As suspected there was much more to Trump’s pullout manoeuver; here’s the REALITY from the horse’s mouth: “The United States cannot continue to be the policeman of the world. It’s not fair when the burden is all on us, the United States… We are spread out all over the world. We are in countries most people haven’t even heard about. Frankly, it’s ridiculous.” ... “We’re no longer the suckers, folks.”
“America shouldn’t be doing the fighting for every nation on earth, not being reimbursed in many cases at all. If they want us to do the fighting, they also have to pay a price, ..” Hence the deal with Turkey, though as usual, America once again has stabbed supported allies in the back -- this time the Kurds.
And Trump’s final words spoken on his first troop visit to Iraq: “A lot of people are going to come around to my way of thinking.” We’ll see!
Well there you have it, suckers. Trump, under the thumbs of neocon war hawks, Bolton and Pompeo, is simply consolidating a reduced cost permanent military presence in Iraq and envisions using it as a projection strike force in the entire region.
Nevertheless, Syria has won and Afghanistan, with Russian and Chinese support, would also be a clear winner if all the opposing forces can come to a mutually beneficial -- a Chinese specialty -- agreement.
Overall, American plans will fail in the region and the world. And as stated previously on this site, America can no longer afford its HUGE military costs and that includes outsourcing weapons development and manufacture to a profit-only-driven private sector, which beast, according to its outsourcing, bloodsucking nature, compromises security, now a proven fact.
So best of luck doodle dreamboats; it’s over. There is no way to hide the ongoing American failures of both exploitative capitalism (INEQUALITY) and non-democratic elite minority rule. Both factors have failed miserably and CLEARLY present a FAILED MODEL for the WORLD to see and AVOID.
Meanwhile China forges ahead with a SUPERIOR model, winning over the WORLD with PEACEFUL business and infrastructure development. So, which model do you imagine would succeed? American blood, guts and theft or peaceful mutually beneficial relations, doh!
