I don’t think there is any doubt that he’s planning on pulling out. If he can broker a settlement with the Taliban of course he will, and leave the country more splintered that before. Essentially it will be Pakistan’s problem. Any aftermath will occur so far down the road it won’t matter to him.
The short term effect will be positive as American’s don’t want us to be in there half-@ssed.
This president cannot stomach war. He doesn’t accept it as his war, but the one he inherited.
Problem is, DON’T YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN BROKER A BETTER SETTLEMENT WITH 40,000 MORE TROOPS THERE THAN WITHOUT THEM?
In fact, why not put 60,000 in there, and broker a full settlement. Pound them into submission and then settle for peace.
This guy will always have it backwards. Naive, inexperienced, and cowardly. I doubt if he was ever in a street fight of any kind.
Can't do that. It might lead to victory.
