YouTube Video - 360 degree video of Raqqa ruiins

Great BBC article about the subject

quote:

The SDF, which is made up of Kurds, Arabs - Muslims and Christian - and Yazidis, among others, has been making good progress since the offensive began in June.

It has IS surrounded. And with Western air power pounding from above, its front-line advances are chewing through neighbourhoods.

It is only a matter of time - perhaps a month, maybe two - before IS in Raqqa is swallowed whole.

This was the capital of the Islamic State’s unrealised caliphate. It was home to half a million people.

But now it is fit for no-one. IS is already making propaganda capital out of the destruction.

America says this a war of annihilation. Raqqa is the battleground and the victim.

Why not drop a nuke. Just a small one.

No one has to know.

Seriously though, half a million people?

I hate it for anyone who got stuck under the thumb of those evil bastards.

There's not often a black or white answer to things in this world, but I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that we are all better off with ISIS being wiped off the face of the fricking earth..

Trump said he would eliminate ISIS. Looks like he's well on the way :merica:

Pretty nuts that a city that has basically stood since the 3rd century BC has been reduced to this.

He told us to pound Raqqa into a parking lot and start over. Seems like we listened.

frick em. The citizens of that city, and country, should've taken care of the problem in its infancy. This would have never happened. I'm sure in the end the US will be blamed.

ISIS has got to hate the fact that they are getting their dicks kicked in by women.

Because there is a very good chance those retards are using citizens as shields and leverage.

Well we did eliminate the dictator that was suppressing extremists groups like them. So it kind of is our fault, plus we did put that dictator into power in the first place, so it definitely is our fault. Basically if we just would have let those people to their own sandy shite box we wouldn't be dealing with this shite today. They have been killing each other since the dawn of time, and will continue until the end of time, regardless of what do or don't do. IMO, we should stay out of it, they are are on the opposite side of the planet and just make sure it stays on that side of the planet.
