BEIRUT — Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called caliphate, the Islamic State group has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay utility bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing detainees for a price of $500 a person.

The extremists who once bragged about minting their own currency are having a hard time meeting expenses, thanks to coalition airstrikes and other measures that have drained millions from their finances since last fall. Having built up loyalty among militants with good salaries and honeymoon and baby bonuses, the group has stopped providing even the smaller perks: free energy drinks and Snickers bars.

Necessities are dwindling in its urban centers, leading to shortages and widespread inflation, according to exiles and those still suffering under its rule. Interviews gathered over several weeks included three exiles with networks of family and acquaintances still in the group’s stronghold in Raqqa, residents in Mosul, and analysts who say IS is turning to alternative funding streams, including in Libya.

In Raqqa, the group’s stronghold in Syria, salaries have been halved since December, electricity is rationed, and prices for basics are spiraling out of reach, according to people exiled from the city.

It took the Russians only a few weeks of bombing oil refineries and tanker convoys to bring ISIS to it's knees.

There's a reason the White House and Erdogan all wanted a cease fire recently. ISIS is the biggest threat to Assad, which they view as more important than stopping ISIS.

12,000 Oil Tankers at the Syrian-Turkish border, and Erodgan has "No Clue"? BULLSHIT.

This is what happens when you have a METAL President, not an MBA in Administration or Community Organizer.

Putin's presidency is his audition for the next Bond villain. He's just a want-a-be actor with a brilliant viral self-marketing idea. Become the president of Russia, cause Hollywood loves Russian bad guys, and play the role you want in real life. Then you're assured a movie deal.

In this country, first you get the presidency, then you get the movie deal, then you get the women.

This would be over by now, had Obama done what Trump told him to do sooner.
But of course our elitist LIberals fuckwads running this country into the ground, would eat a booger dipped in Ebola puss before they would ever listen to reason from anyone who believes in Jesus.

Someone should take away from ISIS their internet, facebook and iPhones. That would really bring them to their knees.

In fairness, Kasich and Lindsfag Graham would have been just as big of a Saudi-Turkish Asslicker.

I concede. Putin is the man.

The Italian in me must pay respect to a guy who gets that no matter how big of an asshole he is. I mean, that's how people in Italy elect their presidents. ... by their Bunga Bunga parties.

Perhaps a Go Fund Me site or perhaps a telethon. We just need $1,000 more for the triple beheading. For the jihad, pick up the phone now!

While that may be sarcasm, me thinks if they start a reality TV pay per view they will make millions.

This explains why Saudi Arabia has a 350,000 man army poised to invade Syria, and has given Russia until tomorrow to cease hostilities.
Their cat's paw ISIS is failing, giving them no more hope of ousting Assad by that means. So they say (and Turkey says) they will invade Syria and crush ISIS (and oust Assad while they're at it, because they love him so). Meanwhile any such act would fall outside the NATO treaty for Turkey, leaving it vulnerable to the might of Russia unprotected by any allies. So although it dearly wants to invade Syria and annex it, its leaders stay their hand in fear. Russia would kick their asses and they know it, and Putin has got the balls to do it and annex Turkey!
Saudi has put itself in a position where it has to win in Syria . . . and this is concerning because such an army isn't ever really assembled and NOT used . . . so chances are they will invade shortly. Russia may then declare war, putting the USA in the position of having two Mideast "friends" under attack from the other world superpower. Obama, thankfully, has no balls and won't declare a disastrous war on Russia. Instead he will up the rhetoric against Russia and call for a new Cold War against that big Cossack meanie!
Putin will be involved with killing a lot of Muslims, and I hope he gets around to nuking Mecca.

I don't think Russia could invade Turkey easily. Turkey has a large army, modern weapons and mountainous terrain where guerrilla is hard to fight.
Russia's force in Syria itself is probably not strong enough to withstand a full Arab+Turkey assault.

Isn't it amazing how CUCK our Elites are to Saudi Arabia. Jesus Christ, they prefer ISIS to Assad!

Sadly you're right. If the VDV was deployed had full supply, they and the Syrian Army could smash the Saudis, even if it had lots of Armor. But not the Turks and certainly not the Turks and Saudis together with 500,000+

17   Heraclitusstudent   2016 Feb 18, 4:59pm  

Then there is Iran... would they sit on their hands and watch if Arabs attacked? I don't think so.
I think Russians would just back Iran and come in that way.

Obama on the other hand would likely sit and watch.
Bush and Obama must be so proud: get Muslims to kill each other without having to jump in.

Russia did just deploy a naval unit with nuclear tipped missiles to the Mediterranean.

Where exactly do they post job openings? I'd love to read one of their job ads.

The Islamic state is liberal? Holy shit, that's the dumbest thing ever posted on PatNet.

Middle Eastern Islam, especially fundamentalists like ISIS, are the very definition of conservative and the polar opposite of everything liberal.

It's dumb-founding how conservatives try to rebrand their own ideologies as liberalism in order to attack liberalism. It's like the KKK trying to argue that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a bad person who lynched black people and promoted segregation. It's like the Nazi's accusing Holocaust victims of being anti-Semitic. It's like Justin Bieber accusing John Lennon of being a pretentious, no talent, manufactured pop act. It's like CIC accusing anyone else of being gay. It's like Miley Cyrus accusing a woman of dressing slutty and inappropriately using heavy construction equipment.

Alina Kabaeva is 32-years-old. That's eight years too old.

On the other hand http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/02/saudi-arabia-collapse/463212/ will also leave a power vacuum just like when we 'regime changed' Saddam Hussein. What nightmare will follow?

You should learn the rules. If she looks 20, she's damn near 30. If she looks 26, she's barely 14.

President Barack Obama's confused strategy in Syria means towns are now being fought over by different US-backed groups

I'm sure that in no way will sow resentment that creates terrorism.

Makeup

Women under 18 try to look as old as possible. Women over 18 try to look as young as possible.

Answer: That there are twenty of them.

Because the other 20 out of 50 got away.

What a degenerate!!

Ah the hypocrisy of CIC who poorly writes jokes about others fucking kids but can't take it when someone more creative schools him in humor.

CIC's daughter had just gotten her drivers license and wanted to take the car out on the town Friday night so she asks her father. CIC replies, "Well, if you give me a blowjob I suppose I’d let you." She's so desperate that she agrees. CIC pulls down his pants, and his daughter begins the job. Suddenly she pulls her face away and says, "Yuk, Daddy! Your dick tastes like shit!" He thinks for a moment and says, "Hmmm, that reminds me, your brother has the car this Friday."

Keep posting, you're proving my point every time you touch the keyboard.

Every time you touch the keyboard, your hands get sticky.

CIC is awfully defensive about pedophilia. I think I struck a nerve.

CIC rates his lovers on a scale of 1 to 10, also known as their age.
