npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) ISIS ceased to exist as a polity. It stopped inspiring terrorism around the world.
And re civilian deaths: very few died in the liberation from ISIS. The mass death in the Iraq War happened in 2003-07; US military analysts are in the process of rewriting history to pretend that era didn't happen and only benchmark the IDF to the 2010s campaign (its tolerance of civilian casualties is clearly higher than that of the US in the 2010s and lower than that of the US in the 2000s).
