re: Trump says he is going to get Bagram Air Base back in a "Trade Deal"

So what’re we going to give the Taliban in trade? This is why I want him at the debates. He needs to be asked how he’s going to get things done when he comes up with these ideas. Stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours? Cool. How?

This could something like food and medical supplies and I wouldn’t have much of a problem with that. But it could be money or military aid and that’s an entirely different discussion.

He also wants the base back to strike China’s nuclear missile production sites that are an hour away. Anyone want to comment on that?

First off he just went stream of consciousness again and said something stupid. It's all crap but I'm enjoying watching Trumpsters try to justify it. He was rambling about Biden and Afghanistan and then threw out the Bagram thing because it sounded good without thinking it through at all.

That said it clearly is a mistake because it is so asinine. I mean in a vacuum having this awesome military base able to hit so many spots sounds great. It was an asset we had for sure. That said once we decided we wanted out of Afghanistan the need for it dropped off significantly and the practicality of keeping it dropped to zero. Anyone defending it is either showing they are a complete cultist or a complete idiot. We are more likely to re-install the Shah and go back to pre Mullah Iran than we are to be able to make Bagram functional again.

Trump and his minions simply refuse to take an L though so I'm enjoying watching them try to make sense of this. I hope it keeps going.
