One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists -- as many as you can, whenever you can.

There are entire university departments, think tanks, media outlets, NGOs, foundations, and political parties devoted to promoting self-defeating, enervating fictions about terrorism designed to tie the hands of the West. We just have to live with it, deal with it, accommodate it, accept the barbarism. Terrorists have grievances. It's partly our fault, after all, because reasons. There are no military solutions. If we're nice to the terrorists they will actually help us stabilize the region. The tropes go on forever and they are invented by people who want the west to lose, and who would rather be wrong but appear sophisticated than be right and appear crude.

Trump wants our side to win. The winning approach to terrorism is very simple. Bomb them to smithereens. Kill them off. Decapitate the regimes. Sanction them until they have no more money for jihad. Trump gets it, because unlike so many people in politics, he doesn't care whether Harvard likes him.

Winning is going to generate a real peace dividend for America. Finally dealing with Iran -- the head of the snake -- will enable the US to step away from the Middle East. It will send a message to our adversaries that the big dog is still in charge. And very enjoyably, it will sweep aside decades of dumb elite groupthink about how we have no alternative but to cut deals with terrorists. Thank you President Trump.

Trump's greatest legacy will be showing that you can just do things and the conventional wisdom of the political establishment is almost always wrong.

Then we will have to kill millions of people.

It would probably help if we stopped sending the Taliban $40-80 million every single week.

I agree with most of this, but

America will collapse as a country like Rome before we militarily leave the middle east.

This is the correct answer.

It was said long ago and they obviously meant it: "We will defeat you from within"!!

I pray Americans wake up to that reality.

By following the same regime change strategies the CIA has pursued in Iran since the end of WWII with — and this is being charitable — utterly disastrous results?

Good luck. I’m not sure if you have noticed, but while much of MAGA is whooping it up over Venezuela and Iran, there as been some noteworthy developments in this country in the past few months.

NYC — the throne of the Western Financial System — just swore in a commie-jihadist as Mayor. While The Commonwealth of Virginia — the home of the largest number of Federal Employees in the D.C. metro area — just swore in a CIA spook as Governor.

And in the State of Minnesota, it appears a communist insurgency is underway on the streets of Minneapolis. All in defense of Deep State embedded Somalia jihadists hellbent on turning this nation into a 3rd world hellhole.

Yet with midterms looming, Trump is unnecessarily burning political capital in yet another Middle Eastern War. Does anyone else have the feeling that this isn’t going to end well for anyone who values Liberty in this nation?

This is why it’s different with Trump.

We’ve purposefully tied our hands behind our backs since nuking Japan.

Trump didn’t go to those schools of thought.

Anything enabling the left is not good for normal people.

Trump doesnt understand how stupid most people are, specifically the “independent” election deciders.
