In some of his most direct comments with regard to the Afghan peace
talks, President Trump has confirmed accelerating peace talks in
Afghanistan, saying that “great nations do not fight endless wars.”
Trump confirmed that 17 years into this war, it is now possible to
“pursue a possible political solution.” Though he admitted there was no
guarantee of success, he did say that “the hour has come to at least try
for peace.”
This has been opposed by the US Senate, where the McConnell Amendment
expressed opposition to any US withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
The resolution also wants troops to stay in Syria, though in both cases
it is ultimately non-binding.
Negotiations with the Taliban have been ongoing for months, and reports
are that a basic framework is all but in place. This would involve the
US leaving Afghanistan, and the Taliban keeping al-Qaeda and ISIS out.
Finalizing the deal is going to require some specific details to be
worked out, but it really does seem that such a deal is more attainable
now that at any time in years. President Trump’s commitment to “at least
try” is much deeper than what most officials have offered during this
war.
At the very least, threatening Venezuela is much more realistic without hot deployments in Afghanistan and Syria.
We can grow our own opium, we dont need them.

This is the best news we have had in a very long time and we should all be supporting Trump on this, get out there and call your Senators and tell them you support Trump. Both of my dumbass Senators voted to rebuke him and I’ve been hammering them with calls, getting my friends to do the same and reminding every Democrat I know that they should vote these two smucks out of office. If any of your Senators voted against Trump on this you should do the same. It’s not every day that we get a chance like this, we need to do everything we can to help make this happen.
Oh and for the dumbasses here who continue to rebuke Trump and pretend he isn’t trying to get us out, you are no better than the dumbasses in Congress.
And no I’m not saying to stop speaking out against his actions in Venezuela, we can oppose some actions while STRONGLY and VOCALLY supporting his good moves. It does not make you a Trump apologist or a “statist” or anything else that is bad to admit that Trump is at least trying to end these ground wars.
Anyone who thinks that we stand a chance of ending the rest of the larger war on terror without ending the ground wars is out of their mind. We need to support this, put an end to the ground wars and then we can demand an end to the rest of it too and stand a realistic chance. We stand no chance of getting them to end the bigger war on terror and the spying and all the rest until we get the ground wars over. They hate us because we are over there, remember? Our top priority right now must be to support Trump when he tries to get us out.
Furthermore, we need to support anyone in congress from either party who will help get us out. I don’t care what your personally ideology is, ending these wars will be good for you. If you lean towards socialism just ask how we will pay for it with the wars in place? If you are for more liberty ask yourself how we will be free with endless wars? Party lines shouldn’t mean anything to any of who claim to be anti-war. It’s really not that hard, if someone is trying to get us out, you support them. If they are trying to keep us there we do our best to get them out of power.
It won’t end until there’s a real threat of a world wide war crimes tribunal. And even then, we’d more than likely have to hang some leaders and their financial backers.
These are symbolic gestures designed to keep the useful idiots in office in office. The whole idea that our government works as advertised is pure propaganda.
