Your post brings Japan and scrap metal to mind.

Not entirely sure I get your point.

Japan is a pretty good illustration of what I’m trying to say.

They had every intent of taking over the entirety of SE Asia and running it as the Japanese Empire.

As it turned out, their intentions and ambitions greatly exceeded their capabilities, and they were conquered.

To a far greater extent, Islamist ambitions and intentions also exceed their capabilities.

At the start of the war, the Japanese had the world’s most largest and most efficent carrier attack force. Today, only one of our potential enemies, Russia, has even a single carrier to put into action against our 11.

The actual military capabilities of the Islamists groups are laughable in comparison.
