        ISIS was a largely local threat with territorial ambitions till the US got involved and validated their "civilizational conflict" delusions.

        ISIS threat to the US was vastly overstated from the beginning. Threat to Yazidis, Christians, and other locals? Yes. Threat to the US? No.

        ISIS attack on Paris in November 2015 came after France joined with the US and bombed ISIS targets in Syria/Iraq.

        Hence why one of the best and most effective counter-terrorism strategies is to refrain from bombing places.

        They know Hillary is coming and won't be soft on them like Pres Obama has been. Better to give up now than suffer her wrath.

        @Josiensor people who cower in a ditch in the face of a military can still strap a bomb to themselves and set it off in a market
