ISIS 'poised to go broke in Iraq, Syria'
Report: Plunging income threatens 'state-building,' but terror likely to continue
Published: 1 day ago
 
ISIS is on the path to poverty, according to a new joint study, “Caliphate in Decline: An Estimate of Islamic State’s Financial Fortunes,” from the London-based International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Ernst & Young.

The terror group is apparently suffering from financial difficulties, to put it mildly. Facts and figures show that over the last two years, revenues for ISIS have fallen by more than 50 percent.

Still, study authors have concluded that it’s not yet time to breathe easy about the group’s dismantling.

They show desperation when they have to try to set off a car bomb and things like that.

...London-based International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Ernst & Young.

The CIA probably used entities like these, when they missed the breakup of the USSR, missed the rise of ISIS, etc.

ISIS will just need to nurse their Toyota pickups for another year. But they can do plenty of damage, until snuffed out entirely.

There is no sense of the slightest hint of civilization with ISIS, for as bad as Al Qaeda is, they are not the same kind of death cult. I don't know if we have ever had a group in the history of the world trying to show how they treat people with genocide.

All such repressive groups have kept what they did secret if possible.

So our Ambassador to the UN was right when she said they just needed a job.

I think they're thumping the tub for $15/hr.
