Why don't these people understand? The only way to defeat the ISIS is through a ground operation. Air strikes are useless against the ISIS, given the fact that they control hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of territory in both Syria and Iraq. If the French don't want to send in their army, then they can support the Kurds, who are currently waging a ground offensive against the ISIS.

France definitely wouldn't want to get into ground operations, especially after what happened to the US in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They have just taken the easy way out.
If I am not mistaken, they are already actively supporting the Kurds, through the supply of weapons.

France was on the ground in Afghanistan.

So is France just doing the bidding of America now? I wonder how many civilians will be hit by those.

If every country that bombs the IS results in a new thread, then soon this section will soon only be about it.

And IS still will keep growing

With supporting Kurds they will be against Turks who send their air strikes on them ( as I remember corectly they had more then 900 attacks on Kurd teritory, and just 3 on ISIS). Putin said thet USA initiative is illegal and he will support Asad like legit president of Syria, he sending army and weapons.

So the problems that ISIS has created has succeeded in provoking a major power.
