This should not be taken lightly. ISIS returning to the same areas its progenitors since 2003 wreaked havoc in (Anbar, Kirkuk, Salahuddin, Diyala) shows its influence, recruitment efforts & TTPs stand the test of time, with previously unexpected adaptability & maneuverability. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a powerful message here: the place of the group’s inception & growth, the place of the coalition’s central focus, the place where billions have been spent, w/ all the forces, militias, & local mobilization, is also the place of ISIS influence, vehemence & durability. — PolitiTweet.org

A third & most important part is the resurgence of activities in the group’s center of gravity, #Iraq. Over the past year, Iraq faced the highest percentage of ISIS attacks (& casualties) across all of the group’s operational territories. This is seen as a huge sign of strength. — PolitiTweet.org

Another part is that its support base sees a major improvement in global expansion w/ networks in Mozambique, Congo, Burkina Faso & Mali, & ops against forces of Chad, Cameroon, Niger & others, while maintaining discernible presence in Philippines, Afghanistan, Nigeria & others. — PolitiTweet.org

A big part of the “sticky” factor is the belief in the group’s potential for a “comeback.” This has been a consistent message in its propaganda and its supporters’ belief system: the current tribulations are temporary & part of God’s plan to distinguish the good from the bad. — PolitiTweet.org

What’s remained consistent throughout is the global support base. Even with a significantly noticeable decrease in media output and semi-absence of public leadership directives, the group’s support base remains highly dedicated. — PolitiTweet.org

...returning to comfort zones in #Iraq while further globalizing with new operational territories in West & Central Africa, localizing conflicts, and maintaining an image of strength despite loss of most territorial control. — PolitiTweet.org

The evolution of #ISIS since 2013 until the present day. Started with focus on territorial expansion and ground control, exporting its approach beyond #MENA, decentralizing terrorism via inspired attacks, resorting to guerrilla attacks and hit-and-runs... — PolitiTweet.org

If confirmed, the #ISIS purported attack on an army post in Wur Mamund (Bajaur Agency) in #Pakistan is a step up from the last several attacks that focused on killing singular alleged army/intel personnel. This new op is brazen and denotes a renewed willingness to up the ante. — PolitiTweet.org

Insightful stats. The healthcare and education sectors are the second most targeted by #ransomware after the government sector. Whether this means that these sectors have weaker security measures or whether they are more guaranteed to pay up is a good question to ask. — PolitiTweet.org

@stick631 Sure, not new. But the continuous exploitation of social media -- and the ever expanding speed at which platforms can reach billions around the world -- is additionally problematic. Indeed, not just white supremacists; they just happen to fly under the radar easier than others. — PolitiTweet.org
