US removing 2500 troops is announced the same week as a $713B defense budget & $23B arms sale to UAE. “Create this shiny thing over here so they won’t look over there!” Troops in Afghanistan is a symptom; deeper cause is a perpetual war machine to which both parties are beholden

Is there not some moral obligation to people who will be subjugated by the Taliban after removal of US troops?

We have to make sure our allies can defend themselves, though. It's a catch-22. Wish peace pipes were as in demand. The world would be a safer place.

Good luck with that. We're still waiting on the peace dividend from Vietnam. Gracias. 😎

In Magic it's called ..."Misdirection"... You bring home 2500 troops over there ... While everyone is looking over there ... you have a 713 Billion Dollar defense budget and a 23 Billion Dollar arms sale over here ... meanwhile everyone is still looking over there at the troops
