But the differences in tactics shouldn't fool anyone; their goals remain more or less the same as any major worldwide fascist movement throughout history.
It is not foolishness to believe that this "current wave of psychopaths infesting the world" are capable of fomenting sufficient chaos to instigate conflict between the major powers.
The strategic and economic importance of Iran and Korea should not be underestimated. The West as well as Russia and China know that the delicate geopolitical balance that maintains the peace can be toppled by the Islamofascists. China and Russia are opportunists, biding their time. When the United States is perceived as being too undecisive or too weak to act decisively, they will make their move on the Middle East and Asia. Then we will face armies, navies, and air forces that are capable of disciplined military combat.
This is why the cancer of liberalism is so dangerous. In the midst of mortal danger, liberals blur the lines between truth and falsehood, bind our leaders with legalistic stratagems, and seek to weaken our resolve. This is why these events are transpiring in our day. It is not happenstance. The test that comes to us is whether we have the moral clarity to make right decisions and act with conviction.
