      Many, many groups and states are fighting ISIS, even the Western alliances. There are thousands of reasons to criticize the zionist regime, so please avoid coming over here and posting weird claims like suggesting only Hezbollah and Iran are combating ISIS - there’s no point in playing out the liberalist ‘good guy’/‘bad guy’ fantasy and ending up with american-level exceptionalism like this. Genocide is genocide, and Hezbollah and Iran are defending themselves against the expanding genocidal zionist regime.

      If you cannot argue accurately please don’t bother arguing at all.

      The bulk of CJTF-OIR’s combat operations have consisted of airstrikes against Islamic State; various ground forces have been deployed including special forces, artillery, training, and military advisors. The United States accounts for the vast majority of airstrikes (75–80%), with the remainder conducted by Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.[22] Although the task force is not under NATO, all 32 members of the military alliance are contributing to CJTF-OIR.[23]

      By the end of 2017, CJTF-OIR stated that its airstrikes had killed over 80,000 ISIL fighters.[24] The coalition also provided $3.5 billion in military equipment to the Iraqi Armed Forces,[25] billions more to the Peshmerga, and trained 189,000 Iraqi soldiers and police.[26] It has also provided significant support to the Syrian Democratic Forces, with which it coordinates various operations.[27]
