Trump is being undermined by senior generals and officials in the Pentagon, his own State Department and the CIA when he orders a withdrawal of American troops and tries to make a deal with the Taliban. America simply does not belong on that alien quagmire . You cannot pull people out of the 9th century and into the 21st by force.
Alsowould not be suprised if indeed the Russians ordered a bounty on Americans. Imagine for a minute you were a young Soviet officer in Afghanistan in 1985 and you saw your men and aircraft killed and destroyed by American supplied arms and aid. Now today you are in the field with Russian intelligence. You might be seeking some revenge. Most people would.
If Trump gets firm control of the levers of power in his second term, he will be able to get out of this quagmire.
Only if he cashiers every general promoted by the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Yes revenge. Which is exactly why we supplied the weapons that killed the Russians. They did the same to us in Vietnam and worse. Problem with revenge is it never ends.
