Its mind blowing to me that we have pointlessly spent bazillions of taxpayer dollars
to rid the planet of this latest created "boogeyman".
"If you?re a black flag-waving, sword-wielding, desert bandit in white basketball shoes, you?ve got a lot of options when it comes to terrorizing the locals on the way to racking up territorial gains.
After all, indiscriminately killing civilians and conducting brutal executions can exert a powerful psychological effect on non combatants and on poorly trained, ill-prepared army regulars for weak Mid-East states.
You don?t, however, have a lot of options when it comes to countering an all-out aerial bombardment by one of the most powerful militaries on the planet.
Your options are even more limited if said aerial bombardment is backed by thousands of fearless militiamen belonging to a group that?s been fighting Mid-East proxy wars for more than three decades.
So, with Russia in the skies over Syria and Hezbollah on the ground, ISIS is in a tough spot
. But you know what they say: when the going gets tough, the tough get going, which explains why Islamic State has devised an innovative strategy for countering Russian airstrikes.
What they?ll do, you see, is inflate condoms and attach a homemade mine to them. They'll then float the condoms into the sky in an effort to create a kind of condom bomb sky minefield. That, ISIS figures, should deter Russian fighter jets.
