re: #400 Targetpractice

I’m curious as to how Trump’s gonna sell bailing on Afghanistan after years of going after Obama over our “retreat” from Iraq. Last I checked, Afghanistan is even less stable and the threat of the government being overthrown is higher.

I am so not shocked that there is not a single person amongst trump’s expert advisors who know at least a modicum of recent ME history to understand that NO ONE WINS in Afghanistan.
Ever.

Add to that the fact that Russia is backing the Taliban now…goes to show that even Putin didn’t learn a damned thing when, last time it tried to be the bad ass player, the Soviet Union lost everything in Afghanistan…and that happened during his own adult lifetime.
