Bob Arctor   11 #781 Posted August 22, 2017 I see Trump has reversed his position on Afghanistan now and is committing more troops. The US is still trapped by their terrible decision to stoke the conflict in Afghanistan in the 1980s and then walk away having littered the country with landmines and assisted in the destruction of Afghan agriculture. Now they are terrified to leave it alone for fear of what will happen while their back is turned, yet reluctant to stay and particiapte in an eternal conflict. Enjoy your Hundred Year War, motherlovers!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker   10 #782 Posted August 22, 2017 I see Trump has reversed his position on Afghanistan now and is committing more troops.  So the Trumpet is preparing to send more American troops over to die in the hellhole of Afghanistan.  Didn't the Trumpet dodge the Vietnam draft a couple of times ?  Edit: my mistake, the Trumpet dodged the Vietnam draft FIVE times  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-speech-military-outfit-criticism-veterans-us-navy-a7609471.html  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tinfoilhat   11 #787 Posted August 23, 2017 Another "campaign" rally (why? He won!) more lies and the suggestion he'll close government to build his wall.  Trump says he is willing to 'close government' to build Mexico wall http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41020779  That said, I'm beginning to twig why he keeps doing these rallies, it's very light on facts but keeps his core voters whipped up and on side. He effectivly starting his re-election now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He effectivly starting his re-election now. He started months ago: he officially filed his re-election application with the Federal Elections Commission on the day of his inauguration, and has been running re-election funding dinners at $35k a plate ever since. If he can last the political distance, 4 years is plenty enough to have vested interests pocketed in that time, clear the room enough to install a self-perpetuating, officialised kleptocracy. Just ask Putin and Erdolf. Edited August 23, 2017 by L00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
