Trump has completely lost it! He's trying to end our Forever Wars. That's insane!

President Trump has clearly lost what is left of his mind.
He doesn't want to end just one Forever War. He's aiming at ending THREE Forever Wars.
No one but a madman would ever consider such insanity!

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said Tuesday the U.S. will reduce troop levels in Iraq and Afghanistan by mid-January, asserting that the decision fulfills President Donald Trump’s pledge to bring forces home from America’s long wars even as Republicans and U.S. allies warn of the dangers of withdrawing before conditions are right.

The plan will accelerate troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan in Trump’s final days in office, despite arguments from senior military officials in favor of a slower, more methodical pullout to preserve hard-fought gains.

Make no mistake, both political parties are against ending the wars, and as we all know the entire spectrum of reasonable political thought is encompassed by the two political parties. Any ideas not embraced by one of the political parties is by definition wacky, unreasonable, utopian, not pragmatic, and pointless to even consider.
And when you also include the media and the generals you have everyone that counts in this country supporting the wars. So if you don't support the wars what's wrong with you?

These wars are all in their teenage years, which is a very delicate age. These wars have difficulty with self-confidence, so we should not be undermining their self-esteem by telling them they shouldn't exist. That poor parentage.

And who does Trump think he is, pulling troops out of Iraq. It's not like Iraq asked us to leave several times. Well okay they did ask us to leave several times, that doesn't mean we have to listen to them.
Trump wants to pull troops out of Somalia. Somalia?! If we can't bomb Somalia who can we bomb?
The American media was quick to point out that as the news broke that we were pulling troops out of Somalia, there was a terrorist attack. Obviously terrorists wouldn't have attacked if we weren't pulling troops out. Because Somalia never gets attacked unless we're pulling troops out, I guess.

On the plus side, Trump is considering starting a war with Iran, and virtually everyone in Washington or the media support it.

Time to forget greivances half a century old. We forgave Japan for Pearl Harbor and handed them our once thriving radio and tv business on a silver platter. Of course, the proles had good jobs in those industries. Can't let proles have good jobs, can we? They might think they were human instead of the lower animals that we are.

I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.

Jared Kushner could be sent on a tour of the Balkans, meet an untimely end in Sarajevo, and Trump declares war on Serbia... and Austria.

It's going to be an 'interesting' couple of months.

He could have done a whole lot of lefty things as well as all those rightwing deals. He could have worked on actual plans to help people, which would have gotten us on his side. I guess it wouldn't have enriched him and his friends, though.

Meanwhile he's insane. I see he just fired the DHS dude in charge of election security because the guy said...well, not what Trump wanted said.

And I guess that insanity is why Trump couldn't work both sides at the same time. It's not hard. I could do it. You could do it.

but maybe Trump is leaving one last little trap for Biden. On Jan. 21st he will announce a massive surge in Iraq and Afghanistan and Somalia. From then on he will own three wars - and the civilian casualties for when protestors are killed in Portland or someplace like that. Of course only a bloodthirsty homic - no, genocidal maniac would order Biden to fall into such an obvious trap.

this is something good.

Even though we know the the USA is defined by little more that our Military and Pharma, still it feels terrific if it seems possible, if not probable, that we can do something other than invade occupy and destroy.

Instead of all the money I wasted on Bernie and Obama.
On Clinton (WJC), I just wasted my time, besides it was fun working on a big campaign. Everyone should try it first.
