Palmyra: Islamic State militants overrun ancient Syrian city as fears grow for pre-Islamic cultural treasures

lucky I saw it whilst it was it was still standing – in a few days the entire place will be turned into rubble

lets give ourselves a pat on the back

They are stupid really. By destroying the place they give the rest of the world an excuse to bomb the shyte out of the place. If they were smart, they’d hide all of their bases in such places intact as this would prevent the rest of the world from bombing historical sites.

my guesses are that ISIS will start strapping explosives to the temple they have there and level the area nimrud style after they’ve had some beheadings and torture etc.

the only thing that will stop them is a type of blitzkrieg operation

if they had destroyed the roads months ago ISIS wouldn’t even exist now but for the moment we’ll just allow all their weapons and oil to keep flowing that’s the main thing on the thin vulnerable transport routes that they so desperately need to keep their entire operation going.

the war against ISIS is yet again another classic example on how to waste lots of money and lose a war – again

ISIS cab only exist as long as the tarmac roads exist, its a cancer that need fragile transport routes to spread and prosper – how many oil trucks do you think will roll out of the country if the roads are ruined in targeted places?

exactly how is this oil leaving the country?

turkey is allowing its borders to get all this money, men and machines and oil in and out – I’d wager they were religiously affiliated with ISIS – its a problem having a NATO ally so deeply implicated with ISIS

There is no doubt it is happening. But your ideas are sometimes described as outlandish because they are not possible. Robot armies are not an option for the next defence budget, so when you say “all you need is an army of robots”, you are in the realms of fantasy.

imagine being
able to print an army in the field

you turn up with the raw ingredients then 3D print various vehicles as you need them – complete with electronics etc

you don’t need the vehicles sitting idle at a base consuming time money and effort in servicing them

the great thing about autonomous vehicles is that you don’t need to train tank crews or pay them superannuation and a whole host of financially draining stuff for a government that needs to put an army into the field

a robot army might still have an infantry, but they wouldn’t be walking around in battle ala star wars style – they’d be crawling, most likely having the rifle on their back or with a small machine gun for a head

water bombers could easily be turned into plain old bombers

it makes me wonder if you could 3D print anti tank missiles/ SAMs?

lasers and rail guns would have to make an appearance I suppose

modern aircraft might have a powerful laser on board to take on missiles and enemy fighter jets – I put it in something like concorde – big enough, fast enough to house something that could defend the aircraft

so you just create an armoured box on tracks that can deal with moving along in mud, you could put a machine gun or something on it, man that would give them a shock.

ok too whacky – so you create a gun that fires lots of shells very quickly – it sounds mad right? what use would that kind of weapon be when all armies move around on horseback – that’s unfeasible if you ask me

I doubt it – the proof is in the outcome

a few hours of any reasonable bombing would do immense damage to any logistics network

there would be bridges to Palmyra or elsewhere, knock them out

let everything be dragged through the unforgiving sand – I hope it doesn’t rain – that would bring everything to a screeching halt

ISIS are spread out over thousands of kilometers

military training of civilians takes time

ISIS have between 17000, 21000 zombies

Takes a bit of time when so many zombies are spread over thousands of kilometers

the my plan would be to

1 disable road networks in the isis heartland

2 disable road networks to stop the cancer spreading

3 cut the road networks from turkey to Syria by knocking out road systems – make big craters in the roads

4 cut power to any isis held city, if they are using generators – hit them

it could be argued that this would increase civilian suffering but the fact is this happens in war anyway – you are not directly blowing them up you are simply destroying the thing most beloved by their masters – the means to carry their war to the rest of the world.

the war would be over very quickly

yes but the zombies all need resupplying

the zombies need to sell oil to make money

no roads – no oil flows

theres probably a pipeline as well, shut the ends of the pipeline off and stop oil flowing where isis operates

Indeed the proof is in the outcome. If it was simple as “you just” it would have been done. Not only do you not say who “they” is “who just” you seem to have forgotten the lessons of desert warfare which is that the deserts are more akin to oceans, you can attack nodes but travel freely in all directions.

not my problem

the objective is to WIN the war – I’m sure the locals would start showing their displeasure at ISIS fairly quickly and if they decided to throw their hand in with them – more fool them

remember that ISIS are embedded amongst communities which makes it difficult to bomb them

Controlling the flow of traffic into a province means controlling access to it, as well as locals’ ability to leave. It also means connecting ISIS’s other infrastructure—including military bases and oil resources—across Syria and Iraq. “The desert is not necessarily significant” from ISIS’s perspective, Qaddour writes, “but the roads running through the desert are.”
http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/08/the-many-ways-to-map-the-islamic-state/379196/

the key to WINNING the war is by knocking out the road system to stop tankers and supply vehicles reaching ISIS bases OR slowing down that supply system

winning hearts and minds is over – we don’t need to win any hearts or minds only to knock out the logistics

we don’t need to train anyone

arm anyone

ask people to be our friends

give them money

etc

most importantly – we don’t need to kill them either by destroying their homes

cities absorb bombs its a waste of attacking them unless you have a few divisions of self propelled guns/ artillery knocking out stuff inside them or creating lanes into which your troops could enter ie you don’t try to fight house to house all the way through to make gains – just knock down lots of houses to allow your troops enfettered access straight into the city (if you are so inclined)

you’ll actually see the main roads next to turkey as being the lifeline of isis – cut them and the rest of the beast dies too

if you took the road network down between raqqa and Aleppo the whole thing would fall over

road number “4” near lake asaad would be a prime candidate

the road M4 heading into manbij would be excellent cut points especially knocking out the bridge across the Euphrates on the M4

road 42 could be knocked out too just north of ithrya

this cuts all major traffic east to support ISIS

once you’ve ruined those major routes the next operation would be against all roads, roads like the 214/ 216

What ISIS need is some sharp sticks shoved up their bums until they bleed to death. A deterrent for any young fool who wants to join thm. Stop their recruiting and they’ll wither and die off. Stuff the Geneva Convention.

you need a plan that will work, a methodical, cheap way to cut its materiel from getting too and from battle

instead of spending 500 million here to stop radicalisation just destroy ISIS where it stands

encourage the jihadists to go to Syria / Iraq from here – this is the best way to get rid of problems from here – just finish them off in the sands in Syria instead of allowing them to come back and sow their ideology

Al tabaq south of lake assad has a bridge crossing at the Euphrates

bomb it

from driving melbournes roads and seeing what they had done to the enemy in Melbourne I realised that the war in Syria would be won by simply allowing melbournes road planners to be let loose on the network – they would be gridlocked within days

An ISIS-financed construction crew builds roads in Syria on May 19.

I wonder why isis is so keen to make sure the roads are so well maintained – it must be their love for roads Shirley?

have a look at the map of isis control – can you see how ISIS feeds off the Turkish border

can you see how the main arterial routes come from one place and then extend to the east and south?

can you see how cutting the arterial flow to the south and east would deliver a knock out blow to the logistics of the operation?

take control of the roads , take control of isis

its a fragile entity because it cant survive without perhaps 5 major roads
