The Russians should be concerned ISIS is a far better cause than Ukraine and a real danger -- when will Putin pull his head out of his ass? This is why these ISIS Jihadists are operating more as a militia and not as common criminal terrorists.
True ISIS is more sophisticated than common terrorists: their governing authority, taxation and the like, the seizure of oil, power and water assets shows planning.
These same things will also make ISIS a static target. These US airstrikes seem to be blowing up light armored targets. What are we waiting for, ISIS to create tank columns and SAM missiles to deal with? As a standing army they are weak now -- they are a rag-tag Jihadist Army.
So, the Egyptian and Qatari airstrike efforts haven't done much good in Tripoli apparently.
There are 3 borders; Turkey, Israel and Iran, where ISIS can be contained and eliminated. They will breach none of these borders because there are real armies on the other side. If ISIS has any strategy they will head south to Mecca

I'm not parroting cnn or any other news site. I don't even watch news on TV. When I decided to learn about ISS I searched out various sources. They stem from Iraq as I said but yes they have many nationalities fighting for them. I'm sure there are many Chechens among them as there are many radical Muslims there.
