Just curious...what has Trump done to defeat ISIS?

When he attacked the Syrian airport, which I think he did in collaboration with Putin, he had video of every rocket target, it seemed?

But what videos have we seen of his attacks on ISIS targets? I cannot remember even one?

I do recall Putin visiting Syria a couple of weeks ago and declaring victory for Russia over ISIS?

So, I'm wondering who has been fighting ISIS, Russia or the US?

And where is the video?

Other than that, coasting on what other people had already done, just what he's "done" for the economy.

They will reconstitute by Spring and be ready for their Fighting Season. Remember,Putin and Trump allowed 35 hundred of their seasoned fighters escape Ragga a few months ago. The Guardian News claims most of these people went to Afghanistan and Libya.

Putin got his Pipeline and Donnie two scoops got his Hotel.

Almost anyway. They are now confined to a tiny strip of land along the Iraq-Syria border. They used to control an area about the size of the state of Ohio. Only about 1000 left out of 45,000. There are many factors. How much can be attributed to Russia and how much to the U.S. can be debated. But what can't be debated is they are finished in that region.
