Sissies were born war weary.
War is the nature of man...to be weary of war is to be weary of life.
There is an eternal war between Good and Evil.
Isis is the latest iteration of Evil.
War weary.
Aw....
These are the new talking points since Trump said he’d go after ISIS.
These a$$es are so transparent.
Because, if we don’t pay attention, they will eventually be at our doorstep.
After we had won the War Against Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama unilaterally decided to surrender and give everything back to the terrorists.
“ISIS is different. It does pose an existential threat to the U.S.”
Indeed it does pose a threat. FDR, for all his faults, didn’t allow our mortal enemy the Nazis to set up camp in America.
President Buckwheat, a mortal enemy to America, is allowing Islamic terrorists to set up camp among our homes and families.
It’s way past time to call Buckwheat out and demand where his loyalties lie.
The bottom line is Islam’s goal is to destroy America and western civilization. Allowing IS to get stronger puts America and Americans at greater risk.
In no particular order:
1. Oil. And not just for us but for our allies. The free flow of oil at market prices is necessary for modern economies.
2. We broke it, we own it. By removing dictators like Saddam, Mubarak, and Daffy we created instability in the ME. The peoples of the ME are not, and likely never will be, capable of democratic self government. By deposing the “monsters” and attempting to replace them with “democracy” we created power vacuums that are being filled by things like the Moslem Botherhood and ISIS. This means we need to kill a bunch of people, stabilize the area, install some “bastards,” and make sure they stay loyal to us. Or else.
3. We broke it, we own, Redux. In addition to removing the stabilizing influence of ME dictators, for various stupid reasons (like wanting to run a LNG pipeline through Syria) we decided to support various independence or democratic movements, apparently forgetting that Arab “democracy” means one man, one vote, ONCE (and subject to veto by an Imam or an Ayatollah). We supported them diplomatically AND materially (what the heck do you think was going in Benghazi?). Again, we need to clean up after our messes.
4. Israel. Israel is the only country in the world where the survival of the Jewish race is not dependent on the good will of a non-Jewish majority. Face it, Jews need a place where they are in charge.
5. It ain’t just a ME problem. Forgotten about 9/11 already? We have imported waaaaaaay to many Moslems into the US and because of stupid ideas like “diversity” they have not been compelled to go through the melting pot process and become fully American. That, coupled with the worship of victimization and grievances means we have plenty of young idiots ready for radicalizing. Europe has the same issue, too.
Because we prefer to fight wars on the other guy’s turf.
This is a religious and tribal civil war that has been ongoing for over 1,000 years. Who seriously thinks we are going to stop that?
This is not just a few thousand or even a million people. This is an entire culture of 1.6 BILLION people who CAN NOT GET ALONG with each other and never have.
We’re not going to ‘nation build’, we’re not going to bring democracy, we’re not going to bring peace to these cultures ... that is just a delusional fantasy.
Isis is an offshoot of the unraveling of the Sykes-Picot Treaty at the end of WWI. The Middle East was carved up by England and France without regard of religious, tribal, or regional differences. The entirety of that area will see serious unrest for years to come until historical norms prevail
