Throughout the election campaign he has not repeated anything else: I will put an end to the wars in 24 hours. Obviously an hyperbole, but sufficient to deliver the message. The success achieved in the Middle East is emblematic, with the white smoke for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. It will take more time for the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is a tough bone. In short, Donald Trump It has always been clear and peremptory: just wars, just conflicts. In short, the pacifist tycoon. Yet, a few days after the settlement, the United States made themselves the protagonists of bombings.
Yesterday Trump ordered a Air attack against a base of the Islamic State in Somalia: eliminated about fifteen militiamen, including a leading face in the planning of attacks and in the training of militiamen. In a message on his social truth, the head of the White House explained: “The raid destroyed the caves where they lived, killing many terrorists, without jeopardizing civilians. Our soldiers have hunting this planner for years, but Biden and his cronies would never have acted with the rapidity necessary to complete the work. I did it! “
“The message for ISIS and for anyone else who wants to hit the Americans is that we will find you and kill you“!” added Trump. But how: wasn’t it the man of peace and the end of conflicts? Trump has never hypothesized new wars, on the contrary, he reiterated that Washington will pull out of the incandescent situations around the world. As evidence of his intentions, the drastic reduction in military presence in Africa and Europe during his first term. Now the troops sided in the Old Continent is being studied in response to the invasion of Ukraine and said it will not be involved in other interventions. The only priority in his rearm plans is the challenge with China in Indo-Pacific, he explains Republic.
Trump’s words would seem in contrast to the bombing in Somalia. But in reality Nobody should be surprised. The United States does not want to take part in the wars that are undermining peace, but this does not mean that Washington will remain impassive in the face of threats and intimidation. A warning to ISIS, to those terrorists ready to hit – again – America. Toc Toc, we are ready to cut out any goal: this is the brief summary of the Trump-Pensiero. A simple deterrence strategy pointed with the new head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, which seems to count a lot on the evolution of artificial intelligence systems and big data to make it more incisive.
The viewfinder aimed at Somali ISIS it is not accidental. Although less numerous than other realities, this militia is considered by industry experts such as the emerging power of the Islamic State, complete with internalization of the group with recruits from the Middle East, from Africa and from the whole West, including the USA. According to the Pentagon, the Somalis would be ready for sensational actions, as evidenced by the plan to have jihadists who are in the sanctuaries in the mountains of Cal Miskaat, near Puntland, where you can train them to seize western and improve the preparation for combat, building drones and learning to hiding from surveillance from heaven. And again, the suspicions about the role in the resumption of piracy in the Horn of Africa, suddenly increased in parallel with the assaults of the Houthi Yemeniti against merchant traffic in the Red Sea.
No intention of participating in conflicts, but ready for anything to defend America. No Trump “Bombarolo” for the moment. Even the attack in Somalia cannot be compared to the predecessor exporters of democracy, just think of the indiscriminate attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, or those made with the drones, also under the Obama, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Yesterday was a targeted attack, without civil victims: an “intelligent attack” from the tactical point of view to immediately write the word end to a dossier as uncomfortable as it is dangerous.
