pretty much the way we are doing it now.. I have lots of complaints about Obama calling ISIS "JV" and ignoring the threat
But they came across the right policy- US bombs/special forces, but with local troops on the ground.
For sure there needs improvement -directly arming the Kurds instead of going thru Baghdad.
And Iraq is turning into a colony if Iran. But for the war against ISIS -it's working, and it's the only path that does
I agree that what Obama is doing now is more or less effective at containing ISIS. Kind of in the same sense that someone who alerts the fire department once the kitchen is on fire is doing the proper thing lol.
In other words, had Obama pressured the Iraqis into keeping a US presence in Iraq, ISIS wouldn't have taken Iraq. Or if he wouldn't have minimized ISIS [either for political purposes or ignorance] they could have been easily defeated before they got established in Iraq. Then ISIS would be just another Islamic terrorist group that flies under the radar. There's a bunch of them.
But here we are.
I don't think there's any pat answers for how to defeat radical Islam. Somewhere between scorched earth and denial is where it lies. Ultimately, it's going to require help from Muslims probably in the form of some sort of reformation within Islam, itself. Nothing the current administration is doing or has done is productive in that regard. Much of it has been counter productive, in fact.
Trump caught all sorts of grief for proposing a ban on Muslim immigrants [immigrants as defined by Merriam Webster lol, lol]. Lately, he softened his stance but in a sense it doesn't matter. Because in the bigger picture, the message was sent to the global Muslim community that the time is long past for some introspection on their part---and within their own community.
Neither Obama or Trump has the answer and if Hillary had it we'd know by now. But of the three Trump is 'more right', as it were.
Liberal bed wetting, notwithstanding lol.
oh look Rune had a brain fart.
