Historically, there's only one way to deal with Jihadists. Well, 2, technically, if you don't count just being enslaved, but killing everyone who's Muslim is not acceptable.
...killing everyone who's Muslim is not acceptable.
Why not? How many Americans (as well as Jews) have been killed by Islamic jihadists? They're the ones who started this "Holy War". Maybe somebody should show them the error of their ways.
Or; to quote the Checkered Demon, "F*** with the bull, you get the horn."
Crusty, I understand. I see the pro-rape campus Useful Idiots following the chants led by Billionaire paid evil professional revolutionaries, and I automatically think of defensive tactics. Primarily 27 & 37.
But there are probably millions of babies too young to have learned to understand and parrot "kill the infidels" who don't Need to be given an express ticket to Paradise, or wherever...
One pundit back before pundit was used outside Colonial India, argued that the only solution to The Irish Problem, was to take all the babies to be adopted ( presumably by British families ) and either kill everyone else on the Occupied Island or quarantine it and wait for them all to die.
And I point out the Irish Problem was set up by the Brits as a genocidal "replacement theory" war on the Irish. My paternal ancestors. Deliberate religious war of extermination and racism.
Much like, in cynical uncaring about the mass murder, but different in strategic planning, to the Arab Kingdoms ordering the Israeli Arabs to disrupt by fleeing as they went to war with Israel.
Although some of that disruption was done by the Brits in Ireland as they evicted the natives and forced them down the road to impoverish further the yet unconquered part of the Island. ( the opposite of "palestine" )
The parallels break down in that the displaced by the invaders Irish refugees were taken in by their neighbors ( not without strife in an island being invaded and enslaved, but taken in regardless ) While the Israeli Arabs that fled Israel on the command of the Arab Kingdoms were not. Island vs. Mainland, also a Large strategic difference.
And the time scales are quite different. Centuries of war in Ireland and just since 1948 in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan & Egypt...
Plus Ireland was invaded by what grew to be a vast, brutally efficient Colonial Empire. The Israelis were attacked by the Arab Kingdoms literally created from the wreckage of the Ottoman Empire by the Same Colonial Empire. So not so much parallels but more "six degrees of Imperial screwjob".
As an American of Irish descent I have a less emotional view than the Irish who weren't forced off their Island homes, and lived with the war of extermination and occupation, a distant perspective that allows seeing both sides a bit more objectively. And that War has almost played out, into a relatively peaceful truce. But it took generations.
We are at War with Islam, because they are at War with us. No escape from reality. Killing a massive percentage of the planetary population would be one possible, but implausible in cost and difficulty, solution to prevent our daughters being used as sex slaves, true.
Unfortunately the Watermelon, Academic, Democrat, Soviet, and Chinese Commies are temporarily allied with the Islamic Jihad to conquer us and enslave us. Breaking that Axis of Evil is necessary for freedom to live anywhere.
And until that alliance is smashed, there's no simple, if hard, way to stop the Jihad.
Almost a pity we can't turn the Greens against Islam as an unholy crusade in their insane genocidal war on humanity. But they are cowards who wouldn't fight against actual resistance, and no sane person would want the Greens to have enough firepower to succeed.
So we are forced to fight 2 religious wars simultaneously. Or be enslaved. Binary solution sets suck.
Although I'm willing to try deporting all the Greens to Pakistan just to watch the result. Pay per view? But I'm not in a good mood this morning...
The Biden* State department is deeply concerned that there won't be any American Hostages taken when Hezbollah finally gets a proportional response to it's War. I might have phrased that badly.
Simply the Biden* White House, whoever that is, is on the side of Iran in their ongoing War against us.
Don't let the useful idiots in Party Media try to separate the players in your head. It's Iran and it's paid/allied/proxies against Israel, the United States and Western Civilization, what's left of it.
So the Mullahs, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthies, and Qatar etc... Against the world, and no cowardly leftist wants to admit that or let their media minions tell you.
And the clock isn't just ticking like on a time bomb, that's not the right analogy. The fire is burning and the fuses are lit. There is a series of triggers not yet pulled, but there's no safety.
One trigger is the U.S. election, where the Mullahs will choose which triggers to pull depending upon who is declared winner, or shortly before, if it's too obvious to ignore.
But I'll be over optimistic and say, from November through January, if the "wrong guy" (from the Mullah's view ) wins, there'll be all out terror. Mass murder, ships sunk, planes shot down, and possibly nuclear genocide.
Multiple fronts, lies in the NYT, arrests of "domestic terrorists". You know, now, but worse.
If the "right guy" is perceived as winning, it's the same thing, but slower. Scenario A just has a rush to take hostages before you know who can give orders.
My question is what new hostages will be held to shield the bad guys?
I'm thinking Paris, or Toronto, or Belgium. ( smuggled nuke )
But that's not the Only Trigger, just the one most here are contemplating. Putin could use the next terror attack in Moscow as a pretext to sue for a cease fire in Ukraine and try for International Hero status by taking out his current allies in exchange for a World Peace alliance in the region between the Atlantic & Indian ocean.
And the Chinese might make a deal to take from India to Not Quite Australia. I'm sure they've studied where the Japanese went wrong in '41.
