After having surrendered to the Taliban in his first term, releasing Taliban prisoners and getting nothing in return.
Fucking idiot.
- How else will he pull out (again), and leave millions in equipment for the Taliban to find (again)?
Is that where the Epstein files are?
Isn't he the one that set up the exit in the first place, then bitched about the outcome?
The scramble for an effective new distraction continues. There's always room for a little more middle-east forever war even after you've had your fill.
- There's always money in the banana stand for a war, too.
  Feeding, clothing, housing, and medical care for Americans? Fuck you for even asking, how would we even pay for that?
  
  Two birds with one stone, really. Each one that doesn't make it home is another who no longer needs food, clothing, housing, and medical care. All it will cost is several orders of magnitude more than just providing those goods or services directly.
Betting 5€ the U.S will consider the Taliban a "close ally" in the near future. The right has been inching closer to them ideologically for the last decade.
