Maduro in January. El Mencho in February. Khamenei in March. None of us should trivialize combat, but changes in the technology of U.S. combat have made it far more economical and altogether less trouble to target the kingpins rather than the masses. It only requires the guts and leadership to use that technology.
Thus, the days of Bomber Command incinerating Dresden or Curtis Le May torching Tokyo then trying a few Nazis and sparing Hirohito are long gone. If World War II were refought today, Hitler would be the first target taken out, and millions of lives would be spared.
In other words, not everything about the good old days was good.
Instead, we have now what I like to call “The Apprentice: World Edition.” If you’re not on board with us, you’re fired … and we ask the next top guy the same question. Pretty soon we find someone who can play ball, and the world gets peace and prosperity. Especially the U.S. of A.
A pretty sweet deal all around … even when it comes from the Bad Orange Boogeyman.
