Its terrible how the people on Syrian are being treated, I hope the situation stabilizes very soon. The use of Chemicals cannot and will not be tolerated by the rest of the world. Lets hope our governments take action against those responsible.

Whoever is responsible ..... and in general purposefully kills civilians and destroyes their property, deserves Russian treatment.

That's the one thing I can agree to.

Is Daesh all lost in Iraq and Syria?

I think they are in terms of territory controlled in Syria but I doubt they have been eradicated 100%, I am not sure about Iraq

In fact Washington announced that they were beaten in March (Syria) but Washington-backed SDF militants reported fighting in eastern Baghouz, the terrorist group's last pocket in the war-torn country.

This was March though so things may have changed

Daesh '100 percent' defeated in Syria – Trump

Daesh no longer holds any territory in Syria, US President Trump and White House announce despite Washington-backed SDF militants reporting fighting in eastern Baghouz, the terrorist group's last pocket in the war-torn country.
