I am not surprised at anything he has done thus far - it’s not like we weren’t warned. What amazes me is the brazen speed he is doing it in. It’s like he has this small window of time before American wakes up and realizes in horror that he IS what some said he is.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Can anyone tell me what present day troop strength is in Afgani, and Iraq?

Thanks

You'll have to search Google. Hard to pin down Afganistan.

thanks for the link!

You’re welcome. It’s harder to find exact numbers on Afghanistan, they mention how many withdrawn, how many more will be sent and the number of Australians serving there.

I believe I got that right, lol.

Didn't the taliban already say there were not going to be negotiations? That the idea of a "moderate" taliban member was just a fantasy on Bozo's part? I do believe he has been made a fool of on this point already.

This article was printed on the 8th of March, yesterday the Taliban took Bozo to the woodshed, negotiation game is OVER.

yeah, Zero is in way over his pay grade.

What is a moderate Talibani, anyway?
He only cuts his victims heads half off?
