright). Clinton has admitted that not acting after Bashir Al-Assad crossed the proverbial “red line” and used chemical weapons on his own people was detrimental to the administration’s integrity. With the Islamic State (ISIS) operating out of Syria under the protection of the Syrian government, throughout her tenure as Secretary of State and as a presidential candidate, Clinton has always maintained the mantra “Assad must go.”

The main topic of this article is ISIS has become the most dangerous ,most vulnerable terrorist group in the entire history of the USA. The article is about how ISIS has been intimidating the USA in many different ways such as beheadings and suicide bombings. The only problem is that ISIS is targeting not only the Iraqi government and the American forces in Iraq but as well as Shia Muslims , Christians and increasingly, civilians of all faiths in unpredictable that include violent attacks such as the one's I mention, beheadings and suicidal bombing. The USA is mostly attacking instead of thinking over ways to intimidate and scare ISIS but the problem is that are in a place where all people can do is talk to impress others but do not act like they should be instead of wasting time on talking.

On the other hand, a U.S. military intervention is unlikely to happen since the U.S. cannot afford, politically or economically, an unsecured contribution to the Syrian war for an unpredictable period of time, especially after Obama’s foreign policy has been focused on ending all military involvements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. army hasn’t seemed to rest from the wounds of the two major past war, and veteran families were promised that military interventions will end, which makes the issue of intervention in Syria even more complicated for the U.S.

"ISIS has much more financial power than Al Qaeda ever had. When ISIS moves from where it is now to become a global terrorist organization, they will already have thousands of people positioned." O'Leary added that the ability of ISIS to use the internet for recruiting supporters and as part of its communications strategy distinguishes it from other groups. He called for actions "To squeeze those who have been soft on ISIS," noting that "Those that have particularly been soft are the Saudis, The Qataris and the Turks, who in other respects are our allies." He expected the Paris attacks to persuade those in power to give priority to the defeat of ISIS over the removal of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.

“The panicked reactions, fanned by right-wing politicians in the United States and Europe, to ‘declare war’ on the Islamic State are mostly just noise. None of those proposing that kind of response offer the slightest idea of how it would be done; all they have is an understandable desire, which we share, to obliterate the terrorist group also known as ISIS,” wrote the New York Times editorial board. Syria fell under a French Mandate after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, and then struggled to achieve independence. The Assad family used repressive police state measures to ensure a stable government in Syria. An increase of opposition caused Bashar al-Assad to inflict more brutality and dictatorship.

ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is also known as ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The Levant refers to a larger region of the Middle East, therefore involving more countries other than Syria. President Obama refers to this malicious, relentless terrorist group as such due to their threat in multiple areas in the Middle East. This truly establishes the multitude of the presence of ISIS in this area. However, ISIS refuses to limit the countries in their path of destruction to simply the Middle East, but has made convincing threats to America, namely the members of our armed forces, (“Beheading Video Sends Brutal Message”) and the American population in general. ISIS pursued their threats to maintain and sustain growth of their caliphate by the killing of two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff. This has certainly caused America to consider the level of seriousness of ISIS and determine the extensiveness of their plans. The United States plays a pivotal role in limiting the power and harm inflicted on its own population, as well as the global population by this terrorist group. An effective course of action must be taken against this group to ensure the safety of our citizens. The United States should primarily seek to utilize their armed forces as opposed to air strikes to successfully eliminate ISIS, and must engage with ISIS in order to ensure its demise for the safety of the global population.

East Asia is globalizing at a rapid speed, and due to its large influence on the rest of the world it is important to analyze the progression occurring here. Currently, the war against terrorism is a growing concern and countries around the world have come together to meet for a consensus about the negativity surrounding terrorism, specifically a unification against ISIS. ISIS, which stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a terror organization that has claimed responsibilities for the recent bombings in Paris, Belgium and Pakistan (1). The Obama Administration has shown great attention and focus towards ending ISIS and creating a unification between allied nations. On November 15 2015, President Obama met with the presidents of

The coalition began bombing IS in mid-2014 and carried out more than 14,090 air strikes in Iraq and Syria till July 2016, roughly 77 percent of which was implemented by America. In Syria, America started a three-year program in 2015 to train and equip almost five thousand “appropriately vetted elements of the Syrian opposition” to attack IS. As a result, the efforts of the U.S in the war against IS have gained significant results in spite of various short-comings. America has succeeded in creating a coalition of 18 countries against IS and generally gained the international support in the war against terrorism. President Obama emphasized that “the strength of the coalition make it clear to the world that this is not America's fight alone". Besides, IS was weakened operationally and tactically. Its flow of money has been cut off. Abu Sayyaf, a senior ISIS leader, was killed. IS has lost 40 percent of its occupied territory in Iraq. A number of key cities such as Tikrit and Kobani in Iraq gained freedom. On the other side, it is debatable that the war against IS has been costly but it has not solved the problems properly. According to the Pentagon, the cost of the airstrikes against IS is estimated at $7.6 million per day, over a billion dollars in total. Notably, the situation in Iraq and Syri has remained uncertain.
