Trump's war in Afghanistan update: Taliban and ISIS join forces, kill 50

[Ted Frazier]

As you may know, it is not President Trump's job to handle the war in Afghanistan (because he is the US President).
Things are going extremely bad, as now even the Taliban is joining ISIS in the fight against USA-allied Afghans.

This is only part of why Trump's approval is bad. He is a very bad foreign-policy President.

"trumps war"

 

[Dschrute3]

Should have left Afghanistan years ago. Countless $Billions in American Taxpayer cash has been flushed over there. There is no clear objective in continuing the longest war in US History. Soldiers have no idea why they're over there at this point. They don't see a clear logical objective.

Bin Laden's dead and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan has been routed. So why are we still there? Everyone should watch the movie 'War Machine.' It stars Brad Pitt and can be seen on NetFlix. It really is a good movie. It tells the sad truth about what's going on in Afghanistan. That war is over. It's time to come home.

The only reason the Dems wanted us back in Afghanistan was to keep the Poppy Fields running.
Then Obama turned loose thousands of drug dealers from prison and now we have a Heroin epidemic.

I don't know much about that, but clearly there must be resources to plunder in Afghanistan. That has to be the reason we're still there. Nothing else makes much sense. It is time to turn the page on Afghanistan. Time to come home.

I believe we should have left Afghanistan years ago, and keep in mind that this 'report' comes from CNN. We all know it's one of the more notorious MSM Fake News Outlets. Many on its payroll are on the C.I.A.'s payroll as well. It's called the Government/Corporate Media for a reason. Its standing orders are to always promote the Permanent War Agenda. So i wouldn't be too quick to go all-in on their propaganda.

Yes.....but if Trump tries to pull us out, which he's trying to do, John McCain and others will start attacking him.
I'm sure they have a bunch of leaks ready to be released once he gives the order.

Obama was too big a pussy to defeat ISIS, and in fact he was a major player in their creation. He also proved that he had no intention of defeating them. Those are facts.

As POUS Obama wore diapers. As POUS Trump is teaching our enemies how to go potty on the paper.

50 over what period of time?

Lost that war years ago. Trump had nothing to do with it. We lost it when we decided on permanent occupation. Bin Laden's dead, and Al Qaeda has been routed. So why are we still there? My advice to Trump, would be to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. There's nothing more to be gained there.

Just read where an idea is being floated to use 5,800 Blackstone ex-special ops guy to take over the role of NATO troops. Cost way less and they'll be operating under Afghan orders.

This thread is proof of how stupid some of you people are. A war started by Bush, continued for 8 years by Obama and 200 days into a new administration you call it his war.

That war was won years ago then lost shortly thereafter. Trump has nothing to do with its current state.

Only a buffoon would think he could have any meaningful impact in a few months

Russians may also be supplying arms to the Taliban. The head of US forces in Afghanistan says this and new pictures suggest it may be true.

First it was Bush's War. Then it was Obama's War. Now it is Trump war. As simple as that.
Bush and Obama are not presidents anymore, and therefore Trump is in charge of handling the war in Afghanistan, unless he withdraws.

How long will it be until we can say that this is Trump's war, in your opinion?

I don't disagree but the current state of the war is on the rules laid out by the last administration. As I stated, TRUMP has not had time to have any meaningful impact on our current mess
