An excellent and informative article, Will! Operation Eland may have been a huge tactical victory for the Rhodesians but it was an equally huge strategic mistake that doomed Rhodesia to its eventual decline and fall!
Thank you for this very important 🌍 tactical and strategic history from Africa. Communist terrorists still have their apologists among the intelligencia, the media and the global ngo's. Semper Fortis!
Rhodesia is our future too, unless we have the heart and courage to use our government - and its law enforcement agencies -as a weapon against the American leftist Intelligentsia. Our goal should be the destruction, by gov agencies, of the left wing NGO apparatus, which injects tens of millions into left wing projects and radical politicians. We must embrace ruthlessness If we want the western experiment to continue
This is true. The my biggest takeaway is to never let THEIR moral imperative make you question yours. I'll be controversial here using this example but the reason Israel continues to exist is their people do not pay [real/serious] heed to communist/leftist ideals. Franco was similar and when he went so started the long decline of Spain. America is destined for the same unless we KNOW we are right and the leftism/progressivism/communism is evil and anti-G-d.
That’s such a crucially important point, Gabbai; and is where, I believe, many of our more moderate conservative brothers and sisters get hung up. If you accept the Neo-Marxist, left-wing definition of morality, we have already lost. We need conservative, patriotic and nationalistic leaders who are able illustrate why our enemy’s definition of morality is paradoxically and fundamentally opposed to the concept of virtue, of the good.

Indeed they do! We must show them to be wrong!
