ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[CrossLOPER]

Like I pointed out in the post right above yours, it benefits IS if they take the territory instead of Assad.

And once IS has taken the territory, Putin, Eternal President of Russia, dies of a heart attack. Russia is afflicted with great apathy at the loss of their great leader and pulls out of Syria. IS, the only remaining rebel group in Syria, conquers the rest of Syria and now has a proper caliphate. Everyone lived happily ever after.

In an alternative universe, US-backed rebels are victorious, and the new regime totally does not end up like Egypt or Libya, and for once things end up working out like someone's hallucinatory delusion.

This is fun. We should do this more often.
