Isis loosing their two last places including their caliphate capital will hurt their recruitment abit, who likes to join a piece of shit group who cant even defend the caliphate.
Big picture means terrorist activities in general.
As I said, yes, it will hurt ISIS, but nothing will prevent its creators to create a new organization, just like when ISIS got big after Alqaeda got weak.
As long as we don't tackle the roots of the problem ( which IMO are gulf nations) they will fund another one and another one and ...
If true, then it is good news.
And you all doomsayers here, with your "2 new heads" - it does change things. Morale is a thing even amongst them, loss of leadership hurts even them, the possible infighting also weakens them, and so on. You cannot kill the idea, sure, but you can make damn sure that their "country" does not exist.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was supposedly kinda crazy af. Never really dug into it, so I dunno how true it is because of bias and whatnot but from what I once gathered, back on the streets he had a nickname "The Green Man" because he had tons of tattoos. He got locked up started getting deep into Islam, memorized the entire Quaran and upon learning his tattoos were forbidden he cut them all out with a razor blade. Cutting your tats out with a razor is some crazy pain. If he did that w/o any drugs, that's just insane.
Edit for clarity.

On one hand I agree with you, but on the other many of these people are convinced that after death they will be rewarded in some paradise. The idea one will be rewarded in the hereafter can be extremely dangerous. About the snake growing other heads, ISIS and similar groups may be destroyed if you kill enough of its leaders, but where the snake grows other heads may not be so much with respect to another leader cropping up, but another organization entirely.
Problem with those leaders is, that they work like warlords. Kill one, another takes place in power vacume.
Only way to fix this is going by a land to land and convincing people to become civilans again and invest into them.
But that is not gona happen, since a distabilized country means cheap oil.
