I cannot bear to watch Trump bend the knee to the neocons tonight

The Republican party simply cannot shift away from 70 year old men who believe weed is the devil and that we need to add more troops to the middle east. Sad.

He's nothing if not shallow and vain. Guess the coverage of his administration has finally made him look for allies and the bad ideas that come with them.

That's because deep down, that's what the majority of their base crave perceived law and order and American hegemony regardless of cost.

There is no fricking way on god's green earth that the Taliban is a national security threat to the United States as they are currently constituted in Afghanistan.

How did Trump not get anything in return for this concession?

i second that statement.

That's not what I mean though. What the frick point is there in risking your life to destroy and then rebuild Afghanistan so that Halliburton and General Dynamics stocks can go up 40% instead of 20%?

How do you obtain a lasting peace deal with a group who believes it is their religious duty to expel you from their lands?

Like I said in one of my post last night, this is Trump compromising to the Deep State on the national security front. I'm frustrated too however he remains strong and very ideological on the populist nationalistic economic front. He obviously cannot fight both. He has to satiate the warmonger Deep State clan represented by McCain and Graham while he battles the economic Deep State cuck clan represented by Paul Ryan and McConnell.

He is killing it on the economic front. He has abolished TTP, put to bed TTIP, on the verge of abandoning the Iran deal, made deals with OPEC counties to keep oil prices low while we've become a major energy exporter and NAFTA re-negotiations are in progress and by proxy and directly with China.

Let the neocons have their little war just to keep them at bay while Trump puts his economic policies in place. Once these neocons Afghanistan plans fail and simultaneously the Trump economy is kicking arse (4% GDP) he will have a lot more political capital to pull out of Afghanistan. Hopefully that takes less than a year.
