They&#8217;re emboldened to act against our allies and us all over the world. This is partly based on our falling short of fully engaging against our global threats. <\/p>\n<p>One of these threats is a collection of enemies with conflicting and competing interests, but a common goal. They want to eliminate western and other non-compliant cultures and governments. In place of these cultures and societies, they hope to establish a global empire that rules according to their radicalized political, murderous, holocaust, and thug worldview. <\/p>\n<p>As long as they continue on despite international opposition, they have hopes that drive their continued fight. Enter Retired General James Mattis, now Defense Secretary James Mattis. <\/p>\n<p>Military.com reports that Defense Secretary James Mattis has a plan to rapidly defeat ISIS. This plan calls for utilizing multiple national, international, and regional assets. This strategy calls for using multiple points of attacks from military, political, and economic corners. This is an asymmetrical warfare approach to an asymmetrical threat. The plan is secret for understandable reasons, offering President Trump with options to choose from. <\/p>\n<p>The plan calls for a quick defeat for ISIS. Hopefully, this is what eventually happens. ISIS uses their battlefield gains as part of their recruiting efforts. They reach out to potential fighters and potential lone wolf attackers. <\/p>\n<p>These guys won&#8217;t listen to reason as we see it. They are bent on the long-term goal of establishing their version of a global Islamic caliphate. As far &#8220;out of whack&#8221; this may seem to most outside of their part of the world, ISIS and other terrorist organizations truly believe that they&#8217;ll accomplish this. <\/p>\n<p>Although they won&#8217;t listen to reason, they will understand brute strength and violence of action. They&#8217;ll also understand losing traction in other areas of influence. What&#8217;s needed is a plan that defeats them not just militarily, but also economically, politically, and in other spheres of contests for the mind and heart. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Mattis plan does what&#8217;s hinted. <\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2017\/02\/28\/mattis-gives-white-house-tentative-plan-rapid-defeat-isis.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As readers here know, our enemies and adversaries are watching our moves, basing their own actions &hellip; <a title=\"Defense Secretary James Mattis Plan to Defeat ISIS\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=70570\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Defense Secretary James Mattis Plan to Defeat ISIS<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,5],"tags":[264,279],"class_list":["post-70570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foreign-policy","category-politics","tag-isis","tag-james-mattis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70570\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
