We’ve all heard about ISIS; the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. We’ve all heard about what ISIS has done; their executions and acts of terrorism against other countries. We’ve all heard what they plan to do in the future.

Just after the Paris attacks that happened a few weeks ago, ISIS said they had operators in 15 specific states in the U.S and are ready to attack when given the orders; others are saying that this information is false.

Of course, there have been multiple cases of people in the United States claiming that they support ISIS. The question is: should we really be worried about ISIS? What if they aren’t in America and their words were just an idle threat?

I’m not doubting the possibility that ISIS is in America at all. After all, many people of different ethnicities have been killed by members of ISIS. There is a very high chance that ISIS will kill again.

In all honesty, I don’t think that ISIS would last for a long time. In fact, al-Qaeda, ISIS’s predecessor, was shut down in a single night by an elite U.S military team; that evidence proves that ISIS can be shut down in a similar way. A method that I’ve noticed from ISIS is that they strike where a country is most vulnerable and where everyone is least expecting, such as Paris, France. In a full-on firefight against an organized military force, ISIS probably wouldn’t last too long. With all the countries that ISIS has attacked, they’d be beaten by the sheer number of the number of infantry deployed from different nations.

Unless they’re planning for a big attack I believe that the organization would already have attacked people in the U.S. Compared to another nation such as North Korea, I don’t think ISIS wouldn’t cause too much destruction much. Just a few months ago, North Korea even made a threat that they would nuke the U.S, a fate that would cause even more deaths than terrorism alone.

Don’t get me wrong; ISIS is still a big threat. A threat big enough so that everyone in third, second and sometimes even first world countries that everyone should be worried about. With ISIS, you’d never know what to expect from them.
