Quote

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed President Donald Trump’s plan for a swift reduction of U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan, warning that it would be a gift to America’s enemies and would undermine progress already made in the region.

“A rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan now would hurt our allies and delight the people who wish us harm,” McConnell said bluntly.

Quote

“The consequences of a premature American exit would likely be even worse than President Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, which fueled the rise of ISIS and a new round of global terrorism. It would be reminiscent of the humiliating American departure from Saigon in 1975.

Moscow Mitch needs to put up a strongman front to ward off the hardline elements in the party so that his Russian masters can continue about their business without further scrutiny.

Weird that Trump would wait until any negative consequences are someone else's problem to do this. Doesn't fit with his character at all.

In the China reactions video, Nintex is the guy at 0:44

"... I was hoping that Trump would win."

Why did you hope Trump would win?

"I felt like if Biden became the president, the US might become a normal country and play its original role in the world again."

[shit eating grin activate]"But there'd be a lot more unusual things or black swan events if Trump stayed in office."

[shit eating grin at full display]"I prefer to have something more interesting happening."

edit: also in the China reacts video at 9:27

WASHINGTON — President Trump asked senior advisers in an Oval Office meeting on Thursday whether he had options to take action against Iran’s main nuclear site in the coming weeks. The meeting occurred a day after international inspectors reported a significant increase in the country’s stockpile of nuclear material, four current and former U.S. officials said on Monday.

A range of senior advisers dissuaded the president from moving ahead with a military strike. The advisers — including Vice President Mike Pence; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; Christopher C. Miller, the acting defense secretary; and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — warned that a strike against Iran’s facilities could easily escalate into a broader conflict in the last weeks of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

So the whole "at least Trump hasn't started a war" thing is looking more and more like stroke of luck.
