Trump Is Smarter Than the Generals

By Christopher Roach

FTA:
Trump inherited this war where we were simultaneously fighting ISIS and the regime with the help of the so-called Free Syrian Army. At first, he defined the mission more narrowly, focusing on eradicating ISIS. This too was controversial, but few could argue with the desirability of defeating ISIS. Most aid to anti-regime rebel groups ended, and the combination of U.S. forces, the Syrian Arab Army, and the Russians fighting alongside the Syrian Arab Army, reduced ISIS from a quasi-state to a ragtag band fighting for survival.

While the U.S. did engage in punitive attacks on the Syrian regime after its alleged gas attacks, under Trump it has almost exclusively focused on ISIS, the only enemy that has threatened American and European security. Where Obama succeeded only in prolonging the civil war and giving birth to ISIS, Trump narrowed his focus and effectively achieved the goal of defeating ISIS.

Having succeeded in this mission, why should our troops stay?

Deep State Caught: “So She Lied. BFD. No One At DOJ Is Going To Prosecute.”

FTA:
This is sure to get your blood pressure spiking. (yet again) So many have said so many times how the rules don’t apply to certain globalist politicians, right? Well, here are some FBI agents communicating that very thing regarding Hillary Clinton’s closet confidante, Huma Abedin, after thousands of classified/critical docs were found on her unsecured laptop – and she lied about it. (A BIG no-no.) This was near the end of the 2016 campaign. Huma was photographed on the Clinton campaign in tears. (She knew she was in big-big trouble.) Then, inexplicably, all that trouble went away. -Poof- Vanished. No doubt the Clintons called in some big favors to some high-ranking Deep State officials and Huma and Hillary were off the hook – again. Check it out for yourself…

Memo graphic here

“No one at DOJ is going to prosecute.”

A non-secure laptop. Classified docs exposed. Lies. These are all offenses that far exceed anything, say, Michael Flynn has been accused of by the Mueller investigation. Flynn’s life was turned upside down. He’s facing bankruptcy defending himself.

As for Huma and Hillary – nothing. The FBI agent’s comments make it so very clear – they were all given the stand down order. It didn’t matter what they found, how many times Huma lied about it, NOTHING WAS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

That’s not a free and fair society. That’s a two-teir system by which some don’t have to follow the rules applied to everyone else. That’s the world of the Clintons, the Obamas, and all those within the Deep State who are now attacking the outsider Trump White House.

If that doesn’t make you angry then you don’t deserve America. You deserve whatever it is America’s enemies intend to replace her with.

I don’t know is this has been posted already, forgive me if so.
Thomas Wictor latest:

James Mattis to Resign as Secretary of Defense
What Did He Say in His Letter

As for seeing Russia and China as threats, Trump oversaw the most serious MILITARY defeat the US ever inflicted on the Russian empire, the USSR or the Russian Federation.

February 7, 2018. Dear Ezzor, Syria.

An assault battalion of 550 Russians attacked about 40 Americans. We killed 200-300 and wounded 200-300. The Russians suffered 100 percent casualties. It’s clear that the Russians were set up. They were told that the Americans would retreat and let Assad reclaim the nearby oil fields. Officially, the US used multirole jet fighters, B-52 strategic bombers, AC-130 gunships, Apache helicopter gunships, and US Marine precision-guided artillery.

If we used B-52s and AC-130s, they would’ve had to fly from Qatar and Djibouti respectively.

The trips would’ve taken hours, and the aircraft would’ve had to refuel.

That means that either the aircraft were already on station, or the aircraft were not American.

Trump and Saudi Arabia have been working together for years now. Obviously Mattis knows about these operations. US Today reports that Mattis resigned because Trump ordered our troops out of Syria against Mattis’s wishes.

Well, guess what?

“The U.S. military constructed a new base in the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governoratet this week, despite Donald Trump’s announcement that American troops would be withdrawing from Syria.

“According to local reports from the Deir Ezzor province, the U.S. military constructed a new base west of the former Islamic State stronghold of Hajin.”

My guess is that Mattis’s resignation letter is his last act of military deception (MILDEC). It’s intended to make Trump’s enemies think he’s losing control of his presidency.

“It’s always great to be underestimated” said Donald John Trump before he was elected.

Those who underestimate him often don’t live to regret it.

ADDENDUM:
Under James Mattis, this was the Pentagon Website.

Note the mission statement.
