A retired senior Admiral outlines the rise of Islam and the decline of the west in plain words anyone can understand.
In the late 1800s the British empire trained and armed a nation of religous fanatics in an effort to hem in a threat to their empire.
The nation the Brits trained was Imperial Japan which went on to defeat the Russian empire in 1905 (financed by Russian Jacob Schiff in Wall Street as revenge for pogroms).
Less than 40 years later these very same Japanese, using the navy the British helped build attacked the British empire in Asia and ended European colonial rule in most of Asia and were allied with the Nazis (Oops, Jacob Schiff).

History reapets itself when Reagan armed the jihdis to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in an updated version of The Great Game.
Less than 20 years later, the USA finds itself fighting a world wide jihad lead by the very same jihadists it armed and trained to fight the Russians.

Even though I have negative feelings about any involvement by us in the Muddle East,you have to admit that the ragheads are a MUCH less serious threat than the USSR was.
And will remain a much less serious threat unless we screw up and continue to pretend to fight them while ignoring their financiers and clerics.
Which does seem to be precisely what we are doing.
I have said it before and I will say it again,NOBODY ever won a war by killing privates. If you want to win a war you MUST take out the enemy leadership and their financing. If you do both early,there won't even be a need to destroy their infastructure and cause their common people to suffer.
I have absolutely zero faith we are going to do what we should be doing,though.IMHO we are going to continue doing what we are doing bnow,which is wasting lives on both sides while creating new enemy fighters to go against us with ever day that passes.
If you are going to fight a war,fight a damn war! If you're not going to fight,pack it all up and bring it and the troops back home and be done with it.
