I thought I would throw a title at you to keep you on your toes……especially those of you that do not keep up with the events and spend your time listening to the morons in the media……
First of all there is NO workable plan right now in the fight against ISIS…..we throw a few airstrikes at them, kill a couple of fighters and claim success……that my friends is called propaganda in case the concept was missed.
Let’s be honest……..no matter how much the admin promises there is NO clear cut strategy…….even Obama has stated such…..
Following a meeting with Iraqi Premier Hayder Abadi during the G7 summit in Germany, President Obama talked up his plans to eventually win the ISIS war, saying the existing strategy was sound but not “complete,” and suggesting that the “complete strategy” would mean further escalation.
Launching the ISIS war a year ago, Obama promised no ground troops, a pledge quickly changed to no combat troops. More and more troops are put near the front lines, however, and Pentagon leaders are openly talking about embedding US troops into combat forces as a next step.
There it is…..what you have been waiting for……the strategy is escalation!
Would you like a simpler definition?
Containment! Tactics to stretch the USSR to its limits in economics and militarily…….make them keep up with the US and in the end bring about collapse…..the strategy was from a paper written in 1947……..and that is what the US is trying to do with ISIS……the problem is that it will not work as it did during the Cold War.
All the war hawks are yelling for an expansion of the military into the areas that ISIS controls…..and that is a throw back to WW2 where the massive force thrown at an enemy will rule the day……this too is a failure for the US. After a year of constant airstrikes ISIS has not slowed down and is still annexing territory under their control.
Any “new” plan is nothing new just an adjustment to the strategy of the Cold War……..which needs to be put to bed and a new form of resistance be found and implemented.
