The resurgence of ISIS in Libya would add another urgent factor to the reasons President Trump already said that Haftar is his man.

A PROVOCATIVE,
NEXT-GENERATION THINK TANK. Entire classes of Washington fixtures including media outlets and think tanks have been unable or unwilling to address and communicate the most basic requirements of American nationhood, our security and sovereignty. While this Beltway ‘ruling class’ is being swept away, there remains the urgent need for a replacement infrastructure – new forums to debate and educate on the most pressing nationalsecurity issues.
SSG focuses on defending the value of American power against the true threats we face. Both the legislative and executive branches need rapid access to concise and factual data to inform strategic re-orientation in counterterrorism and national security policy. That’s what Security Studies Group is all about.OUR TEAM
