Then go golfing.

What was the goal from the get go? Like what is it? Not even trolling. I have never seen a quantifiable goal since this shit show began. As a side note, Mattis who is someone I respect was giddy at the fact that trump has not set any hard timelines. Shit like this makes it hard for me not to believe in a jingoistic military industrial complex that siphons off gibs for nebulous, pointless wars.

>>34930762
If he was smart, he'd tell us we're pulling out.

But the military industrial complex and warmongers like John McCain won't allow it.

>>34931046
The goal? To secure control mineral rights. China wants Afghanistan's lithium.

>>34931069
Trump is the Commander in Chief. He gets to make the decision to pull out if he wants to. When was the last time Trump gave a shit about what McCain thought. Trump is part of that swamp he told you he'd drain. He isn't draining it. The military industrial complex and their lobbyists aren't going anywhere and they need continued military conflicts in order to continue raking in money.

Maybe one day you guys will realize that Trump played you.

>>34931070
I have heard that before. I mean are there are any companies that actually have started mining rare earth there? I believe it to an extent but I think the opium funding is a better example of something believable.

>>34931088
>funding opium
Why? It's cheaper and easier to get it from the cartels in Mexico and South America.

>>34931080
I didn't vote for Trump, and if you read what I said you'd see

>If he was smart

Trump is not smart, he's a fucking clown. He's going to keep the US in Afghanistan because he easily succumbs to pressure and has no principles.

Besides, Trump likes "winning", and pulling out of Afghanistan would not be "winning". That's damaging to his Jupiter-sized ego.

>>34931093
Yeah but they sell it to Asian and European countries

>>34931118
For instance Russia. The irony of all this is if >>34930882 was right we'd bomb those fields and pull out.

>>34930762
Same shit, no solution

>>34931316
could just kill everyone there. that'd solve things.

>>34931103
>Trump is not smart, he's a fucking clown.

>>34931417

>SMART ENOUGH TO GET INTO OFFICE!!!

All that took was people dumb enough to vote for him, kiddo ;^)

>smart enough to get into office

So was every other dogshit president we ever had. The propensity of the public to vote for you (over a historically unpopular opponent that says jack shit about your intelligence.

>>34931103
>Trump is not smart
I'd disagree. Donald Trump is smart, and that's not a good thing. Give me an idiot for a president any day; An idiot can't manipulate politics, an idiot can't fuck a country up as bad as anybody with brain cells could.
We're just lucky he doesn't actually seem to give a shit about anything other than paying lip service to his voter base while getting in the news for whatever CRAZY OUTRAGEOUS TOTALLY UNPRESIDENTIAL thing that he's done this week. He doesn't want to be a politician, he wants to be the star of a new reality show. Why else would he basically be playing The Apprentice with all of his staff?

>>34931706
Ford wasn't.

>>34931713
Nah, he's just a born huckster. You don't have to be smart to be a con man, though it helps. A smart man wouldn't defend Nazis or constantly bring up repealing Obamacare, but his fragile ego won't let him save him from himself.

>>34931668
yup yup, bet on it

>>34931733

>le defend Nazis meme

Cool, show me again exactly where he straight up defended Nazis?

>Okay the terrorists here are gone.
>Next stop - Syria

>>34931714
Heh, fair

>>34931103
>Trump is STUUUUUUUUUUPID!!!
>ignore how he became president despite everything being in his opponents favor

I love the amount of cognitive dissonance that Trump causes liberals.

>>34931046
He's likely giddy because he's a realistic thinker and not a yes man. Mattis knows that setting arbitrary timetables for troop pullouts doesn't go hand in hand with forming a strategy to actually achieve goals before you leave.

>>34931892
>everything was against him and in his opponent's favor lol

No, it fucking wasn't lol. The media covered him far better than his opponent relative to their individual behaviors, to the point where the average voter thought he was more on the issues than she was. It was just a Republican's time to shine after 8 years of Obama. I have no idea why you Trump people can't ever seem to be middle of the road.

>>34931932

Even Fox news tried to take him down at one point.

If its so easy, why don't you go ahead and run?

We are going to win, bigly!

I guarantee it! Its going to be great!

When has Fox News ever tried to take him down? I say this as someone that only watches Fox when there's an event on. They seem to have been running coverage for him since he started winning primaries. I've never heard of Fox News trotting out a negative narrative about him

Honestly I plan on running for local office at some point in my life so you're talking to the wrong anon

>>34931932
>The media covered him far better than his opponent relative to their individual behaviors, to the point where the average voter thought he was more on the issues than she was.

Trump's campaign was more on the issues, Hillary's campaign was based on attacking Trump. Crawl out of your echo chamber and read some studies on the election.

>>34931991
>believing both candidates didn't run roughly the same campaign

>y-you're just in an echo chamber

Lol alright. I see who I'm talking to

>>34931787
Don't play stupid.

>>34932023
Show proof or gtfo fagit

>>34932034
His lack of condemnation was no less than a tacit approval

>>34932034
The proof is in his poll numbers. A dog whistle is a dog whistle is a dog whistle.

Well we're way past the point of /k/, but you're either willingly obtuse or mentally deficient to not understand why he chose the words he chose, or the mindset that led him down that path to begin with.

Hint: there's a reason why Trump is obsessed with his "genes".

>I've never heard of Fox News trotting out a negative narrative about him
Fox News has 50 percent hateboner for Trump, per Harvard University research done on him. (The same one that says CNN hates him 90% of the time)
Watch Shep Smith (the whole afternoon segment) and you see he hates Trump.
All the Sunday Show neocons hate Trump. Half of the people interviewed for opinions hate Trump.

You CLEARLY do not watch Fox News.

If you're on /k/ and didn't vote for Trump, you hate the 2nd amendment, btw.

>>34932045
He condemned them several times, by name even.
But what he said was TECHNICALLY CORRECT.
Both sides came for a fight, and the racist people actually had a permit.
THE FUCKING ACLU FOUGHT IN COURT TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY.

The ACLU don't like Trump and even they said 1st Amendment protects peaceful rallies. The counter-protesters who went there didn't even have permits.

>>34932141

>>34932146
>If you're on /k/ and didn't vote for Trump, you hate the 2nd amendment, btw.
Maybe we just don't like gun grabbing fascists who claim to have found religion just before the election?

>>34932146
>He condemned them several times, by name even.
Many sides.
>But what he said was TECHNICALLY CORRECT.
That's your defense?
>The counter-protesters who went there didn't even have permits.
Yes they did.

You don't have to suck his dick all the time. He's allowed to fuck up, he's only human. Probably.

>>34932105
>You CLEARLY do not watch Fox News

Well thanks anon. I'm sure you have good habits and practices as well

Regardless of result, voting for Trump is one of the best things I never did

>>34932188
Has he grabbed any guns yet? The only gun-related thing he's done is select what seems to be the most conservative SCOTUS Justice in 25 years.

>>34932188

Not that Anon, but...

>But what he said was TECHNICALLY CORRECT.
>That's your defense?

He's right you know. Trump came out, said the Nazis and KKK were trash, then basically calls out the Antifa psychos for being psychos.

But because he said the violence was to blame on both sides, which it was, people lost their shit.

>>34930762
As much as I would enjoy for us to pull out from Afghanistan, I think doing so will just lead to a resurgence of terror groups using the country as a planning base to attack the West.
Aside from nuking the place, I don't think there's any easy solution for this.

>>34932230
They've already got Iran, Syria, Iraq, and the entire Arabian Peninsula. What does it matter if they've got Afghanistan too?

oh fuck off you pathetic retards, people who cannot even tell when they are genuinely prejudiced against a fat old white guy.

>>34931046
It's because modern day civilization cannot thrive without stealing resources from countries like the ones in the Middle East.

Why do you think we're starting shit with North Korea?

>>34932276
>if you disagree with Trump then you're prejudiced

>>34932213
No, he waited for days and finally made a statement where he tried to equivocate people who are unambiguous trouble-makers and the people defending them, and then he more or less washed his hands of that idiot running people down with his car. Then he flew off the fucking handle when people accused him of backtracking, because God forbid he could ever be wrong once.

And beyond that, where the fuck was he when that mosque was bombed in Minnesota? He's fucking quick to the trigger when it's a muslim doing the attacking, but when it's a white guy he clams the fuck up (like in Quebec City).

>>34932205
He hasn't done much of anything except gut the parts of the government he doesn't understand and don't affect him.

>>34932253
Well, aside from the fact that none of that is true, it makes us look weak if we can't end an insurgency once and for all.

This is Vietnam all over again: eventually people get tired of sending their sons off to die and we come running home with our tails between our legs. At least the Soviets built up Kabul before pulling out.

Holy fuck you nitwit, take a look at global terror reports and just how many groups there are and where they are all located.

>>34932086
Funny hearing that from someone who guzzles CNN cock.

>>34932475
They don't have "Iran, Syria, Iraq, and the entire Arabian Peninsula", they control some of them or in the case of Iran are merely funded by them.

It's not unprecedented. There was a car crash in NY last month into a crowd at Times Square that turned out nothing more than a DUI during the day.

>>34932253
The thing with those other countries, we have counter-terror police units that are effective in rooting out the terrorists and getting HUMINT. We leave Afghanistan, we lose that ability.

>>34932827
As if this DOJ would charge any white person with terrorism.

>>34931591

McVeigh would like a word with you, retard.

>>34930762
"It's bad over there folks, let me tell you. Afghanistan is a huge mess, and I've inherited it from the Obamas and the Bushes. But 5,000 of our brave troops, men and women, have died trying to help those people. We've spent 7 trillion dollars, trillion, in the Arab world and it hasnt made a difference because we keep helping the wrong people. Weve helped them grow opium, gave them the fertilizer to do it. And let me tell you, it's all not been smart."

>>34932827
They have terrorism charges in Virginia now?

In any case, he's being charged with (as far as I can see):

Second-degree murder,
Five counts of malicious wounding,
Three counts of aggravated malicious wounding
and Failure to stop in an accident that resulted in death.

>>34931070
? The US has no mineral rights to anything in Afghanistan so obviously the war wasn't about that

The war was about ONE THING ONLY
Restarting the opium trade which has bene controlled by jews for centuries
The Taliban in 2001 banned the opium trade in Afghanistan
Bam, invaded

Fox news is run by liberals and there is only like 2-3 pro-trump shows

He should get off
He's certainly not guilty of any failure to stop since his car was being actively attacked by terrorists
His car was being attacked BEFORE he started moving, and his brakes were on when he went into the crowd

Also the fat woman likely died of unrelated things to being hit by a car.

What about the surge like in Iraq? Wasn't Iraq going very shit until Bush sent a fuckton of troops to it? It wasn't until Obama came in and brought them all home while saying ISIS is the J.V. team and called it a day. Would a true troop surge like the one in Iraq do good in Afghanistan?

The prosecutors do, and they're the ones who filed the charges based on the evidence they have.

All I'm saying is the "he hit the brakes" meme is asinine.

>>34933416
We have the pictures with brake lights on

As if whites aren't railroaded in court every single day in these blue states/cities? The mayor of charlottesville is a fucking jew who caused the violence in the first place by deliberately forced the "Nazi's" into the crowds of violent communists. Police were ordered to stand down to let fighting happen.

The driver is a schizophrenic, likely just a patsy.

It's not a coincidence that all this shit happened afterwards, everything is a planned out charade in politics.
