The war in Syria and Iraq has turned into a stalemate. Everyone fights for themselves, and neither US airstrikes, nor Assad's army efforts are able to deal with Islamic State. However, the jihadist group itself has lost its former power and cannot carry out massive offensive operations.

We ask a former counterinsurgency adviser to the Pentagon and US State Department strategist. David Kilcullen is on Sophie&Co today.
