#4 Iff the US-Allies fail to destroy the ISIS/ISIL, the latter will survive for decades to come, will go Nukulaar, will continue wid Global Jihad to the bitter end, + will foster the rise of a "Muslim/Islamic Napoleon" = "Islamic Mahdi/Messiah/Imam" 2030-2050.

This pressure, if it manifests itself will come from the grassroots, not from the establishment.
