Trump wants US troops back in Afghanistan?

[Syntosi]

So, I just finished watching this video:

And now I am unable to stop myself from laughing. Like seriously, Trump is the master of doing the dumbest thing in the dumbest way possible.

So.. Not much to say about this madness. Did you have US troops back into Afghanistan on your Trump Bingo cards? What do you think would happen if US troops reoccupied Afghanistan territory? And lastly, do you think Trump will even manage to get troops back into Afghanistan or do you think China will be able to block him?

Honestly, this is endlessly fascinating to me and I can't wait to hear what your take on this situation is.

It's optics. It's a show. He's the executive producer. Project 2025 staff are running the show and placate the toddler.

[In_Trance]

America will only and always put troops wherever Israel tells them to put them

[dustybiker2]

Is he volunteering to go? Or is just the thought of it causing those old bone spurs to flare right back up?

[Syntosi]

I would pay a lot of money to see Trump go through PT or try make his own bed neatly enough that it can bounce a coin. But no, as with every other unqualified leader, he prefers sending other peoples children to die instead.

@Syntosi 👍🏻

[DarcyDuke]

Why did you choose to not tell people why he’s doing that?

[Syntosi]

I linked the video with further context and its not like it matters. Trump is serious about returning to Afghanistan which is insane by itself.

[DarcyDuke]

The video doesn’t play, and yes it matters

[Syntosi]

Well sorry that the video does not play for you but I hardly think that including "Trump lies about his justification because he wants to build a base to spy on the Chinese which in turn is aware of this plan and would never let it happen."

It just complicates the conversation and dont contribute anything new since its just another level of incompetence and mind-boggling stupidity.

[DarcyDuke]

Loll

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah? So? That asshole, Biden, should've left `em there!!!

[Syntosi]

Biden just honored the deal that Trump negotiated with the Taliban.

[FunkyMonkee]

VERY badly!!!

[Syntosi]

Yes, Trump is very bad at negotiating and he did not include a permanent US base in Afghanistan in his deal.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure he is!
MAYBE, had Joe not stolen the election, Trump would've closed the deal in his next term!! If he wasn't planning on putting a base there WHY were all those billions in military gear there?

[Syntosi]

The deal was already closed.

[exitseven]

He wants the airport back again because of it;s proximity to China.

[Syntosi]

So? Does that in any way, shape or form make this less insane?

[exitseven]

If he gets it back without firing a shot it does.

[Syntosi]

If he gets it back without firing a shot then that means that any non-state actor in the country will be gunning for that airport and paint a target on the back of any American there. I guess you want more Americans to return in coffins?

[exitseven]

@Syntosi Do you think that anyone would want the entire US military breathing down their necks?

[Syntosi]

... I mean, I think the Afghani non-state actors has a pretty clear historical record of "YES!" on this one.

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven Isn't the US military distracted cleaning American parks?

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 We have the best military in the world and everyone knows it. Our Air Force can send a missile with such accuracy I will fly up the Afganiatani Supreme Leader's butt.

[Syntosi]

Uh-huh? And how has that assisted in America winning literally any wars in recent memory? Turns out you can't bomb your way to victory quite so easily and USA has been on a humiliating series of retreats as a result. Exhibit A: Afghanistan.

So yeah, I am sure the Afghani non-state actors are TREMBLING in their boots for USA to make the same mistakes that lost them the last war they waged against Afghanistan.

[dustybiker2]

Moral. Be careful when you brag if your details are inaccurate.

[exitseven]

@Syntosi The military has had one hand tied behind its back since Vietnam.

[Syntosi]

How so? You think bombing the middle east even more will have a different result? Whats the definition of insanity again?

[exitseven]

doing it by tying one hand behind the back of our military is the definition on insanity. Trump has a different philosophy about going to war.

[Syntosi]

Since when has USA lost a war because it was weaker than their opponents? Its absurd that you think more strength is the solution at this point.

[exitseven]

They were not weaker, they just were not allowed to win.

[Syntosi]

What horseshit. What does "they just were not allowed to win" even mean?

[Anonymous]

feminists and male feminists should be happy he's even considering that to liberate Afghanistan women from their patriarchal oppression

[seeyounexttuesday]

This explains a lot.
