I did 24 years, cartman. You don’t have low IQ, you just have high A-hole factor.

So you choose to be ignorant. That’s even worse.
Enjoy your mouth breathing day.

Although, for whatever reason, we don’t declare war anymore.

We have not declared war since World War II.

Every military action since, has not been an officially declared war.

I don’t know why we don’t declare war anymore. Perhaps there are some legal reasons we don’t do so? Then we can say such military actions are limited in scope, or some other such justification?

Yep…this is one of the reasons we wanted bases in all of those countries, but Biden managed to screw that up.

Biden is a figurehead. His puppet-masters make all the decisions. The objective of Biden’s handlers is the destruction of the USA. Understand that, and everything else is obvious.

Baghram and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. See the connection? Both were put in place with a lot of hard work. Now they’re subject to the political whims of who’s in office. A pendulum swings both ways. Look at all the leftover parts of our border wall being sold. Why refill the Reserve if the next administration will empty it? If it’s ‘strategic’ perhaps it should take an act of congress to empty-too late.

Is there any huge advantage if we had kept Bagram AFB by force and maintained a presence there like Gitmo in Cuba? Or would it have been redundant for the expense?

That was probably the ‘green light’ to proceed planning….
All blood belongs to Biden administration

I’m beyond livid Lloyd Austin conflates Israel with Ukraine this morning during the press conference

Trump said, often, we should have kept that base for strategic placement…..even though he clearly wanted out of the region

I would say there was some advantage being on the east side of Iran as well.
The biggest disadvantage was leaving equipment and people who helped behind.
The more “now you’re on your own” actions we do, the less trust any future people will have in us.
Things don’t occur in a vacuum. There are prices to pay for actions.
We funded the Mujahideen to fight the Russians.
Israel funded Hamas to splinter support for Arafat and the PLO.

Great to hear from Condi after all these years. Such a big supporter of PDJT.

Oh wait. Never mind.

I indeed do see it. Which foreign entities trust us when complete reversal of policy is a year, two, or four away?
It’s a reality of having very diametrically opposed political parties.
(On important things there seems no difference to me)
