DB5 and Mag's AMA on ISIS/Iraq/Syria

As two of the people who know the most about this situation here, we have decided to do an AMA to set some people on straight on what they think they know. From threads where people say the cartels could beat them, to comparing them to Hitlers decision to invade the Soviet Union, to people thinking they will attack the homeland in two weeks, there is a lot of misinformation roaming around these parts. We would like to answer any questions you have about ISIS, the crisis in Iraq or the war in Syria or anything related to these topics at hand. So ask us anything

                Tonight at 9 everyone -- we hear whether Obama has come up with a gameplan or not. I'd suggest viewing the broadcast if you're interested at all in the ongoing crisis.

                • I keep hearing and seeing posts of possible ISIS threats near Mexico and Texas? Are these credible or just fake internet click bait. Also how exactly did Isis come about and why?

                        • I actually read this article yesterday and thought it was fairly interesting. It highlights why ISIS may not be as powerful as the media has portrayed it.

                          • I'm asking this on behalf of a quasi isolationist friend with whom I am arguing: Does ISIS pose an imminent threat to the US? And if not, why should we conduct military action against them?

                                • What do you expect Obama to say on Wednesday? How likely is the formation of a coalition of regional states, such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey to take the fight to ISIL? If this is going to be a protracted campaign, should not Obama seek Congressional authorization?

                                  • We will attack you america! we have more guns in virginia and the rednecks to -blam!- shit up than your whole army. But i hear they are well organized compared to most groups, and the caliphate has actually been successful in restoring everyday life in well controlled areas. Going to be hard to root them out.

                                          What is the goal of Isis?/Nvm I should read all the other questions first. xD How does the goal of a world wide caliphate relate to their actual strategy? Surely they know they are on the path to destruction. What actual tangible goals can they reach and do they strive for? And what will their destruction accomplish for them and their goal?
