    Erm... Maybe. The ideology is typically the same at its core, but with the minutiae being a bit different. Ultimately, the bottom line is that almost all terrorist organisations of this type have the same basic goal; to remove whichever opposing force is "interfering" in the running of their country. I'm Scottish, and old enough to remember the Provisional IRA; not much has changed.*

    *Ignoring individual acts of terrorism, such as multiple American school shootings or Anders Breivik etc.

    the blast was also a mile long or something like that? And was it 37 confirmed fighters or was it 37 young males?

    Glass the house of Saud. The progenitor of Wahhabism and extremism that they have been funding and pushing through to Western society.

    Surgically strike every one of those fucks and the ideology of Islamic extremism will die with them.

    This is something I don't understand, how do anyone expect this to be won when we protect and fund one of the biggest terrorist supporters?

    We've gravely damaged them by collapsing the price of oil, and by having entrepreneurs working around the clock to make oil obsolete. Thank you, fracking and Elon Musk.

    Yeah, nah.

    They are the ones who crippled global oil prices by limiting production. It was a temporary measure that has led to the collapse or reduction of workforces in nearly every oil-producing country except Saudi Arabia.
    Now that production is back in full swing, look at who's still on top.

    You are claiming they made oil prices go DOWN by LIMITING production?

    I think you need a remedial course in economics, son.

    We can't really do stuff like this, but I have been playing with thoughts like making their oil reserves radioactive. Hypothetically would that even be possible without dropping a bomb?

    Do they know how many isis people or any other people that it killed? The cruise missile attack in Syria hardly did any damage.

    No, not really. Oil isn't like some big common underground pool; it's soaked into the rock like a sponge.

    Ok was just playing with the thought.

    But an important question, will the U.S. ever boycott them? They even attacked you on your own soil right?

    Also will that have any noticeable effect if not other countries join in?

    I don't know much about these things, they could already be boycotted for all I know.

    It wouldn't make much difference. Oil is a fungible commodity, mostly, traded on a large international market. We decide not to buy from country X, it just shifts who we do buy from, but doesn't affect the overall market price much.

    What mattered was changes in consumption and production that drove down the price for everyone.

    Kinda hard to bomb the fanaticism out of fanatics. But, sure, let's try it anyway.

    More dakka.

    Unfortunately I don't see them losing much if you look at what's going on in EU. And there's no change in sight towards the better at least.

    That 1 bomb cost over $300 million. There are better things to do with that money.

    It's a sad day when it's seen as politically incorrect to want to wipe out a disease.
    In the minds of some, wiping out ISIS doesn't stop the disease, the disease has already spread, they are just the heart of it. Fighting a losing battle, dealing with militants and terrorists. You can't stop them, as long as they continue to garner support and sympathy despite using their own supporters as human meat shields, terrorists will continue to exist. There will always be replacements, bodies for cannon fodder for our bombs.

    A few? Yes. The others? They will grow up and understand that food on table is better than blowing up shit and stuff.
