With Trump's excellent team, such as USMC (Ret) General James Mattis in charge, the U.S. government has all the battlefield expertise it needs to win the Jihad War. We can start by keeping in mind that the U.S. military won every engagement it wanted to win in Iraq -- the ones we lost are due to our dreadful civilian bumblers. Nevertheless, losing naval control of the Gulf, for example, still puts us in a damned awkward position. Vladimir Putin has put on an almighty show of military fireworks, most obviously when Assad invited Putin into Syria to fight against American-backed jihadis on behalf of Assad's jihadis -- a complete madhouse morally, strategically, tactically and in every other way. If you can't even define who is on which side, you can only lose.
It's not the least of Donald Trump's accomplishments so far that he has finally pinpointed the enemy, both morally and strategically.
Liberals have not been able to defined a strategic and moral U.S. enemy since Joseph Stalin, so they are the last to find any sense of clarity in the current mess. They still get their strategic nuggets of wisdom from old newspaper cartoons: "We have found the enemy, and he is us." No wonder they spread nothing but defeatism.
Well, Donald Trump has now defined the enemy, and he has done so very cleverly. ISIS is the most atrocious wolf pack since the Totenkopf SS and Khmer Rouge, and destroying them is morally unambiguous: Or do you have any doubts about defeating the newest Nazis?
Declaring ISIS as the face of evil is a good move, morally, historically, and strategically. Even the Saudis and Qataris (who sponsored ISIS in the first place) are unwilling to take their side in public.
