Wladimir Van Wilgenburg tweets: “US ask allies to contribute to security in northeast Syria. Not only they requested this from the Netherlands, also UK, Canada, Germany and Italy.”

It comes amid questions about how strong ISIS still is. Can it seize an urban center. Jeffrey was non-plussed perhaps, but Jennifer Cafarella is warning about ISIS strength. It led to an exchange between Cafarella and Joshua Landis on Twitter.

For those interesting in knowing more about my controversial characterization of ISIS’s strength, see my thread: https://t.co/7PTIRLGhoB

But please also note that I am actually disagreeing with Jeffrey on quite little overall, & Landis left out important statements from him https://t.co/Nyt79wHRzD
