First it's necessary for a plurality of Americans as well as political parties to recognize there is a multi national threat.
And the most disturbing and dangerous is the enemy we have within also working with the outsiders to destroy us as a nation.
The war won’t be won as long as we are too ‘moral’ to fight it. Terrorism isn’t a country or a band of miscreants. Terrorism is an ideology. How do you defeat an idea?
The closest tactic I can think of is to ask, “What would the NKVD do?” The way to defeat an idea is to make the punishment for acting on it so swift, so devastating, so inevitable that the notion of implementing the idea dies in the mind before it can be acted on.
The Soviets were not squeamish. They would kill not only the terrorist but everyone in his family, everyone in his ‘village,’ everyone he knows. Mercilessly, openly, and unrelenting. That’s how I’d fight an ideology.
But by the time Americans become so bloody minded, the war will most likely be in the final stages of being lost.
Mike Flynn - the Turkish spy?
I don’t know I want to read anything that tries to start with a good faith quote from a traitor.
China is using the massive amount of money they are getting from us to massively improve and increase military capabilities, has established naval and airbases all over the world, particularly Africa, the Indian Ocean, and even South America (who do you think operates the Panama Canal these days?) and are gearing up for military confrontation as we speak.
Focus, people.
I keep reading more and more questionable stuff about Flynn.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and Russia have supporters inside our government who will oppose any actions against them.
We face a cabal of global socialists and islamists.
George Soros... Don't forget Soros. I believe he happens to be one of the biggest enemies that the western world has. His money corrupts everything it touches, including our own politicians...
The progressives and the "Open Society Foundations" should be listed as terrorist organizations...
When I first read the title, I’m thinking what the heck is he talking about. Then as I read the article, I understood. Yes, it is a war, and it’s a war similar to the cold war that he has identified. That is, first and foremost it’s a clash of civilizations/ideas. With the Cold war it was Communism/Socialism vs. Western style liberal democracy. Now it’s that same Western style liberal democracy vs. Islamo Fascism which is simply another form of socialism.
In a war of ideas you have to educate and win the hearts and minds. During the cold war we had the Voice of America and political leaders like Kennedy (the good one) and Reagan who called out the Soviet masters. They weren’t afraid to identify their enemy. That is the first step, we can’t be afraid to identify our enemy. Our enemy is Islamo Fascism. I define it as a means of government control of the people by use of a religious philosophy. Socialism where instead of the state being the god, Allah and his prophet Mohammed is the god.
The danger is from those who take the Koran literally, and believe and act upon it.
