This is easy. It’s because Putin and ISIS know absolutely that our guys will never use violence. They have said so going in, while negotiating, and have told them that everything is on the table EXCEPT military force. They simply do not believe anything can be solved by violence. While Putin knows that everything can be effectuated better when a tank rolls into town and ISIS knows they can solve the problem by cutting your head off, your children’s heads off, and auctioning off your wife to a life of sex slavery to an ISIS warrior. . . or burning them all to death in a cage.
