Around the 22:30 mark of the episode, host David Yontef directly asked Burke, who won season seven of the show with her partner Derek Hough and hosted the show from 2010 to 2013, what she thinks about the "criticism" Banks receives as the new host. "She's a diva and everybody knows she's a diva. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm not saying anything bad about her. Be a diva. It's not the place to be a diva," Burke replied honestly."Your pros are the diva, your winner, your perfect 10-score dancer who's never done it, that defines diva in the ballroom," she added, explaining where she believes attention should be focused. <div type="image" title="Nick Jonas and Brooke Burke." height="2593" width="3458" msid="90866625" hostid="261"></div>Burke emphasized that the contestants on the show should be treated like the divas, adding that live shows are "tough" and "a struggle behind the scenes." Every "DWTS" season, a group of celebrities train with a professional ballroom dancer and perform the dances they've learned in front of a live studio audience. The journey is often an emotional experience for the stars, who in the past have even <a href="https://www.insider.com/dancing-with-the-stars-christie-brinkley-dancing-with-the-stars-2019-9">suffered injuries</a>. Burke said she thinks the show's decision to let go of former longtime hosts, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, who hosted the show for 28 seasons and 11 seasons respectively, "wasn't embraced" by the public. Banks began hosting the show in 2020 for season 29.<div type="image" title="Tyra Banks wearing a blazer and mini skirt." height="1060" width="1414" msid="90866627" hostid="261"></div>Burke called Banks' appointment a "tough transition," noting that the "show requires a lot of compassion and loving-kindness, especially as the host.""You're not the star as a host.

Banks has received a lot of criticism while hosting "DWTS" from announcing the wrong bottom two couples during a results show to her outfit choices.In season 28, she <a href="https://etcanada.com/news/814015/tyra-banks-addresses-last-seasons-dancing-with-the-stars-screwup-it-wasnt-me/">mistakenly said live on air</a> the wrong bottom two couples. She later called the correct pair back to the stage and apologized for the mistake.According to <a href="https://etcanada.com/news/814015/tyra-banks-addresses-last-seasons-dancing-with-the-stars-screwup-it-wasnt-me/">Entertainment Tonight</a>, when asked about the mistake at a Television Critics Association press tour last year, Banks said, "I was blamed for it, and it wasn't me. And I think that's very important to say.""So the world is angry at the talent. But there's a whole control room and things happening and craziness going on, and I'm fed certain things, say certain things that I'm told. But it is what it is," she continued. "We are a team. And sometimes you have to take darts for the team, and I took them. And will continue to take them."In this past season of "DWTS," <a href="https://www.insider.com/dancing-with-the-stars-host-tyra-banks-viral-dress-2021-10">Banks' was also criticized for wearing a burgundy bowtie pasta dress</a> that later went viral.

Erin Andrews Hired As New Host Of 'Dancing With The Stars' After Brooke Burke Fired

Work from home is crushing Midwestern downtownsYou may have heard that America's cities are in trouble. From the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/remote-work-from-home-cities-office-apocalypse-urban-doom-loop-2023-3">death of downtowns</a>" to the "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/30/opinion/covid-pandemic-cities-future.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urban doom loop</a>," the plight of America's superstar metros — and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/remote-work-gutted-city-downtowns-office-real-estate-apocalypse-2022-12">their central business districts in particular</a> — have been a frequent source of concern for <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/research/breaking-the-urban-doom-loop-the-future-of-downtowns-is-shared-prosperity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">economists</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/forcing-people-back-to-office-in-person-work-save-cities-2022-3">politicians</a>, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/19/downtowns-cities-how-to-revive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commentators</a>. Most of the concern has been focused on coastal cities like San Francisco and Seattle, which have seen the usual stream of commuters shrink to a trickle due to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/work-from-home-return-to-office-sexism-women-bosses-employees-2023-4">remote work's</a> hold on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fight-return-to-office-mandates-remote-work-amazon-apple-2023-3">the white-collar workforce</a>. But Midwestern cities are also facing a crisis of their own — struggling to attract workers, residents, and visitors to their downtowns. And while many coastal metros experienced a "golden age" in the decade before the pandemic, cities in America's heartland have been struggling since well before COVID came around.In order to pull out of their tailspin, economists and urban planners say many Midwestern cities need to get serious about improving amenities and boosting quality of life in their downtowns. Instead of being places where people are forced to go to work, leaders need to make their center cities into a destination that people actually want to visit."What I really think it comes down to in these places is that there's nothing special about any of the downtowns in any of these cities that would be attractive to new residents," Michael Hicks, a professor of economics and business research at Ball State University in Indiana, told Insider. "The cities just don't have the fundamental amenities that would attract people." <h2>Hollowed out</h2>A good way to gauge just how much trouble Midwestern cities are in is to take a look at how many people their downtowns are actually attracting. Standing in the middle of the city square and counting people can be a bit tough though, so <a href="http://downtownrecovery.com/death_of_downtown_policy_brief.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">researchers at the University of Toronto</a> have been analyzing <a href="http://downtownrecovery.com/dashboards/recovery_ranking.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anonymized cellphone data</a> for the past few years to track the number of people physically present in central business districts each day. The granular, individual-level data provides a fuller picture of downtown vitality — both before and after the pandemic — than other measures such as office vacancy rates and mass-transit ridership. The conclusion the study draws for the heartland is bleak. Five of the bottom 10 cities in the tracker's most recent data, which measured the period from December 2022 to March 2023, were in the Midwest: St. Louis, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Cleveland, and Kansas City, Missouri. Nine of the 13 Midwestern cities tracked in the study were in the bottom half of the rankings.Other indicators of central business district health — from office workers to vacant real-estate space — are similarly stark for many of these cities. Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, recently said he expects his city's downtown workforce will <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/downtown-minneapolis-empty-office-buildings-housing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">max out at about 75%</a> of its pre-pandemic numbers, and a recent study showed that <a href="https://rejournals.com/workers-come-back-report-cites-more-than-21-million-square-feet-of-vacant-office-space-in-twin-cities-market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">21.2 million square feet of office space</a> in the city is sitting vacant. In April, Salesforce announced it would <a href="https://www.ibj.com/articles/salesforce-giving-up-25-of-its-space-at-iconic-downtown-tower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">give up one-quarter of its office space</a> in the Indianapolis Salesforce Tower, Indiana's tallest building. The Midwest as a whole has also struggled to attract new residents and hold onto its existing residents in recent years. Between April 2020 and July 2022, the region saw a net decline of <a href="https://csgmidwest.org/2023/01/27/midwest-lost-more-than-400000-people-to-other-u-s-regions-between-2020-and-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 400,000 residents</a>. And things could get even worse for downtowns if they fall into the so-called "urban doom loop." Commercial property taxes make up a large chunk of many city budgets, so as office vacancies rise, the decreased revenue could force leaders to curtail municipal services or make cuts to key programs. Declining services and quality of life in turn pushes residents out, leading to a self-reinforcing exodus. Without serious changes, these midsize cities in the middle of the country could be quietly sliding into oblivion."The writing on the wall is not great," Karen Chapple, the director of the School of Cities at the University of Toronto and the author of the downtown recovery study, told Insider.<h2>'The collapse of the Midwest'</h2>The original sin that led to the Midwest's current predicament can be traced back to boneheaded choices made 70 years ago. In the early part of the 20th century, Midwestern cities boomed — attracting workers and families seeking out manufacturing jobs and education. Downtowns were bustling places for shopping, living, and working. That all changed in the 1950s. Many Midwestern cities relied on a single industry or even a single company to buttress its economy. Cleveland had the steel industry, Detroit was built by autos, and Akron was home to tire manufacturers. So in order to keep businesses from leaving town, leaders began to single-mindedly focus on attracting businesses — even if it meant making peoples' lives harder."For the second half of the 20th century, most Midwestern cities really focused on bending over backwards to accommodate businesses," Hicks said. "They bulldozed neighborhoods, they did eminent domain for all kinds of highways to get the products moved from factory to customer more quickly. And they neglected the fundamentals that people have liked about cities for 3,000 years, which is you can meet with people, you can walk to a place to eat, it's safe." <div type="image" title="St. Paul, Minnesota: A man walks across the street in an almost empty downtown due to the coronavirus lockdown." height="640" width="1280" msid="101189774" hostid="261"></div>This urban transformation turned Midwestern downtowns into "nothing but skyscrapers and highways," Amanda Weinstein, a professor of economics at the University of Akron, told me. "The thought was, cities are just for jobs and that's all they really are." After years of being ignored, workers' community ties began to fray and they started to look for greener pastures. Many <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/05/20/house-map-changes-geographical-pattern-shaping-american-life-remains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rust Belt residents left for the Sun Belt</a>, Weinstein said, which promised affordability and a higher quality of life. Even those central-city residents who weren't lured by warmer locales eventually migrated out of the city <a href="https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/11/30/you-cant-understand-the-rust-belt-without-understanding-its-suburbanization" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to leafier surrounding suburbs</a>."The collapse of the Midwest is really the story of, 'As soon as the job went away, I got the hell out of this shitty town,'" Hicks said. Given this long history of out-migration and neglect, it's not surprising that Midwestern downtowns that were struggling before the pandemic are having an even harder time now, Tracy Hadden Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies downtowns and urban real estate, told me."The pandemic is a huge disruption that has produced some real paradigm shifts, but the vast majority of what it's done is just drastically accelerate existing trends," she said.<h2>'A people problem, not a business problem' </h2>If Midwestern cities have any hope of reversing this downward spiral, experts told me, then leaders will need to prioritize people over business. If a diverse set of people live in or frequent downtowns, they'll attract a variety of employers and build a foundation that can weather shocks to the system, such as a pandemic or the death of an industry. "What we're seeing increasingly is that jobs are following people and where people want to be," Weinstein said. "We have to compete to get the talent that business needs."In order to draw in new residents, Hicks told me, there are two big things that need to be addressed: adequate housing and services. Downtowns should create an environment that attracts people, and that will in turn draw in employers and boost the economy. Hicks and Weinstein wrote in <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2022/01/26/improving-quality-of-life-not-just-business-is-the-best-path-to-midwestern-rejuvenation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Brookings Institution report</a> that the Midwest's history of embracing loose regulations and tax incentives for businesses have hurt the provision of services that would attract people to live in downtowns."I don't think there's a commercial fix to this for cities," Hicks said. "It's a people problem, not a business problem."Quality of life is largely determined by the services and amenities available in a community. These include schools, safe public spaces, libraries, playgrounds, transportation and relatively short commute times, and restaurants and retail. Midwestern cities have largely failed to invest in these kinds of amenities, leaving their downtowns devoid of anything but office space and industrial parks. To bring in new residents and visitors rather than just workers, they need these attractions."If office workers are coming downtown less, but college students are willing to come downtown more, what about literally putting a college in your downtown?" Hadden Loh said. "This is something that cities are increasingly looking at." She pointed to Phoenix as an example. Over the past couple of decades, the city has made major investments in revitalizing its core, including a new downtown campus for Arizona State University.Even in situations where Midwestern cities have preexisting natural amenities — like mountains or lakes — that lend themselves to redevelopment, they've failed to capitalize on those advantages. Take downtown Cleveland, where Weinstein said the city has allowed its natural waterfront along Lake Erie to be "forgotten." Despite its potential, the waterfront isn't walkable and offers little by way of restaurants or attractions. And given the city's long history of prioritizing industry, residents are concerned about the lake's water quality. "The number of restaurants we have that overlook the lake I can count on one hand," she said. In an effort to give the area a face-lift, the city is currently considering <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/03/should-clevelands-burke-lakefront-airport-be-closed-local-leaders-are-starting-to-discuss-the-possibility.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potentially closing Burke Lakefront Airport</a>, a city-owned, 450-acre regional airport situated on prime waterfront real estate. The airport largely serves private business and medical flights and has recently seen <a href="https://www.clevescene.com/news/cleveland-conducting-second-study-to-gauge-future-of-burke-lakefront-airport-41859482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">its traffic plummet</a>. Closing the airport and redeveloping the waterfront into an amenity-rich area with a mix of housing and commercial space would be a "big game changer" for Cleveland, Weinstein said.Housing is also a crucial piece of a thriving downtown. Cities need to attract residents, not just tourists and workers. Downtown areas might need to be rezoned to allow developers to come in and build housing. And cities that are struggling to attract workers back downtown might have an easier time attracting residents in a hot housing market. Some Midwestern cities have already begun incentivizing pricey conversions of office space to residential property. Offering those two elements in tandem — higher-quality services and a larger stock of housing — can reverse the "doom loop" and instead create a positive feedback loop. "Oftentimes, the best way to improve your housing stock is to focus on making sure you have good clean parks, you've got high-quality public safety and services," Hicks said.Midwestern downtowns need to get away from the nine-to-five office district of the past and embrace a diverse, multiuse, high-amenity model. "In the long term, I think what we're learning from the places that have bounced back is that you just want to make sure that you have diverse, 24/7 downtowns, and we kind of give up this idea of the downtown office district as being something that is a relic of the early 20th century," Chapple said. "We're in a different world now."<div type="image" title="The Kansas City, Missouri skyline." height="640" width="1280" msid="101189776" hostid="261"></div><h2>A vision for the future</h2>It's not all doom and gloom in the Midwest. As downtowns have struggled, many of the suburbs surrounding Midwestern cities have long been thriving. Both Weinstein and Hicks say this is because they've focused on livability: creating safe, walkable neighborhoods with green spaces and strong school systems. "The suburbs have it figured out," Weinstein said. "I've heard people kind of pejoratively say, like, 'Oh, the suburbs just do so well because they cater to families.' And I'm like, yes. You just found your perfect economic development strategy: cater to families, cater to residents."The pandemic exacerbated this pull to the suburbs. Hicks said the typical household that moved out of places like downtown Indianapolis or Chicago was a 26-year-old married couple without kids. "They want to get a dog, they want to start a family, and so they said, 'Well, you know, mortgage rates are really low. Let's just get the hell out of this apartment,'" he said.If Midwestern cities want their downtowns to survive, then the center cities may need to become more like the suburbs that have bled them dry. One place that has figured out this equation is the city of Columbus. While Ohio is losing residents, Columbus has <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2022/11/15/columbus-outpacing-ohio-population-growth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grown over the past two decades</a> and the <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2023/04/07/franklin-county-pandemic-population-dip-rebound" target="_blank" rel="noopener">metro area</a> even gained residents <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/05/27/columbus-top-us-cities-population-rise-residents-covid-pandemic/9943794002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during the height of the pandemic</a>. And unlike so many other Midwestern cities, the University of Toronto study found that more people are now visiting Columbus' downtown than in 2019. The reasons for the city's success come down to the quality of life it delivers. The Columbus city government invested heavily in amenities, ranging from a strong school system to a walkable downtown with plentiful restaurants and bars and even <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2023/02/28/arenadistrict-outdoor-drinking-zone-columbus-grows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an outdoor drinking zone</a>. Housing is relatively affordable, commute times are short, and the city's public schools are strong. The city's also full of students — it's home to dozens of schools including the Ohio State University's flagship campus. And Columbus isn't resting on its laurels. Last fall, the city rolled out <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2022/08/08/revitalize-downtown-columbus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a strategic plan</a> for its downtown, which includes investing in public transit, removing parking lots, and building bike and pedestrian infrastructure to attract new residents and tourists.The high concentration of college-educated workers has attracted a diverse set of high-paying jobs and made the city <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/01/columbus-ohio-is-quickly-becoming-the-midwests-tech-hub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a hub</a> for tech companies and startups. The chip-manufacturing giant Intel broke ground last year on a massive complex 20 minutes outside Columbus' downtown that will house at least two semiconductor factories. The company's leadership cited the city's abundant, diverse talent pool as a major reason why it chose the Ohio capital for <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/21/intel-plans-20-billion-chip-manufacturing-site-in-ohio.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">its $100 billion investment</a>."It's also around schools and has a population of folks that are very tied to the Midwest," Intel's executive vice president, Keyvan Esfarjani, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/01/how-intel-landed-in-columbus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told TechCrunch last year</a>. "They want to be there, they want to solve problems."Companies' "models are telling them this is where college-educated people are moving," Hicks said, so these corporations are starting to chase that workforce to places like Columbus. "They went there because the people are there, which is the big economic-development lesson." Columbus' experience shows a path forward for the region: If the people come, the rest will follow.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/eliza-relman">Eliza Relman</a> is a policy correspondent focused on housing, transportation, and infrastructure on Insider's economy team.

China previously tested missiles like these against mock-ups of US aircraft carriers, and has designed them to out range and overwhelm the ships.China fiercely censors any speech that clashes with the Communist party's official ideology or goals, so it's meaningful that the Chinese researcher's open discussion of killing US Navy sailors was picked up by global media."The fact that these hawkish admirals have been let off the leash to make such dangerous statements is indicative of the nationalist's clamor for prestige that is driving Chinese policy in the region," John Hemmings, a China expert at the Henry Jackson Society told Business Insider.<h2>Can China scare off the US with a 'bloody nose' attack?</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.sinodefence.com/strategic/missile/showimage.asp?imagename=df21c_02large">Sino Defence</a>Some of China's "carrier killer" missiles.</div></div></div>A "bloody nose" attack means what it sounds like. Basically, it's a quick, isolated strike that demonstrates an aggressor does not fear a foe, and theoretically causes the foe to go off running scared. "What the United States fears the most is taking casualties," Luo reportedly said at his speech at the 2018 Military Industry List summit on December 20, adding that sinking one carrier could kill 5,000 US service members."We'll see how frightened America is," he said. "Attack wherever the enemy is afraid of being hit. Wherever the enemy is weak."In the US, some fear Luo may be right that the loss of an aircraft carrier could break the US's resolve.Jerry Hendrix, a former captain in the US Navy, cautioned at a <a href="https://www.hudson.org/experts/687-bryan-mc-grath" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heritage Foundation talk</a> in December that aircraft carriers have become "mythical" symbols of national prestige and that the US may even fear deploying the ultra-valuable ships to a conflict with China.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/navys-aircraft-super-carriers-could-lose-to-russia-or-china-2018-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia and China's new missiles could scare the US president away from deploying aircraft carriers</a> "There is, unfortunately, the heavy potential of conflict coming, but the nation is not ready for heavy battle damage to its navy and specifically not to its aircraft carriers," said Hendrix.But the US has lost aircraft carriers before, and remained in the fight. <h2>A great power war China won't win</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">US Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Brian M. BrooksAircraft from the Freedom Fighters of Carrier Air Wing 7 fly in formation above the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Harry S. Truman.</div></div></div>"The decision to go after an aircraft carrier, short of the deployment of nuclear weapons, is the decision that a foreign power would take with the most reticence," Bryan McGrath, founding managing director of The FerryBridge Group LLC, a naval consultancy, told Business Insider. "The other guy knows that if that is their target, the wrath of god will come down on them."McGrath emphasized that threats to US carriers are old news, but that the ships, despite currently struggling to address the threat from China's new missiles, still had merit. "I would have been more surprised if we had seen former Chinese rear admiral say, 'The fact that we're building aircraft carriers is one of the dumbest moves of the 21st century given the Americans will wax them in the first three days of combat,'" said McGrath, dismissing Luo's comments as bogus scare tactics. Hemmings shared McGrath's assessment of China's true military posture.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">US Navy/Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathan BurkeThe USS Ronald Reagan, Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, conducts a live-fire exercise of its Phalanx Close-in Weapons System, or CIWS, in the Philippine Sea, October 1, 2016.</div></div></div>"This Chinese posturing and threatening is about as counter-productive as one can be. The Chinese navy is simply not prepared for a real war, nor is its economy prepared for a war with Beijing's largest trade partner," said Hemmings.While China's navy has surpassed the US's in ship count, and its military may one day surpass the US in absolute might, that day has not yet come. China's generals openly discuss their greatest weakness as inexperience in combat.China may find it useful for domestic consumption or to garner media attention to discuss sinking US ships and carriers, but McGrath said he doubts China's military is really considering such a bold move."If China sinks a carrier, that would unleash the beast. I'm talking about the real s*** major power war," he said. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-air-force-combat-jets-refuel-navy-military-aerial-fighter-2018-12">The US Air Force refuels combat jets in midair with a 'flying boom system' - watch it in action</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image">Getty Images</div></div>Johnny Manziel is the biggest name in this year's NFL Draft and he is also the biggest mystery.
A survey of 17 NFL Draft experts reveals that Manziel could be drafted as early as the third pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars or he could fall completely out of the first round (see below).
The biggest spot in the first round may be the fourth pick, owned by the Cleveland Browns, where five of the experts think Manziel will be taken. But if the Browns pass, Manziel could fall a long ways.
The biggest reason for the lack of agreement may be because even within teams people can't agree on Manziel.
"Nobody seems to really, truly know because the organizations that are looking at him, seriously looking at drafting him, there are splits [in the organization]," said Todd McShay on ESPN Radio. "An owner may say 'yes,' and a head coach and a general manager want to go in a different direction or vice versa."
Here is where the experts are predicting Manziel will be drafted:

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Mohamed Abd El Ghany/ReutersAn Egyptian army soldier stands guard near debris from a Russian airliner which crashed at the Hassana area in Arish city, north Egypt, November 1, 2015.</div></div></div>US and European intelligence sources said Wednesday that there <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/crashed-russian-plane-may-have-been-brought-down-by-explosive-device-2015-11">is a strong possibility</a> an ISIS affiliate based in Sinai placed a bomb on a Russian plane bound for St. Petersburg.The new evidence linking ISIS to the crash, which killed all 224 people on board, has the international community buzzing over ISIS' sudden transformation into a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/05/middleeast/is-isis-emerging-as-global-threat/index.html?sr=twCNN110515is-isis-emerging-as-global-threat0252PMVODtopLink&amp;linkId=18523191">major global threat</a>.And even as the investigation into the crash continues - the White House said Thursday it could not rule out the possibility of "terrorist involvement" - ISIS has already accomplished a significant feat, regardless of what the fuller picture of evidence eventually presents as their overall role in the attack."ISIS in a sense has already won the public back-and-forth because enough people suspect that ISIS may have done it, and for a group like ISIS the objective reality doesn't matter - it is a propaganda war," Shadi Hamid, a researcher at the Brookings Institution who studies Islamist movements, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/05/world/europe/britain-russia-plane-crash-egypt-sharm-el-sheikh.html?emc=edit_th_20151105&amp;nl=todaysheadlines&amp;nlid=5662857&amp;_r=0">told the New York Times</a> on Thursday."Objective truth of whether ISIS downed the Russian plane simply doesn't matter as much now," Hamid <a href="https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/662294887275102208">tweeted</a>, after calling the group's claims of responsibility for the crash a "propaganda coup" in a previous tweet."ISIS already won this round."A briefing by <a href="http://soufangroup.com/tsg-intelbrief-terror-in-the-skies/">The Soufan Group</a> echoed this sentiment: "Whether or not it was a bomb, and whether or not the Islamic State was responsible, the narrative is now set: the Sinai Province of the Islamic State. ... will now forever be regarded as having pulled off the largest mass casualty terrorist attack outside a conflict zone <a href="http://soufangroup.com/tsg-intelbrief-911-and-the-enduring-power-of-terror/">since 9/11</a>."<h2>'They're showing off'</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">REUTERS/Mohamed Abd El GhanyMilitary investigators from Russia stand near the debris of a Russian airliner at the site of its crash at the Hassana area in Arish city, north Egypt, November 1, 2015.</div></div></div>That the MetroJet attack and the threat it poses to passenger transportation worldwide is being compared to the effect of the September 11, 2001, attacks on US soil displays how the incident has helped ISIS achieve a level of notoriety once enjoyed by Al Qaeda. Taking responsibility for downing a civilian aircraft places ISIS in the ranks of Al Qaeda, which viewed global jihad <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/difference-between-isis-and-al-qaeda-2015-5">as more of a long game</a> and preferred to undermine the West and its partners with large scale, dramatic attacks. The possibility that ISIS -which has long relied on territorial conquest and summary executions to consolidate power across the Middle East - has changed its approach to waging jihad would constitute significant momentum for the group."The Sinai attack would be a first, and would signal that the Islamic State has become both capable of-and interested in-joining the dreadful ranks of global terrorism," The Soufan Group noted.But as geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer pointed out to Business Insider, ISIS's strategy hasn't necessarily changed - it is still, at its core, a terrorist organization that wants to be taken seriously and lure recruits to its ranks."ISIS is trying to project power against their enemies, big and small," Bremmer, the president of Eurasia Group, told Business Insider in an email. "They're showing off their capabilities. If their top interest is gaining notoriety to attract recruits and financial support, the strategy is consistent."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">REUTERS/StringerAn Islamic State militant (L) stands next to residents as they hold pieces of wreckage from a Syrian war plane after it crashed in Raqqa, in northeast Syria September 16, 2014.</div></div></div>It is consistent with ISIS' strategy, too, in that it keeps the target local rather than global. "The Russians are a target because of their armed intervention in the Syrian civil war from a month ago, not because of their actions outside this theatre," Jason Burke wrote in <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/05/if-isis-did-bring-down-russian-plane-what-does-it-mean-for-the-war-on-terror?CMP=share_btn_tw">The Guardian</a> on Thursday."The prime suspects behind the tragedy, if it does prove to be a terrorist attack, are local ISIS supporters in the Sinai. ... The location of the strike is within the core zone of territory of most interest to ISIS." ISIS' mastery of social media and online propaganda has already given it the ability to recruit tens of thousands of young jihadists in a way that Al Qaeda never could - with its written statements and bland, made-for-TV proselytizing. It was this success in shaping its media message that made larger-scale attacks unnecessary - ISIS already achieved widespread publicity without having to target other elements, like civilian aviation.But this opportunity of a propaganda "coup" - with a major foreign power currently bombing ISIS positions in Syria - may have been too good for the group to pass up."Putin is not interested in war with ISIS," Bremmer <a href="https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/662047557149790208">tweeted</a> on Wednesday. "But war with ISIS is interested in him." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/us-navys-unstoppable-lcac-hovercraft-land-water-amphibious-landing-craft-2015-11">The US Navy has an unstoppable hovercraft that can go from water to land in seconds</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NocmtteDrJTjzgxOANQxYraKkIZpx37M" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
