Dear Editor:
Can somebody tell me why it took only five years to defeat imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, which had a larger, better equipped and organized military, while it will be taking much longer to defeat ISIS?
In spite of all the airstrikes from the air forces of several European countries, they are still up and about killing more people, gaining and losing ground here and there in Syria and do not seem to have any problems successfully rallying to their cause new murdering zombie volunteers from other countries.
They are creating a massive exodus of refugees who flee for safety into neighbouring countries including Europe. Heaven forbid that the immensely wealthy Saudis and the Emirates would lend a hand to their own suffering brothers in faith. It falls on some of those infidel European countries to bear the brunt of these unprecedented human displacements.
I dare to predict that as the war against ISIS expands into Libya, because of those tempting oil wells, there will be an additional massive refugee influx into Europe from Libya through Spain and Italy, just a stone’s throw away.
ISIS has already taken over two Libyan coastal towns. What better way for ISIS to infiltrate Europe than among the thousands of refugees who will be fleeing there, a land of open borders? Europeans’ patience is already wearing thin. Unless the United Nations and not just the U.S. decides to deploy well-trained ground forces to decisively deal with ISIS, Boko Haram and their merry group of men, things are going to get much worse.
Also, the West would be well-advised to keep an eye on that North Korean would-be Fuehrer Kim Jong-un. He is developing and expanding his military forces and nuclear weaponry ignoring all complaints; shades of 1939.
With all that is happening in our world, can Armageddon be too far off?
