Putin paid bounty money to Talibans who killed American troops

He’s just waiting for putin to tell him what to say.

 

he’s cleaning up obama’s war of necessity

 

nah he didn’t. that was obama and his famous reset then more flexible policy

 

Astounding. Bush and Cheney initiate two wars under a false flag "attack" on the WTCs, and it's Obama's fault? All the gains that Bush made in Afghanistan were given up by Obama? And Trump is the only one that can fix it?

Pay attention. Notice that the real common denominator is the MIC that Ike warned us about.... Neither Obama or Trump are within a mile of ending the Bush/Cheney forever wars....

 

i credit its failure

 

um the WTC happened. obama’ gave up on bush gains that’s his failure of leadership and he said it was his war of necesssity p

 

I guess we better bomb Iran

 

President Trump will give russia the old soviet union in exchange for the middle east.

mother russia was merely defending its backyard

 

Tit for tat. Washington was behind the Taliban during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan - that had come to be known as Moscow's Vietnam. Funny. Really funny that Al Qaida morphed into the brains behind the attack on NYC' World Trade Centre so the effort to kill Russians came back to bite Washington in the posterior region.

The French got their azzes kicked out of Vietnam so the Yanks rushed in to show froggy how to run a war. So the Yankees also got their buttocks handed to them by the Vietnamese. And now Yankee Doodle thinks he can show the Russians how to win in Afghanistan but history is set to repeat itself.

I am very sorry about the digression but in the end (no pun intended) whatever incentive Russian military might have to see Americans fill body bags in Afghanistan falls into the category of "love and war". It's simple, you push me I push you back.

 

Because you think Clinton was paying a bounty to Chechens who killed Russian soldiers?

 

You are free to go over there and fight. I admire your patriotism in wanting to do that. In the meantime, all of our troops should be pulled from the Middle East. I suspect we may be needing them in the USA in the very near future, especially if Trump wins the election.

 

Watch. He will say or do nothing unless it’s to cast doubts on the intelligence findings. I’m sure putin has trump by the shorthairs for something. His pandering can’t be just about protecting his hotels.

 

Those were his instructions.

 

I hope the Democrats run on escalating war on the Middle East. That will be real winner for them I am sure.

One of Trump's biggest failures has been his inability to withdraw from the region. Trump explicitly ran on getting us out and it was one of the major factors in people voting for him. I think he has tried several times but each attempt to withdraw failed. I am not sure if Trump failed because he never intended to withdraw or if the establishment stopped him. Given the absolute shoddiness of the press corp, it is nearly impossible to tell.

75% of the troops and their families in Afghanistan support full withdrawal.
61% of the American people support full withdrawal.

About the only people who want us over there are the neocons, neolibs, the far left and the billionaires. Nobody else thinks we should be there. Nobody can articulate a coherent national interest in being there. The amount of damage done to America by remaining there is nearly incalculable. The amount of profit for the oligarchs is in the hundreds of billions if not trillions.

 

FYI, when I was a DoD contractor on my last contract, if I was requested, I didn't have a choice, and I did volunteer for both the Kosovo and Afghanistan.

That is irrelevant, the threat still exists.

 

BS - Benedict Donald is a bottom, and you know it...

 

"Putin paid bounty money to Talibans who killed American troops"

what does Trump have to say about it?

 

yeah, Trump invited the Taliban to America the week of 9-11 - #StupidPresident

 

This:

 

A lot of people voted for Obama because they thought he would follow through on the demands the left made on Bush and pull all our people out of that mess. He just gave us more of the same.

 

Don't YOU want USA troops out of Afghanistan?

Why not?

 

The russkies are coming?

 

Indeed we're very lucky Obama' no longer President; there's no telling where his flexible spine would have led us.

 

the article is clear...

 

And so was I.
