Original Note:
This contains a factual error, ISIS have not taken control of Syria. The Islamic State was destroyed in 2019 after the Battle of Baghuz. They exist now only in isolated pockets. They have never received funding from the USA. They were in fact destroyed by the SDF, a US ally https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/ten-years-ago-isis-seized-power-and-territory-whats-happened-since/ https://trendsresearch.org/insight/assessing-isiss-expansion-and-decline-in-2024/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/09/islamic-group-hts-that-toppled-assad-in-syria-may-be-taken-off-uk-terror-list
