From the very start, Trump had no issues abandoning the Kurds, but ending the embargo on Syria's oil was another story.

What's the best word to describe the War in Afghanistan?
Pointless? Destructive? Wasteful? Criminal?

When it comes to Afghanistan, one headline sums it up better than all the others.

America isn't the only country bombing Iraq, but Israel is the only country that is bombing Iraqi military forces.

President Trump appears to be on the verge of actually doing something good with his presidency, and ending the endless quagmire that is our occupation of Afghanistan.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing civilians in Yemen (and covering it up) for four years. Yet they haven't come anywhere close to taking back the capital of Sanaa.
The Saudi's most notable victory was defeating the Houthi assault on the old capital city of former state of South Yemen - Aden.

At least that is where it appears we are headed.

The ignorance of Americans about the rest of the world has been the subject of jokes for decades.
However, that ignorance isn't funny when it gets us into wars.
For instance, Trump's approach appears to be to apply more and more pressure to Iran, bringing us closer and closer to war, in order to force them to negotiate from a position of weakness.

Because Trump watches Fox News, Fox has an oversized influence on our foreign policy.
So it matters that Trump is being told that war with Iran, for the first time in history, won't mean people being killed.

The Trump administration has decided to use the 2001 AUMF to justify attacking Iran.

Parties be damned, money be damned, nations be damned, religions be damned.

Peace to all people,

let the bells ring.

"War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing."
