President Donald J. Trump made a powerful statement this morning after the U.S. military carried out precision air strikes against ISIS militants hiding in caves in Somalia. According to the Department of Defense, the strikes successfully killed “multiple operatives” without harming civilians, delivering a stark message to ISIS: “We will find you, and we will kill you!”
In a tweet, Trump emphasized the significance of the action. He declared that he had ordered the strikes targeting a Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he led. These terrorists had posed a direct threat to the United States and its allies. “These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our allies,” Trump wrote. “The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians.”
Trump also took aim at President Biden, suggesting that his administration had failed to act swiftly enough to neutralize the ISIS threat. “Our military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!” Trump asserted. His words were clear: he acted decisively, and the results speak for themselves.
Supporters of the former president praised the statement. Greg Swenson, the chairman of Republicans Overseas UK, called it “brilliant – direct and honest,” describing Trump as “unfiltered but patriotic.” Trump’s message was a no-nonsense declaration of America’s resolve to combat terrorism.
While the President did not reveal specific details about the targeted individuals or the precise location of the operation, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that the air strikes were coordinated with the Somali government. The Pentagon statement underscored the broader objective: “This action further degrades ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians.”
ISIS has increasingly taken refuge in northern Somalia, where militants have refined their tactics, including the ability to hide from drones and even develop their own drones, or “quadcopters.” Military officials warned that ISIS cells are growing more capable, learning new ways to fund operations like kidnapping Westerners for ransom, further complicating efforts to stamp out their presence.
This action serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by ISIS. Despite the challenges, the U.S. military, under Trump’s leadership, continues to target these extremists relentlessly. Whether it’s striking terrorist leaders or dismantling their operations, the message remains unchanged: America will not back down in the fight against those who threaten its citizens and allies.
Trump’s statement sends a clear signal to terrorists worldwide. His unfiltered words leave no room for doubt: if you threaten the United States, you will be found and eliminated. This marks a sharp contrast to the previous administration’s more measured approach, with Trump’s followers seeing his direct, unapologetic stance as a major strength in dealing with national security threats.
