Listening to the leftist propaganda of the Biden era, one might think that President Trump has conveyed no substantive policy prescriptions. How about peace? Bringing home troops from foreign combat zones seems like a good policy.
It is important to note that Vice President Harris, in her debate with President Trump, made the following claim:
“And as of today, there is not one member of the United States Military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.”
Subsequently, many posts on X debunked this statement in real time as troops serving in combat zones, watching the debate, posted their reactions in disbelief.

Despite the Vice President’s assertion before a national audience, the claim is verifiably false. As reported by Axios in October 2023, the United States had over 40,000 troops in the Middle East, many in combat zones.
Given the heightened conflict between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah, it’s possible that the number has increased.
President Trump has always spoken of disengaging from foreign entanglements. Trump set the wheels in motion for a future Afghanistan withdrawal and threatened to withhold funding from NATO if the allies did not meet their financial obligations.
A focus on rebuilding the country and its industrial core would mean cutting spending in foreign countries. To do so would require de-escalating a years-long territorial conflict between Russia and Ukraine. More concerning, however, is the potential for the igniting of a powder keg in the Middle East.

....”In the clip below, RFK speaks about being on a plane and discussing the Middle East with President Trump. According to RFK, President Trump drew a map of the Middle East with all the countries indicating the troop strength in each. Tucker Carlson questions this in disbelief.
The interesting part, however, was where RFK describes President Trump consulting “his generals” about the dangers of those troops in the region. Upon hearing of the dangers, RFK says, Trump orders the generals to get the troops out.
Watch the clip here:
RFK JR: “When I was on the plane the other day with President Trump he took a piece of paper and drew a map of the Middle East with all the nations on it. Then he wrote in each country the troop strength. He was looking at the border between Syria and Turkey and asking… pic.twitter.com/pqCmIU9VxB

Should it be public information?
Remember how heals up said Ukraine was a country.. in Europe.. as if reading to kindergarten kids. I doubt she could draw a map of the middle east from memory.
This is why Freerepublic should BAN any postings from GP. Trump was on a plane with “his” generals AND RFK jr. the election was 3 days ago. They are not his generals yet. Trump doesn’t draw his own maps. RFK is not part of defense discussions. Can go on and on. GP can muster so much sensational crap in such a few words. GP makes FR website look so juvenile.
Well, our guy has won. Yay!
Now, we have to watch what this administration does.
RFK Jr. shouldn’t have made that information public, unless Trump asked him to.
It is important to note that Vice President Harris, in her debate with President Trump, made the following claim: “And as of today, there is not one member of the United States Military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.”
In 2019, candidate Joe Biden promised his White House would end “forever wars” like Iraq and would “reassert American leadership” to combat authoritarianism and global instability, which he said are proliferating under President Donald Trump.
Gun grabbing Biden hands tens of billions in aid and arms to Ukraine:
<><> air defense capabilities,
<><>air-to-ground weapons,
<><>munitions for rocket systems
<><>artillery,
<><>armored vehicles,
<><>anti-tank weapons,
<><>and more.
WOW, good news!
Agreed: this is juvenile clickbait nonsense.
I doubt she could draw the outline of Michigan from memory using her left hand as a template
NATO should be eliminated.
It is a vast, bloated, ineffective bureaucracy that guaranteed the USA would be meddling in politics of 30+ nations
Replace it with a security alliance among the USA, Germany, France, and maybe the UK and Italy. That’s it
What to disarm the ME of relevance on the world state and hundred of billions of US dollars?
Drill baby drill. Here there everywhere OUTSIDE the ME
GP’s usual flair for the hyperbolic aside, RFK is literally saying on Tucker Carlson’s interview that Trump hand drew the map. So in this instance if there is any sensationalism it would be on the part of RFK, Jr. Are you implying RFK, Jr. is being sensationalist here?
Then I stand corrected on RFK actually saying that, but if all the other impossible details are true, then yes RFK is the sensationalist here. Still doesn’t absolve GP of posting idiotic and untrue crap everday.
