Not sure what's going on there but I see Russian propaganda full of “We've already nearly destroyed ISIS !!!” and that's very doubtful, to put it mildly... 18 airstrikes, come on... Both the west and Russia are playing tricks on this issue. It will likely take many years before we know what really was going on there.

Yep, psy-ops is half the game on both sides.
Groups such as ISIS also very much work on ideological basis/foundation, which can’t be destroyed by bombs, no matter who drops the bombs on them.
So, don’t fuel the ideology in any way - socially, economically or through military aid and training, because any of them will only embolden them.
