We maintained BAF and KAF to keep the airfields secure. That expanded under Trump. Now let’s get started on Africa and what our troop presence has done there since Trump. Fun fact, it didn’t go down... If trump doesnt end the wars like he says I'll be the first to turn on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have done the same thing on the same timeline and did it like an adult who lets his leaders and allies know first. The end result is what matters though. If he gets all troops out of Syria and Afg, that is a huge positive and he deserves credit for having the spine to tell the MIC to get fucked. Did you read his resignation letter? Seems like he was saying the US is no longer a trusted ally with Trump calling the shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkevsdi Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Sometimes it's good idea to work with your allies to make major moves. In retrospect most countries probably wished they had told the US to fuck off instead of joining them in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump's knee-jerk reactions to distract from his failing fiscal policies should make your allies smarter next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted December 21, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 So the 🤡 Posse values the decisions of a draft dodgier with fake heel spurs over a General with 40 years experience? The Kurds have been serving along side us and now we are going to leave them high and dry.......it’s not the action but how the action is being executed. The lesson is Dumpers will without a doubt eat a shit sandwich if Dump tells you to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
