Donald Trump makes no secret that his office will be ruthless in terms of dealing with the enemies of the United States. But if he is to stand firm on his policy of resorting to armed conflict, the latest political analysis from the books of Jack Weatherford points to Genghis Khan as his most effective model.

The Failing Western Paragons

When it comes to ideal military role models, American leaders are always quick to rely on the legacy of their Western forerunners. Ancient historical generals like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, or Napolean Bonaparte are among the most favorite key examples of ideal generals waging wars overseas.

Both articles published by Statehouse Report and Charleston Current imply that Western military role models have no bearing in how America's wars were conducted in the 21st Century. In fact, these notable heroes were only mentioned as a matter of ethnocentric pride. In a purely strategic standpoint, America is doing a disastrously poor job in pacifying unstable regions it intended to control.

Pax Mongolia Success

Under Genghis Khan, the Mongols have succeeded in conquering a territory nearly as huge as the entire North American continent. Of course, these include Afghanistan (Central Asia), Iraq (Babylon) and Syria (Assyria). In fact, few people in Western countries acknowledges the achievements of Asian conquerors like Genghis Khan. He is someone who managed to completely pacify the three known countries in a single year. Those that have been a bane in America's foreign policy for nearly five decades.

Why Genghis Khan?

According to an analysis from Jack Weatherford's books, Genghis Khan possesses at least 4 known qualities that supplemented his military genius. These are 4 C's are known as Confidence, Clarity, Consistency, Critical Thinking.

It is painfully obvious that Donald Trump only seemingly possesses one of four characteristics. It is perhaps because of his total lack of moral consistency that, as Jobs & Hire reports, he and his family are being indicted for hypocrisy considering his inflexible crusade for conservative family values.
