Pentagon Agrees To
Sell $12 Billion In F-15s To Qatar
Honest to God, it just does not come more confused than this
with Qatar. First, they are supporting terror, and, shortly after, they are
being sold a new arsenal.
Trump is making a mess out of everything he touches. He has
the Midas touch in reverse.
I wish it weren't so, but it is.
At some point, now, I believe he should resign. He has been
reduced to looking clownish in all his efforts in foreign affairs, arms
flapping in all directions and saying utterly foolish things. He has settled
nothing anywhere.
And I say that as one of those who had hoped that this
seeming maverick might have been able to do some good in a world that has
suffered 15 years of Neocon War insanity. Two million killed, at least, by the
US. But Trump only adds threats to Iran, bombing to Syria, troops to
Afghanistan, creates a mess in Qatar, and sells terrible new weapons to the
Saudi thugs with which to kill.
It must be clear to many that he is incapable, that he does
not possess the strength and independence of mind some believed he had, that he
has completely given in to the Deep State when it attacked him.
The CIA now decides whom it will kill thanks to Trump, and
we only just learned that the Pentagon has been given authority to put whatever
troop level it chooses into Afghanistan, Afghanistan being a war that should
never have been started.
That invasion was a pointless act of vengeance against a
government that was absolutely not responsible for 9/11. All it has achieved is
to flood the world with cheap hard drugs. That's why black gangs in Chicago and
other cities are killing each other in the hundreds.
Talk about terror! This is completely self-inflicted.
Trump’s dark Pentagon appointment is mumbling about not
winning in Afghanistan, but from the beginning, the intelligent question that
has always applied to the invasion and has never been answered is, “Win what?”
So, Trump tells the Pentagon it can decide how many more
troops to send. Brilliant!
