Ok,so what's your plan genius ? Send troops ? As if you haven't already done that.
AND even struggling to capture some villages with lot of Shia fighters,syrian soldiers and massive Russian air support.
I want to know your plan genius.
You didn't ask me, but I will give you my game plan.
1) Funding,
Put in heavy pressure on the USA & GCC to prevent any money flowing into the opposition in Syria. Do not make distinction between the groups when it comes to funding & arming, because even if they had the best intentions (which they don't) and the groups were actually really moderate (which they aren't), putting more arms & funds into small groups just means more possibility of it shifting towards ISIS, directly by member betrayal or indirectly by loot from battle losses.
Also, do not tolerate any excuses from GCC when they claim the funding are private funding and can't be controlled.
2) Logistics,
Gather your NATO buddies and make a surprise visit to Erdogan. Insist firmly that he needs to do much more to control his borders to clamp down both on any human movements and any black market business that might be benefitting ISIS.
3) Political Solution,
Stop being a stubborn *** and realize that the path the GCC+NATO has being pushing Syria on isn't bearing any fruit. No need to apologize or show any remorse, just quietly push for Assad to remain in place for now, and ask for an election process with international observers. Any country or opposition that shouts "Assad should go BEFORE we talk" needs to be condemned by France loudly and clearly, so they stop putting obstacles to talks.
4) Remove lips form Israel & GCC *** for one sec,
And actually work with Russia, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Iran, to remove ISIS once and for all. Throwing missles with "From French with Love" is a great PR tool for your citizens, but absolutely useless in the long run.
5) Promise Not to Do it Again,
Finally, promise not to finger any more middle eastern countries in the future and use your position in NATO to insist that constantly destabilizing any country you guys don't like doesn't help anymore. Gadaffi is a shit head? You don't like Assad? Fine, don't visit their countries, don't invite them for lunch, and close down your embassies. But don't go there and bomb them just because they piss you off.
