It appears that the military/industrial/political complex wants us to continue the war in Afghanistan. How do you feel about that?
Trump will do it. The same Democrats who railed against the military/industrial complex back in the 60's, are now giving them a reach-around.
the military industrial complex issue goes all the
way back to Eisenhower. The strung-out slobs of
today are not exactly on the same page as were the
strung out slobs of the 60s.------except for SOROS---who -----if we are lucky will exit in the manner of

I certainly supported going to to bomb the fuck out of AQ after 9/11, but this 20 year nation building crap has to stop. At least President Trump is drawing it down, same with Iraq.It appears that the military/industrial/political complex wants us to continue the war in Afghanistan. How do you feel about that?
We'll be there forever.
We have Afghan veterans who are sending their kids off to do the same patrols that they did.

Years after they fought in Afghanistan, US troops watch as their children deploy to the same war
āWhen we started this, people asked why I was going, and my response was, āSo my sons donāt have to fight this war,āā said Master Sgt. Trevor deBoer, who has deployed to Afghanistan three times.www.stripes.com
Its nuts.
Surely, the United States will think twice about intervening in another nation keeping the Afghan example in the front of our minds and knowing we can go in but we can never get out....right?
No. $700+ Billion spending--per year--in defense spending has to result in something. You're seeing it.
The Obama bin Biden Regime expanded with new wars, funding terrorists in Libya and Syria. They created ISIS, they caused the Syrian civil war to blow up and caused the refugee crisis. President Trump has refused to declare a regime change on Assad and is trying to get us out. Of course when he announced troop pullouts the left went berserk, claiming we were āabandoning alliesā. Even after the Chemical Weapons hoax attack (perpetrated by rebels, not Assad) he refused to go to war. Thatās when they decided to do the impeachment scam.
Iāll stick to the man who in the last four years kept his word, no new stupid wars, and no war in Syria to remove Assad. Iāll stick with the guy signing ME peace deals instead of new wars.
You can vote for warmonger Biden, who has voted yes for every war and will do as he is told by the Washington Establishment that wants more wars.
We'll never leave the Middle East. Never. Why? Oil. The West needs it. We could try to use electric or hybrid vehicles exclusively or mandate higher fuel standards. But we know who is against that.
The blob had 4 years to get us out. He hasn't. He won't.
Meanwhile, it looks like we're building bases in Syria. I'm sure we won't have troops at those bases.

US Forces Reportedly Building New Base in Northeast Syria
There are about 500 troops in the area who, according to US officials, are protecting the regionās oil fields and preventing IS from reemergingwww.voanews.com
We're not leaving there either.
Bullshit, President Trump got us off our dependence on ME oil.
Keep in mind President also had to mop up Obamaās mess called ISIS for his first year or two. You may have forgotten about them, since President Trump wiped them off the map and out of existence. Isnāt it nice to not read about new terror attacks carried out in Europe every other week? All thanks to President Trumpās peaceful ME policies. But letās end all that peace and vote for Biden!
Ummm no...ISIS is still around

After Setbacks, ISIS Ramps Up Attacks
Despite the loss of its territory, the Islamic State still poses a global security threat with its worldwide reach, experts say.www.asisonline.org
When the terrorists hit us in a few years, you'll be the first to say that we should have never reduced our forces in the Middle East.
We'll always be there because of the oil. Nothing else. It's crazy, I agree with those who think we should pull out every troop myself.
it is silly to believe that the ONLY economic issue for the USA and the Middle East is OIL. Shipping is VERY IMPORTANT-----the issue for out enemies is SHIPPING ROUTES
Shipping routes for the oil...
We're fine. Our allies and alliances need the oil more than we do. In a world economy, the price we pay at the pump depends on whether those shipping lanes stay open.
shipping for EVERYTHING we ship and they ship
