Guess: best way to combat ISIS is to complete in LARP space. West has huge advantage in memetic warfare if deployed accurately.

@Meaningness OTOH the West that fights wars has nth-gen drones and combat optics, jihadis will never get better than Chinese knockoffs.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@drethelin@Meaningness Right, but: tactics where you lose 30 fighters for every 1 of theirs only works if theirs are worth 31 of yours.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@drethelin @Meaningness So it's an admission of permanent defeat disguised as a battle cry. You're not the plague, you're just herpes.
