Looking at photographs of the ruined, desolate streets of what was once ISIS’s capital of Raqqa is a reminder of the overwhelming, pitilessly effective military power of the United States.

Perhaps it’s a tribute to the inevitable nature of American force, once it’s engaged, that the fall of Raqqa in Syria this week provoked so little public discussion. http://ift.tt/1p5TKH4 https://aawsat.com
