Peace deal signed with Taliban

Glad if true. Hopefully this doesn't mean the Taliban just get to operate freely now.

Upon reading the terms are vague but it appears to be set up in steps.
Taliban will sit down for a private meeting with Afghan Government. They will attempt to recognize each other.
Troops draw down as relations become normalized. As far as a deal goes that sounds reasonable but I know devil is in the details.
 
Like the others here I'm cautiously optimistic. Well, I guess more hopeful than optimistic. Greater stability in the ME with less US participation and not as consequence Russia and China getting stronger from seizing a power vacuum would be great.
 
Knowing the Cuckold In Chief's past fuck ups and failures;
- Taliban will be allowed to enter the USA with no restrictions and total immunity... even when they commit terrorist acts: and the Democrats are responsible if anything happens.
- Taliban will be given billions of dollars in aid, and if they use that money for terrorism, the Democrats are at fault.
- The Democrats are supporting terrorism... they allowed this treaty to happen!
- Taliban will be given all the names & addresses of Christians in the Middle East, by Trump himself, but Democrats are of course at fault.

Look, the China 'deal' was a bust. North Korea was a bust. Turkey was a bust. Everything this idiot has touched has turned to shit.

And, this "announcement" is very suspect, especially since Trump took a shit on live television regarding the corona virus and caused the markets to tumble.

I would be surprised if anything in this post turned out to be untrue.
 
Trump is so desperate for something, ANYTHING, with his name on it that he'll gladly help the Taliban Make Afghanistan a Madrassa Again.

He doesn't give a shit about the troops, they're dummies remember? Especially the ones dumb enough to get brain injuries from Iranian missile explosions.
 
Excellent. We need to get our troops home as soon as possible.
Yes. And once they are home close the gates behind them. Despite what the Democrats believe there are many horrible diseases and people that want us dead beyond our borders. I say we close the gates and vet the hell out of anyone wanting in. Open borders are for complete idiots with no real understanding of the world around them.

No one of any significance is calling for ‘open borders’.

Stop lying

It’s not his fault he’s been gaslit to believe that 250 years of steadily more progressive immigration policies supported by both major parties suddenly became “open borders” and “un-American” after Trump became President. Rubes can’t help being rubes.

Bernie sort of is, one of my concerns about him as a candidate.

Decriminalize Immigration and Demilitarize Our Border
Bernie believes that no human being is illegal. Unauthorized presence in the United States is a civil, not a criminal, offense, but President Trump and others before him have used a racist, outdatedUnited States law that criminalizes border crossings to separate families and incarcerate immigrants fleeing violence and poverty. Punitive policies have been justified as a deterrent to migration, but in addition to being morally wrong, there is no evidence that these policies have served this purpose. The criminalization of immigrants has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, dehumanized vulnerable migrants, and swelled already-overcrowded jails and prisons. Decades of unaccountable funding for militarizing our border has created a dangerous situation that has led to thousands of deathsalong the border and at least seven children have died in the custody of the United States since last year. Bernie believes this is unacceptable.

By criminalizing immigration, we have worsened the effects of mass incarceration and racial disparities in our broken criminal justice system. Black immigrants make up 5 percent of the undocumented population but account for 20 percent of those facing removal on criminal grounds. Tying local law enforcement to immigration enforcement perpetuates racial biases in policing, where black and brown people are stopped, harassed, and arrested at higher rates than white people. We must decouple local law enforcement and immigration, leaving the proper authorities to carry out their respective missions.
 
It's a two stage process-

1. Get the Americans out.

2. Start shooting.
I no longer have a problem with that. I'm pretty much done with the festering shit hole that is the middle east. I'm done with US soldiers spending their lives for no reason at all, I'm done watching tax dollars flushed down that bottomless pit of ignorance.
