What happens when ISIS retreats? Entire town rigged with explosives and destroyed. War is Boring.

The devastation in Talesskef. -War is Boring

When ISIS retreated from the Christian village of Talesskef, they rigged the town with explosives and destroyed most of it. -War is Boring. Militants attempted to destroy almost all of the buildings in Talesskef but were unable to set off all of the explosives. Some residents have returned to sift through the rubble along with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, but most are too afraid of ISIS to return. The Peshmerga fighters, made up of Yezidi, Christians and Muslims, are eager to continue the fight but want more heavy weapons.

My Comment:
An excellent report from War is Boring. There are also some fairly impressive photos in the post. Read it all, it's not very long. 

Add this to the long list of crimes ISIS has committed in its war against humanity. This wanton destruction serves no purpose other then spite and hate. It seems that even if we defeat ISIS many of the people they have displaced will have no homes to go back too. So how do we defeat them? The Peshmerga have the right idea. They have Christians, Muslims and Yezidi all working together to fight a common enemy. The rest of the region, and indeed the world, need to do the same thing. ISIS is everyone's enemy.
