re: do you think it's possible to win a war without putting boots on the ground

This is why they have been having so many attacks in Europe. ISIS is losing ground so they are attacking "soft spots" in order to give the perception they are still going strong.

Fighting them on the battlefield & fighting the ideology are two very different things. The fact is "bombing them into submission" is a joke at this point. We (I say this lightly because I don't think the US should handle this situation alone) need to hit them financially. Take away the trade roots that they use to sell oil,weapons,drugs and other supply. When you eliminate the financial backing ISIS is a joke.

As far is defeating the random attacks. That has more to do with nations wanting to share intel with one another. Which isn't as open as it probably should be.
