What Trump is trying to do is what should have been tried long ago.
Bush took the fight to the bad guys, albeit somewhat misdirected at times, he did land the ship in the muddy water.
Obama decided all of that sacrifice, both blood and monies were a bad idea, tried a different approach. tried to talk nice nice, cuddle them.
Somewhere in his first year of doing that he realized he fucked up, back peddled, tried to act like a tough guy, but everyone on the world stage knew he was a pantie wearing liberal by then.
So suddenly the US looked like a bunch of bumbling idiots. terror won.
Now trump is trying to reinstate our leadership capabilility, which by the way is our only chance of defeating terror.
World leaders know that, we are the point men, but they have to help, and so far it looks like they may be willing, if we stick to the program and show them we mean business.
Trump bitch slapped Assad, he bitch slapped Putin. And Israel and Saudi Arabia, just to name two took notice.
Now if we can just get the liberal wing of our political system here in the US to stop acting like little girls that had their lollypops taken away. Whining and stomping their feet about insignificant fairytale
conspiracies we just might be able to get something done. I don't hold out a lot of hope given the Democrat leadership as it stands. otherwise these cowardly attacks on innocents will become more the norm
