#1 Nice islamic fellating article. The 'IS way of war'. The IS way of war' is successful only so long as it is being challenged by unmotivated, confused people. People who think there are good muslims and bad muslims and Ally muslims and non Ally muslims. That muslims can be hired as interpreters and intermediaries and contractors during war operations against muslims. That muslim intelligence can be treated as clean and muslims can be aided to fight their own little battles in order to accomplish the larger objective.

That's the extent of the islamic 'art of war'. Fight only fools and weaklings with notions of nobility that outweigh prudence.

#2 The piece is actually by Ido Levy, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Shafaq are actually a pro Kurdistan agency, they don't fellatio jihaders. It's just a well written and better researched piece of analysis.

You should have read it more carefully instead of being triggered at the certain words used. In fact, Levy's book 'Soldiers of End-Times' should be required reading for officers facing any islamic regime's fighters and even counter intelligence operators.

Hatred is good. One cannot dominate physically without adequate hatred. But underestimation of the enemy is foolishness. This is the one lesson the western world refuses to learn, since their view of anything west of the pacific was never based on righteous rage or smart appraisal but racial contempt and indifference. And they always faced it with the same industrial 'efficiency' the IR had taught them was next to divine. Think Skynet, it's thoughtless machines rolling over things it considers beneath itself and too stupid to counter it. [Art unconsciously imitates life] But the manifesto thumping commie, the sunnah bearded moslem, the hitherto disenfranchised lésbian loon, the Jordan Peel-ed wakandan ... they all hate with a fervent malice. Malice and supremacist angst is inherent in islam, which is drilled into moslems from infancy. Violence is prescribed in the marxist bases of most anti-America sentiment today.

There are valuable lessons in the way rag-tag groups of opponents and activists unite under a single criminal philosophy and motivated by only burning hatred they bring down teched-up giants defended by only lumbering bureaucracies. And once they do, they generally tend to replace the old order with their own. This applies to armies too. On the field, a guerilla culture of opportunity and plodding, sacrificial fighting is necessary only up to the point you don't have dominance. Once dominance is established, forces integrate conventionally and streamline their efforts, put better tactics into use, they now control rather than extort local economies. They become armies, they recruit professionally, they establish standards and regimens and routines. The daesh was shown a crushing momentum of marching death with over two thousand precision guided WMDs by the coalition, starting with the Kobani seige. It only ramped up from there and drove them into hiding or surrender. And that's where you may be right. Taking prisoners, especially trusting the Kurds and Iraqi moslems to deal with the survivors... again, self-righteous hubris writ into the many Magna Cartas and Bills of Rights and UNDHRs and Geneva and the complex ROEs that emasculate any credible response to islamist militarism. That's something that serves the islamist well. The west essentially forgot the principles of the bible and replaced them with some faggot philosophies of humanism couched in psychosocial verbiage. [A topic for another day, old bugbear of mine.]

But the teach is good. Levy's analysis describes how the guerilla type asymmetric thingy evolves into a full fledged militarized platform of administration and established emirates. This has been proven and shall be again. One must learn from this before simply saying 'Hmpf!' and sucking on that vape stick content in the knowledge that there is a soldier out there ensuring this never happens to them. Hatred. It takes adequate hatred. An overpowering compulsion to see scores of dead bodies of the young and old of those that endanger your young. To make it happen. Unless we have that we shall suffer from a proliferation of ISISes and commie outfits and militants and their lawfaring enablers until all is lost. The scales shall not always be evenly balanced, they will tip one day. The islamist is confident they will in his favour because he, his wife, his goddamn children and his ass... they're all invested in it. Are we? How many jihaders have you offed personally, dweller of the accursed deep?

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. - GaWd!

PS: 'Tis R'lyeh, dude. Cthulhu is imprisoned in R'lyeh, which is located somewhere in the baltic sea. Clever that.

#3 R'lyeh is in the Pacific, somewhere "north and east" of Australia. I read the damned books; Lovecraft never mentions the Baltics.

And let them hate, so long as they die.

#4 ^ I stand corrected. Charles Stross put it in the Baltic somewhere, Rob. A newer re-telling, not canon I agree. Yes, Howard placed it in the Pacific.
