No, I think is that “winning” is actually winning, not the illusion of victory. Unfortunately, in the West, we’ve allowed ourselves to be confined to a set of rules that make victory impossible. We want bloodless, push-button victories with cruise missiles, drones and no collateral damage. What we really do is inflict pinprick damage on a foe who is able to quickly adapt and recover. That is not a formula for an MSM soundbite, but not real victory.
