By doing what should have been done by Dubya – very publicly exterminating the big bosses – Trump had Islamofascism on its heels. The Arabs could see how rich Israel has gotten – without oil and with constant harassment – and finally figured out which side of the bread has the butter on it. From the announcement of the Neom deal, the War on Terror was over.
Until last month, when Fiasco Joe rearmed the terrorists – reenergizing them, too. And that was only the third-worst fiasco in the Afghanistan capitulation: Surrendering Taiwan was second, but first and worst was delivering all of the American military technology in Afghanistan to Red China.
It seems likely that the catastrophes brought down upon us by Fiasco Joe will extend far more than twenty years into the future, so there is no need to look backwards: From both Islam and Marxism – also reinvigorated by Fiasco Joe – there is worse to come.
