Trump to lay out U.S. strategy for Afghanistan on Monday night

>President Donald Trump will lay out his long-awaited U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan in a prime-time television address to the American people on Monday night, the White House said on Sunday, with a modest increase in U.S. troops possible.
>A White House statement said Trump's 9 p.m. (0100 GMT Tuesday) speech from Fort Myer, Virginia, near Washington, would "provide an update on the path forward for America's engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia."

Nope, just like the climate agreement. He will pull out.

Trumps pull out game is too strong.

Fine, but what do I do when he announces more "military advisors" or whatever sent there?
>>
What a fucking idiot. Eisenhower bought the boat and every fucking president since has been throwing more money into the ocean trying to get that boat seaworthy. If Trump doesn't announce that we're pulling out then he's just as dumb as the rest of them.

We either need to pull out 100% (best option) or ensure that we have enough of a presence (ok option). Trump didn't start this war, to lay the blame on him now is absurd.
>>
i honestly liked the PMC idea
>>
He's doing this announcement at fort Meyers, I can't see him announcing withdrawal/ no further engagement there BUT if he did I would think about getting onboard again. It would be a huge fuck you to McCuckster and every other faggot that gets hard to the prospect of military engagement. The wall will have to start going up for real and have another /our guy/ in the WH for me to be comfy on he trump train again. If he announces the 4,000 more troops saying we're going to "finish what we started" (just like Obama did in 09) I'll know the presidency is over.

What exactly is the objective in Afghanistan?

If we pulled out, what would we lose? The favor of shekelshysters?

If we blitzed it, what would we win? More military contracts? What is the actual purpose of occupying Afghanistan for over a decade? Whatever narrative you prefer, Bin Laden is long dead. Isn't that "mission accomplished?"

He can't pull out.

He has gotten completely cucked and assimilated by the Globalists and the establishment. I warned the entire time that this would happen, and you all called me CTR and "shill" and all of that BS, but now it turns out I was right all along.

Trump is a lying, backstabbing NY-kike real estate shyster who has betrayed every single campaign promise he ever ran on.

Afghanistan is not Iraq. Trump is trying to uncluster the fucking mess that Obama left by pulling out troops too early.

It's better we spend another ten years there and have it be somewhat of a success story than just make it a legacy of US foreign inetervention incompetetance

Taliban control, what it was before we invaded.

What was the other option? If obama would not have ended it than no one would have.

McCain was correct, this is a 100 year war.

>>138486267

Troop numbers don't mean shit, it's the strategy. What is he planning with these extra troops? There's around 5'000 already with an additional 8'000 NATO troops. What the fuck is an extra 4'000 going to do, guard Opium fields?

A few thousand troops positioned and equipped for mission specific COIN would be of next to fuck all use to cross the border into China. Expecially when you entire Divisions set up for that kind of task sitting in South Korea and Japan.

Instead of pussy-footing around for 16 years like Bush and Obama did, it's very likely that we'll see a decisive victory and pull out of almost all warfare personnel, leaving Afghanistan in a similar position to South Korea.

I'm not seeind Trump going "into Iran" but he is openly hostile to Iran his whole campaign. If you aren't aware I can fetch the articles mentioning it, including how he would solve the "kidnapping" of American personnel (not paying a planeload in unmarked cash) or provocation at the persian gulf (shooting across the bow)

Afganistan is the opium field of the world. It still produces most of the worlds opium with all the military hardware stationed there.
All the members of nato and shit.
I wouldn't mind if they burned the opium fields at least. It would be good target practice for the rookies. If not the occupation is nothing but insincere.
Afganistan occupation is the opium wars of our time. All but in name.

He may also pull a big surprise rabbit out of the hat during the nationally televised address announcing indictments on some criminals.
