That is why Trump is head and shoulders above Reagan, Bush-41, Bush-43. Those 3 did not understand the folly of fighting in middle-east.

We will not be rid of them until Jesus returns. It all started with Ishmael, the son of Hagar, Abram's concubine:
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
—Genesis 16:12

Bold statement. Absolutely correct.

My parents were saying this in the ‘60s!

Indeed. Reagan sent marines to Lebanon, but he also pulled them out as soon as he saw what a mess it was.

Most other presidents would have made the wrong choice, doubled down on our involvement, and got us stuck for decades.

” I wish we never went in. The biggest mistake we made in the history of our country was going into the Middle East.”

I’m betting a lot of Americans have been thinking that after this week. I’ve been saying it for decades. Forget that ‘nation building’ nonsense, it won’t work in most countries.

Oil. The only reason anyone ever gave two shits about The Middle East. Energy independence removes that care.

Afghanistan isn’t really even a country.
It’s a tribal shithole of inbred Islamic savages.

I think Trump’s foreign policy is easily the best of the U.S presidents in my life time*.

Sure hope he gets into office again because very few get it like he does..

*I was only very young and not politically aware to know much about Reagan’s but the fact is he had a scumbag as VP.

I don’t mean to sound FRazi on this, but isn’t Afghanistan in Asia?

Did he dismantle all military bases from middle-east? Not that I am aware of. I recall Marines were attacked in Lebanon during his 8 years.

trump is wrong!

The slaughter of 60 million or more babies innocent in the room it’s legalization and it’s protection as well as the nurturing of those who believe that it’s OK OK.

That is our country’s biggest mistake.

Trump is WRONG here.

The BIGGEST mistake was allowing the Derp State Big Tech Global Cabal to STEAL the 2020 election.

We're seeing the DEADLY consequences of it right now.

No shyt. That exactly what it is.. Tribalistan.
Trying to make those religious fanatics into a democratic country is harder than trying to straighten a dog’s tail.
