Ken Abramowitz is the author of The Multifront War: Defending America From Political Islam, China, Russia, Pandemics and Racial Strife.

With the war needing to wind down soon, Israel needs to take decisive actions to ensure a safe future for the West.
A modernized America First policy shouldn’t be isolationist, but rather focused on containing the communist, socialist and Islamist threats facing the United States.
To defeat the Islamist, Communist and Socialist threats to the United States, we must adopt the Cold War model, according to which war is a marathon, not a sprint.
The Islamists’ war against non-Muslims has been ongoing for nearly 1,400 years, but has accelerated in the past 50. What can the United States do about it?
Western nations are under no obligation to wait indefinitely for Islamist dictatorships to compromise. It’s time for Israel to act in its own self-interests.
The sad reality is that there is that there is no chance of a compromise with Islamist terror organizations. Either we decide to win, or we decide to lose.
Without the definite determination to win, the Trump administration will most likely seek to tie, which will lead to a U.S. defeat.
Without advisers like John Bolton, the United States is likely to choose inaction. And with the threat of war rising rapidly, inaction is not in America’s best interests.
From the Barbary Wars to the current showdown with Iran, America’s and the West’s battle against Islamism has been a long-term effort, and we must configure our resources accordingly.
