Adding to the air campaign to annihilate these locust dogs will at least enable everyone else to perhaps come to their senses and negotiate peace out of this fuck up of a mess, which is completely off the cards as long as ISIS exists as an entity.

This is a normal post On a purely militarily point of view
Signing petition and hiding behind a hedge in Dartmoor will not make ISIS go away.
No matter how I would love that to be the solution.
Endless talk and giving them cuddles neither.

There are two ways to get rid of them:
1)Cut Funding.
2)Destroy them militarily.

1) Is impractical because it means attacking Saudi Arabia (sanctions and all).
And God (all of the gods) knows long long our elites have been fucking livestock heads with their elites.
So not going to happen, even in a parallel universe.

1) Destroy them militarily:
Where there are two general options of using airforces.
Strategic and tactical.

Strategic is great for politicians, nice vids of buildings blowing up, great stats etc etc.
But as Sinjar proves, of little real significance because the buggers have learnt to dig, dig and dig.
The only ones without 10m of earth above their heads being civilians.
So while some supplies might get smashed, the overall effectiveness is limited.
If one cares to look at history of "long" wars;
WW2 Europe, WW2 Pacific, Korea and Vietnam.
Indiscriminate bombing of Berlin, Tokyo, Saigon, Pyongyang did nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But it did kill/main loads of civilians (innocent or not).
The only strategic bombing that did anything of value was destroying roads, bridges and tunnels.
The good thing about this kind of bombing is that one can chose to do it outside of towns.

Tactical is a whole other animal.
More the kind of stuff the Germans then the Russians excelled at.
That means close corporation with front-line troops and smashing only the stuff that gets in their way.
This moves forward like a wave, giving a big heads up to civilians to head for the hills.
But this is far less politically friendly, being up close and personal, yields far less cute imagery, is brutal and forces one to collaborate with the boots (Kurds, Iranians, Hezbolla etc) - a politicians nightmare, ruining all the small boxes where he had put all the different factions in.
This leads to a war of attrition with a very big advantage in our corner that can lead to a rout where every single one of these killer rapists can be splattered over the landscape.

Simply looking at past wars, I would be inclined to suggest doing a mostly tactical air campaign (implies having our FAC's in the mud with Iranians etc) with a limited strategic campaign aimed at transport infrastructure.

So if there was a petition of "NO indiscriminate Strategic bombing of Syria", I'd sign it.
A "no bombing because if we are nice, Isis will be nice to us" will not get my support.

This is a normal post The problem is Saudi Arabia
When our leaders realise all of this wahhabist crap that has decimated the muslim community world wide with it's puritanical nonsense is actually the real problem here and actually outweighs any economic benefit trading with the place, the sooner Islam itself might be able to address the fact the Saudi influence on it as an ideology has hurt it horribly. Something that won't happen as long as the Saudis have so much wealth to spread around the world. We can go after scum like ISIS until the world is reduced to rubble and ruins. Without tackling the root of the infestation -Saudi Arabia- it is a monster that will always be in our midsts

And not a single refugee to boot, despite them having facilities on hand to house thousands and thousands of them in their air conditioned tent cities for the pilgrims

This is a normal post Well obviously
the point I think, is that dropping bombs into areas populated mostly with civilians is not the smartest way to do that -- terrorists it turns out don't tend to group up in large groups, but rather hide among the general population.

if anything you would make it easier for them to show a continual stream of dead children pics, and recruit more cunts to their lost cause.

there are better ways, and if we take a step back and engage our brains we could shut them down by trying to stem the flow of support and weapons from the gulf states.

This is a normal post Nice kid, but you don't listen.
If you bomb far to the rear, aka strategic, the chance of creating innocent collateral is exponentially higher.
Thus creating the breeding ground for what you say.

But I think that breeding ground is mostly fairy tales.

I don't see hordes of German, Japanese, Vietnamese, North Korean or Afghan terrortourist blowing up US cities...

Terrorists we are confronted to now tend to be mostly home grown and/or westernised.
So I think something else must be pushing them over the edge.

Constant Wahabi propaganda being the big one.
And it does it's recruiting over perceived offences (cartoons, desecrated korans, we are better than those sinners etc) not on "Poor us, we got bombed".

I'm listening, I just dont find the idea that there is a front where the terrosists hang out and a rear where all the civililans are very compelling. Or indeed that fighting them would be comparable to fighting the nation of Germany or Japan

If all we have to worry about (in terms of their numbers growing) are the ridiculous propaganda examples you give, then shouldn't we be debunking it rather than underpinning it?

This is a normal post There are not front lines everywhere (a bit like the dessert in 1942)
But there are definitive fronts in some places where they are fixed targets - like Aleppo.
Bleed them dry there, bombing their capital is going to do fuck all if history is to be trusted.

Debunking is hard, because their people (religious leaders etc) who are in the position to do so are doing the bunking.

In any case, it's complex, and I could 100% wrong and you 104% right and we would not know it.

That's where tactical bombing would do the maximum damage for the least civilian casualties.

There's enough forces engaged on the ground at the moment. Let's act as air support for them and help them fight their own war rather than do it for them. Then by all means send peacekeepers in afterwards like we did in the Balkans.

They're getting money and guns and people from somewhere. the money is Saudi money, the guns are Saudi guns and the porous border that people have entered Syria through is Turkey's. These are our allies in the region and they are arming and funding daesh.

What sort of military strategy ignores funding streams and supply lines?

The non-military options have barely been explored let alone tried.

This is a link post Cigar-chomping lunatic Ridley Scott has announced that his new Prometheus sequel ("Alien: Covenant ") is just the first in a new TRILOGY of prequels.
At this stage one would hope that he's not deliberately trying to destroy the original.

Though this is an actual quote from his announcement:

"There'll be another one and then another one which will gradually drive into the back entrance of the 1979 film."

Oh, Ridley.

This is just too easy.

Very well made and shot, but just awful in terms of holes - more holey than a swiss cheese shot with a shotgun, and then worked over with a hole punch e.g. (spoiler alert) mending an air lock with polythene sheet and duct tape? FFS.

Saw Interstellar last night, more bollocks - just a chick flick with time travel.

It might have been more recently than you think.

Over a few glasses of wine, Mom told me about all the sound effects she'd worked out to make the whole thing more realistic for her callers. Silly putty is good for general squelching, and wet flannels dropped into the toilet apparently sound exactly like massive shits. You can blow a raspberry at guys who are big into farting, but you have to be careful not to laugh. It seemed like she was really getting into the swing of her new job.

I've been a nutty fan of theirs since I first heard Failure in the '90s, but was in a country where I'd never get to se them live. I emigrated and, I've been to a few of their concerts since their reformation in 2010. I actually saw them three times on one tour when I followed them from Sydney to Melbourne - mostly to go to a festival that also featured My Bloody Valentine and Einstuerzende Neubauten.

It was great seeing the reactions of people who weren't actuallythere to see them at that concert, because the volume and intensity of the show was so far beyond the experience of most people that no-one there was unimpressed. I sawa few girls dragging their boyfriends away, but other than that, everyone was just gobsmacked.
