>You get what I’m saying

Yes. Don't need masses of troops as we once did, as you say, but use the money saved to produce homegrown humint from appropriate ethnic groups.

Try to save money on US citizen education and training by going local hire and you get what you pay for.

Cynical, as I said, but I do not put it past the local mindset in Afghanistan to call in a strike on a family they don't like because fuck you.

McKenzie owns this, like a captain who runs his ship aground. Needs the same consequences.

If someone just made up a story out of whole cloth by saying Bidan called looking for a deflection payback from the bombing tragedy, and told McKenzie to get something done pronto, how could you dismiss that possibility out of hand?

That's where we are with the US military. There's no explanations anymore for their actions that are too preposterous to be dismissed out of hand.

You could surmise Pelosi needs to assure China that they will be given notice if the US decides to go first strike if China commits an act of war, such as manipulating a US election.

That's what she's getting paid for. Milley was just the bagman. Can't have ol' Nance caught in the act herself.

Additionally, she also has to make sure that the election steal "sticks". Can't have Trump overturn it. Would explain a lot of the shit that went down.

Can't dismiss the hunch that Q's "P" is Pelosi.
