Summary: On March 8th, an important ISIS controlled airbase 45 kilometres from the ISIS capitol was captured. It was taken by Syrian Kurdish forces backed by air and ground support from the US. The base was originally captured by ISIS forces in 2014, who then killed 200 government soldiers at the base. ISIS reported that due to US airstrikes the damn near the capital city Raqqa was structurally unsound. US lead coalition forces stated the damn was stable.
My Opinion: This is a good thing in the long run. It means that we are closer to finally defeating ISIS. Kurdish forces are very close to the ISIS capital meaning that in the future vital ISIS territory could be taken.
