I would attempt to ask for Chinese aid. My understanding is that China is not very happy with the whole affair.

hey its me ur brother boyfriend

What is the current economic situation of the Da'esh and how do you plan to restore (or create) a working economy in the areas currently occupied by them?

Is there any way to cripple Da'esh resources without also crippling the local civilian population?

Are the Da'esh generally well informed / aware of the global geopolitical relevance of the areas they occupy or are they mostly working on a smaller scale?

What's the most interesting story you've ever covered / the one you're the most proud of?

Thanks for the reply!

Some further questions:

Do you know where they manage to sell their oil and buy weapons?

Are the people that extract oil Da'esh or citizens that have been forced to work for them?

Thanks again for the answer and thank you for doing this AMA!

EDIT: A few other questions that popped in my head:

You mentioned the fact that the Da'esh are all over the internet. Do you think coordinating a terrorist organization at this level would've been possible without the internet?

As internet technology improves and becomes more widely available, do you fear that other groups will follow in Da'esh's footsteps? Are there any steps we should take to prevent this?
