We’ve talked about this before. During the second Iraq war here on this board we concluded that the mistakes were being weaponized. This idea of going in, create chaos, announce withdraw and watch it all smolder and burn for years to come. Only to have corporations from the allies come in and “clean” it up.
I like how it was phrased as a withdraw when Obama did it and it’s now phrased as a retreat. Funny how the media didn’t give two squirts to all the minorities that were massacred by isis to the degree we are hearing Kurdish stories. I certainly don’t remember them blaming the president then. To listen now, the greatest betrayal since Judas has happened. Maybe even greater.
Side note. These people aren’t stupid. The industrial military complex is making more money and hot spots than ever before. Do I really think it was Obama or Trump’s decision alone for these repositioning of our forces? Nope.
