Two months ago, I read a piece....they’d added everything up since 9-11....one trillion dollars spent on Afghanistan. What do you have to show for it? Pretty much nothing.
If you take the pro-Afghanistan logic....you could stay another 20 years and spend another trillion. Makes no sense.
Last week, I read a Turkish news piece talking about a town in Afghanistan (40 miles from the Iran border). 50,000 residents, and journalists say that 80-percent-plus of the resident are engaged in the meth-manufacture/trade....into Iran. Tons of the stuff made monthly and smuggled into Iran. I’d suggest to leave....let the trade continue, and bring down both governments in the next decade.
Getting out of Syria makes complete sense politically. All the talking heads are saying how the military leaders are saying it is a mistake to leave. The move into Syria by Obama was never approved by congress.....make the libtards vote for it now. Approve the funding, go ahead Nancy and Chuck. Trump can also redeploy the dollars to our southern boarder where there is a real threat to our security. Trump completely supports Israel.......who is probably in the best position to manage things going forward.
Trump said he was going to get us out of these entanglements. He kicked the hell out of ISIS, now it is time to bring our troops home. The military should be wiping out bad guys. That job is done.
Sounds similar to our drug problem with our southern border. Securing our own border is one war I’d like to win.
