Ingar, “we spend a fortune in time and money renovating”?
“We” spent multiple fortunes in this sand box, bucks and blood.

“We”, conqured, Years pass.
“We”, surged, Years pass.
“We”, un-surged. Years pass.
“We” quit. Take the ball and go home.
A year passes.
“We” send 25 million $ supersonic stealth from a seven battle-group Navy, to cap equipment “We” provided indirectly to the oinking Caliphate cluster that can’t supply, operate, or maintain.
Bengay burnt whilst the huge (biggest in the world) embassy in Bagdad did party hardy, Sec o State evaporated, Carter Ham imploded, PotUS took up a line in prep for morning travel obligations.

Only in America.
