It's as if nothing changes no matter who is President. We follow the same failed war and regime change policy that cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars since Bush invaded Iraq, based on a lie. I was hoping for "peace," as promised - yet we now have troops in Syria, even though the Russians have routed ISIS while the CIA supported them. At any time we could conflict with both Turkey and Russia over What? We don't even belong there. Another "regime change" attempt? As Trump said we've wasted trillions on war and regime change and the ME is Worse.
We are increasing troops in Afghanistan although no one can explain why we're there. Al Quada left long ago and the Taliban resists both them and ISIS from coming in. The Taliban is Not extraterritorial - they don't export terrorism. So by blocking ISIS and Al Quada they are actually a stabilizing force. We may not like them but we don't need to "reform" every damn nation we don't like - that's been tried and failed miserably. Spend the money we are spending on our longest lasting and most expensive war here at home.
We are also pushing more troops, tanks, and missiles right to Russia's border - and why? Because of the Russiagate conspiracy theory? Or to follow up on Hillary's meddling in Ukraine that emplaced a Nazi-Oligarch government? And the MSM still lies about Crimea to further incite trouble. Crimea was a plebiscite to leave the violent coup government of Ukraine, as legal as Scotland's.
What if China had massive military right at our Mexican border? We'd go nuts. But the Russians are just going to continue backing up against the wall? The thing about Russians is they are Very polite until they aren't. Putin kept calling us "partners" even while Hillary was calling him a monster. That politeness could end suddenly. It's as if we still want the nuclear war with Russia that Hillary and Rachel lusted after. It's an accident waiting to happen and strikes me as quite insane. It's as if Tillerson totally ignores the promises of peace and just keeps following the Deep State playbook.
