Author And Veteran Weighs In On Troop Withdrawal, New Book | Morning Joe | MSNBC
MSNBC is a fraudulent news source.
BIDEN is not going to deal with anything but that he will not be the President of our country.
This issue was a fear I had when Trump ordered a large number of troops out of Afghanistan. This man has put me at ease a bit because he does know the military!! He’s served, here & abroad! I am comforted by his expertise!! Any time Trump does something I fear it’s for revenge! This has helped. Thank you!!
Know your history. Afghanistan has always been a troubled country. Ask the British.
mica, where’s the reporting on sewall & his chinese spy agent?
MSNBC-Lets say in Afghanistan for 20 more years while having millions of hungry people in USA. Corporate media.
“It’s not salvageable by Americans”.
Wisest words ever uttered.
I want our troops home. They’ve been there too long as it is.
If the White man would mind his own business things would be better !
December 15, 2020: One word also comes to mind when I hear the words Whitehouse and Trump: EVICTION……
All over the world the newspapers and media should report this story: Poor, WEAK, Pathetic America has lost the war in Afghanistan to a group of bearded men who believe in raping women. The US has abandoned their responsibility to the 34 million people in Afghanistan and is letting a few thousand Taliban terrorists to have the entire country, to burn the books, burn the schools, and destroy the democratically elected government.
And the second news story can be: This just in, GENOCIDE now perfectly acceptable as demonstrated in Syria, HALF A MILLION DEAD, and the US stands back and does nothing. Want to invade your neighbour? Go ahead, Crimea still annexed by Vladimir Putin, US response minimal!
Take control of a CULT and force 20 million people into slave labour, prevent them from leaving your personal CONCENTRATION CAMP, and furthermore, threaten the world with nuclear strikes and get away with it Scott-free; the USA is AFK!
Sad pathetic, weak and poverty stricken United States of America has abdicated their thrown and stepped down from being the worlds unipolar superpower!
Next Week: China is now the UNIPOLAR SUPERPOWER so say goodbye to human rights and personal freedoms!
You know it’s almost like nobody cares. . . well just remember, when our human species is on the verge of extinction, and our planet is irreparably damaged, we did it to ourselves and we deserve the fate we made.
US troops should be relocated to Taiwan to prepare for military action against China.
It sounds to me like they have become a party of “anti-progress” because they are comfy to have things frozen in time. “Make America Great AGAIN”
You know what solves this issue? They can make their own “good ole days” communities just like the Amish.
BOOM problem solved
Interesting, I heard the same thing from an Afghani emigree friend, that Pakistan is basically fuelling all conflicts in Afghanistan.
It’s all good. Benedict Donald knows best!
The same moronic people that said a vaccine wouldn’t come for years are now telling us “no fraud exists, and if does exist, it would not change the results, and if it would change the results, we don’t like bad orange man, we baby he make us sad and pee-pee in our pants.
The left war mongering again?

The American people would NEVER accept a fraudulent Biden presidency
Over 300,000 dead. Millions are homeless. No Covid relief package for the people. BLAME MITCH AND THE SENATE.
It seems more Americans are slowly coming to the realization, that 1) The Afghan people don’t want what the 2-decade enemy invasion of America is selling, and 2) We’re not that hooked on stealing their oil anymore.
ISAF has done a lot of good for the people. But frankly, a tonne of that is cleaning up the mess left behind by the US offensive.
