Putin paid bounty money to Talibans who killed American troops

Any happier and he'd piss himself!

 

Let's hear what Beau thinks:

 

Nice pairing of audio and video there...

Didja see how Junior tried to spin that walk?? He's almost as nutty as his father, but with several more years to get there...



Other than the typos and poor punctuation (ignorance a family trait), the thought that Donald Trump Jr ever worked any of the following is completely laughable

- Night Shift
- 48 hour shift
- Third job (a first might be a good start)

Everybody needs to remember where Trump was coming from.... Not a natural disaster or time spent touring COVID wards at hospitals or meeting with protesters.... Nope, he's leaving a failed rally designed only for his base... or, as Junior calls it, "working my ass off for the American people"

They couldn't be more deluded if they took classes in the subject..

 

The Story in the OP is The Tip of The Iceberg...

The picture gets uglier and uglier and uglier...

Just saying...

 

This walk is entitled "Why, oh why, did I have that fifth Quarter Pounder with cheese?

 

it’s a theory that was the motive. it’s a fat trump embarrassed him

 

russia doesn’t own are loans

 

It's a theory that Fat Trump embarrassed him...

 

nope that’s a fact the battle happened.

 

And Putin's emotional state is your OPINION.

This may help:

 

sure but the fact is trump beat his ass

it’s theory that’s why he allegedly did this. like global warming is a theory

 

No, Fat Trump sat at home, eating hamberders, drinking Diet Coke and watching Faux Noise in his soiled Depends. The American military beat their asses.

 

He followed through on Iraq because Iraq at the time wanted us out, due to it being a more unilateral campaign. Afghanistan is still a NATO operation.

 

The threat still exists in that region.

 

yep and he is their commander and chief that ordered it! the military is once again a bright proud shining machine

 

So you are unaware that the threat of terrorists regrouping doesn't exist anymore.

 

Trying to completely conquer Afghanistan has proven to be an impossible task throughout history.

 

I expect he’ll come out with a tweet excusing putin for this, if he hasn’t already done so.

Germany doesn't want US troops IN Germany(very similar to Japan actually), we worn out our welcome abroad in many regards. You can thank the "bomb everyone" philosophy for that. As far as these bounties? Definitely upsetting, but it's not new in proxy warfare. That's what the Taliban is, that's what the muhajeeden was.

It cannot be, per se the reason to cut off all ties(just like Russian interference couldn't be). Both Russia and China are geopolitical foes of the United States. At the same time however, we cannot ignore them. We should blame ourselves for whoring ourselves to the Chinese, and the Chinese were apt enough to take advantage.

We thought it was the other way around for decades, we thought this out of conceit and bad intel. We have two choices, we can cut ourselves off, or we can engage in a tit-for-tat. If we engage in a tit-for-tat, we invite the cold war again(and it could be hot), if we cut ourselves off, as Democrats love to say: We'll lose influence.

At the heart of this, is the greater problem: The war on terror, and our absolute misconception of the First Amendment. It does not apply to people abroad, nor is it some qualifier for residency. It is an assurance to the citizens and residents in this country and frankly the founders would be of the opinion that those who cannot abide by the basic premise of America's freedom, equality and the pursuit of happiness shouldn't reside in the union.

Imagine if we had come to the collective determination that Islam, a tenant that violates the American ideal cannot be allowed inside of our shores. Instead of fruitlessly fighting a "war on terror" to keep them over there, or to "install democracy", we can simply and utterly cut the problem at its source, by banning those who at minimum have affiliated with any group or clergy that is or has affiliated with a terrorist group in the last, say, 25-30 years.


Our fatal flaw, our interpretation that we are to "accept all", and yet the dichotomy of fighting an enemy that doesn't recognize our values has meant that we cannot fight the war with the same tools, that the enemy possesses. The enemy freely, readily and propagandizes their distinction from the US. We on the other hand, try to accept the enemy.

The President is absolutely right about this basic fact, and as long as we fight this fact, the enemy can take pot shots at us while we try to convince ourselves "Well, it's not all of them" and yet at the same time somehow keep troops there.

 

What threat? I feel perfectly safe from Islamic insurgents here in Denver.

 

Which ain't in Afghanistan. One must wonder if the obtuseness is actually feigned...

 

Followed through is what we call it now? Had to get down to Syria and draw that red line that stopped the Russians I guess.

 

Oh noe? Watching TV and seeing how anarchists, looters, arsonists and other Democrats behave, makes me wonder...
