Re: Just how would you defeat ISIS?
Use their own ideology against them, after all historically ideologies are proven to be poor armor.
1 Go for the head, to be named caliph one must comply with a series of requisites and there have the believe that they will only twelve(?) caliphs. Kill enough of them to disprove their claim. People can rationalize anything but this could give them pause.
2 Attack their incoming. The caliphate has the responsibility to comply with certain social duties like welfare and healthcare for everyone. If this responsibilities are not meet the caliph lose any legitimacy.
3 They want the apocalypse and it is easy to bring it to them. They are waiting for a mayor battle (one that they can refuse) at certain Syrian town. If a coalition brings troops there they are obliged to attack. They can be as much as 200,000 combatants but they lack any modern armament and heavy equipment.
