While the mainstream media chases its tail over palace intrigue and manufactured outrages, the world continues to smolder. For decades, the foreign policy “experts” in Washington—the same brilliant minds who gave us decades of chaos—let fires burn in forgotten corners of the globe. They were content to manage America’s decline rather than secure its victory. They sent our sons and daughters into murky conflicts with no clear objectives, armed with rules of engagement seemingly written by our enemies.
These smoldering embers, long ignored by the globalist set, have a nasty habit of erupting into infernos that threaten us here at home. A problem left to fester in a distant land rarely stays there. Yet for years, the political class pretended otherwise. They shuffled papers in Foggy Bottom while real threats gathered strength. Now, finally, a president has decided to put out one of these fires with overwhelming force, not just more empty words.
From ‘The Daily Caller’:
With all eyes on Venezuela and the Pentagon’s recent strikes on alleged narco boats, the United States has been raining down bombs on Somalia throughout the year. The latest attacks in the African country bring the total number to over 100.
U.S troops are now on the ground in Somalia, fighting alleged members of ISIS, according to multiple reports. Gen. Dagvin Anderson, the Commander of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), also wants the campaign to be “intensified.” The official government response is that we are waging a war against terrorism. But as we know all too well, the government often hides its real intentions behind vapid press releases intended to mislead the public, or just outright lies.
Trump Delivers on Peace Through Strength
At first glance, this might sound like business as usual. Another messy entanglement in a part of the world most Americans couldn’t find on a map. But that’s where the failed thinking of the past ends and President Trump’s commonsense doctrine begins. Forget the aimless wandering of the Bush and Obama years. This is different. This is a targeted extermination of a threat, guided by the same principle that delivered the historic Middle East peace accords: Peace Through Strength.
For too long, our military has been held back by politicians who feared a mean tweet more than they feared a terrorist network. Trump has taken the leash off. When a commander on the ground says the campaign needs to be “intensified,” he is giving our warriors the green light to go and win. It’s really that simple. This isn’t about nation-building or winning some global popularity contest. It’s about eliminating evil so that it can never again threaten American lives.
Why Somalia Matters to Main Street
Make no mistake, the chaos in the Horn of Africa isn’t some distant, academic problem. It has a direct impact on our safety right here. The very instability that allows ISIS to fester in Somalia has also fueled a wave of migration that has profoundly changed American communities. You don’t have to look much further than Minneapolis to see what happens when you import the world’s problems instead of solving them at the source.
This is precisely why President Trump’s decision to clean out this hornet’s nest is so critical. He is taking the fight directly to the enemy in the homeland of Rep. Ilhan Omar—a politician who often seems more concerned with the welfare of foreign nationals than the security of her own constituents. By dismantling the terror infrastructure in Somalia, Trump is neutralizing a foreign threat and working to stop the radicalism from ever reaching our shores.
An End to Endless Wars
The usual critics are already screaming that this is another “endless war.” They couldn’t be more wrong. This is the very definition of ending a war before it becomes a generational crisis. The failed policy of the past was to let these threats grow until they required a massive, multi-trillion-dollar ground invasion. President Trump’s strategy is the opposite: a swift, surgical, and overwhelming application of force to remove the cancer before it spreads. That’s how you protect the country and the taxpayer’s wallet.
The American people are tired of a foreign policy that serves every interest but their own. They elected a president who promised to put America First, and that is exactly what he is doing. This decisive action in Somalia is a powerful reminder that we finally have a Commander-in-Chief who gets it. The primary duty of the government is to protect its own people. Under this president, American resolve is back, and the entire world is on notice.
Key Takeaways
- President Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” doctrine is actively dismantling terror networks.
- Instability abroad has direct security consequences for American communities.
- Targeted military strikes are ending threats, not starting new endless wars.
