Trumps 4000 troop Afghan surge contradicts what he said in 2011

>>138527376
they wanted 10,000 more troops (not sure from where). so 4000 seems more to just make NeoCohen's happy
if you haven't noticed the Republicucks refuse to vote on anything. If war makes them happy , Trump has to give them something to jack off too.
I'll assume the ROE are "kill everything" now that Trump is in charge though.

He hasn't said fucking shit yet, that speech is in 1.5 hours.

You're just brainwashed by the media outlets, how can they fucking know what he will say in 1.5 hours?

There needs to be an exit plan.
Tell the Afghan army to step up or face an ISIS beheading.

ISIS didn't come to prominence til 2014.

McMaster is pompous idiot. As if +4000 burgers on the ground could stabilizes a montainous desert populated by muzzie warlords who kill eachother since milleniums.

Trump may very well be trying a tit for tat approach here because he's used to that working in the private sector... The only problem is, businessmen are reasonable, politicians are not reasonable, they will demand you do everything they want and give you nothing, and if you refuse, they'll ignore you, impeach you, or Kennedy you, depending on how much you irritate them.

and 2015 comes after 2011, nice try though

wasnt he supposed to hold a HUGE press conference today according his plans with south asia?
where to see it?

>>138527376
You mean his opinion has been changed by six years and a wealth of new information? Man, that is shocking.

Ask an Afghan War vet anything

It's to provide the illusion that they are doing something. Like you said it won't do jack shit. They could send in 100k and mop the place up but as soon as they leave, it all goes back to shit. Why? Because they're not interested in western democratic values. The orange idiot understood this point and was one of the few things that made me like him but now he's turning full cuck.

Damn, it's almost as if a private citizen doesn't have access to the classified information the president would to make an informed decision on the matter in 2012 but was still expressing his grievances, but he does have access to all the information now since he's president

Will 4000 d00ds change anything?

Burn the poppies, salt the fields. Make whatever the fuck is going on with mining wholly transparent.

>>138528856

This. 4,000 changes nothing.

Just fucking withdraw. Why can't Pakistan send their army into Afghanistan? It's right there and their army is pretty big.
