Acting Defense Secretary Miller Announces Troop Reduction In Iraq And Afghanistan | Katy Tur | MSNBC
Anything to F over Biden and Democrats.
What crazy plan has Trump now? And why is not doing this “great” decisions about the virus?
@Trailin’ Annie 《《《《 He just copies and pastes his trollish comment and is immuhe to facts.
@Trailin’ Annie because your too dumb too know we will have too start all over with making relationships and alliances is hard to come by with a new face too trust. But you too dumb to understand that.
i wish that was the case but alas it is not
I reported Trailin’ Annie as spam since she/he has been spamming every comment thread with the same cut and paste response.
He’s not only doing this to hurt America, he’s also doing this to make sure when president elect Mr biden come into office Jan 20, 2021, tht biden won’t have a smooth transition!! Such a freaking baby!!! I can not wait until #45 leave this office!! January can not come quick enough!!! 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤷🤷🤷🤷
AND, liberals are angry that we are NOT leaving our troops in other countries, in harms way!! They are angry that we are bringing troops home!! They would rather see them blown up, dismembered or killed because?? They HATE Trump!! If Hussein Obama announced troop reductions, they would give him another Nobel Peace Prize!! Think For Yourselves!!
@Trailin’ Annie Oh really? You mean like bombing Iran and starting a war? 🤔😅😂🤣
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/president-trump-irans-nuclear-program-talked-out-of-it
Me too. Dump is the biggest disgraceful president ever in our history. Many of these people are going to be coming back to no jobs, a virus out of control and a country in divided. He’s such a shameful example for future presidents.
lets think this through… so you think Trump is trying to hurt America by removing troops from a pointless 17 year conflict that does not benifit Americans in any way? you sure you want to run with that? dems truly do make dumb comments due to TDS
@Paul Wilson No, that’s not what I’m saying. What I am saying is until the region is more secure, which it is not, we need to have the presence in the area. I’m sure our troops understand their duties, even thought Trump calls them losers and suckers, but it’s the job they signed up to perform.
Inauguration Day that’s what I’m talkin about that’s when Donald Trump is going to get the f*** out
He wants fake war to stay in power (AND AVOID PRISON)! Be like him REFUSE TO FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the 4 peace agreements Trump helped facilitate were his attempt to start a war? thats just dumb
Nice to see the republican tradition of pulling out troops in the Middle East, leaving a power vacuum for terrorists, and letting the Dems deal with it is alive and well in 2020.
so you think its Americas job to occupy the entire middle east? your comments are really getting bizarre
Trump is really trying to screwup America geopolitically.
@Paul Wilson madea no sense. Pull troops out of the mid-east but wants to attack Iran. Very stupid idea.
@Trailin’ Annie It’s not about leaving it’s about how we leave. To bad it’s not just as simple as turning off the lights and locking the door. People who have been our strong allies are left swinging in the wind. Look at the Kurds, our strongest allies in the war against ISIS we simply walked out on them. No telling how many Kurds lost their lives because of trump’s actions.
@Veracity North do you believe everything that msnbc says when they have only anon sources? sad
@Paul Wilson if you must know I get news from may media news outlets. Including RT(Russia Today), Fox News etc. I’m sure way more places than you. You should not assume anything makes you look like a fool.
@Paul Wilson Are you saying that Miller did not make this announcement?
Gee, they’ve been talking about this “FOREVER” just be honest and admit, we are never leaving?
You’ll be gone. One way or another
You lost.
You’re losers.
Now we’re going to take the Senate. Then your cheeseburgers, windows and suburbs.
Oh, that’s right you live in a trailor.
You should be alright as the storms get worse from Global Warming
Go on back to your FOX eat more conspiracy theories.
Be miserable and unhappy
Trump knows the people of America don’t want them doing these stupid things like he always does anymore please stop
especially now. something bad could happen from such a sudden move during a pandemic.
Putin is loving this….
Trump is going to sabotage everything before he leaves
How does Putin benefit from this?
@The Last Danite
If you look at most of the moves Donald Trump has done during his presidency dealing with allies and areas of the world of conflict Putin also has a vested interest
Calling NATO obsolete pulling troops out of Syria
Asking for Putin to be let back into the G8 etc.etc.etc.
@The Last Danite
Read carefully I said PUTIN LLOVING THIS not it benefits him …😂😂😂
Because more Americans in body bags is Trumps Jam.
what an absolute stupid comment… think about it
This is exactly what Republicans criticized Obama for.
All they are doing is slapping his hand and that’s it. Trump is a traitor to the American people.
Because they don’t want to give Obama or Democrats credit for anything
Yeah and nobody accuses trump of cut and run tactics. He’s setting the worlds stage on fire.
Karen Trump is still the danger to the country and the world. Even though he Lost the election by Landslide.
@Melisa leal diaz big embarrassment since before election he said biden was the worst candidate to lose to lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Big Earl Trump lost by the same amount as he won in 2016 and he called that a landslide
@Jerry Caires Jr Yes, but trump doesn’t live in reality does he?
@Big Earl He May be live in his own reality of his own making anyway I think we should just all get along … And Move On there’s too much stuff going on in our country anyway happy Thanksgiving to you and your family God bless
@Melisa leal diaz
To right…
tЯump*, the Lyin’ King is throwing grenades in every direction just to create havoc for the incoming *REAL PRESIDENT.*
Exactly. He’s angry.
@Tenacious One I just hope they hid the nuclear codes behind the lettuce.
As if Covid19-45 wasn’t enough.
ya how dare he put America first!!
@Paul Wilson If you are not from the US that is so funny as the entire world sees that the US fell in every way down the rankings, only people in US think the US is #1 …. just like people in North Korea think North Korea is #1.
Miller does not have the authority to issue orders as he has not been confirmed by the senate.
Trumps first order of business is giving Putin what he wants not helping America people get through covid pandemic.
The last Danite the paid Russian troll, your anti-American pro-russian lies , deflection and misinformation will not be tolerated in America! Trump trash will be removed by the 46th president of the United States of America Joe Biden
so how is the rest of the world doing… are the 1 million deaths in other countries his fault also?
@norman leffell It’s anti-American to want to pull out of a shithole like Afghanistan and let Russia waste their blood and treasure there? Russiaphobia will never die in this country.
Paul when the impeached felon pulled us out of Syria the Turkey army bracket bomded American soldiers and Our Allies the Kurds, but you know this Russian troll
@norman leffell If your allies make bad choices we should all leave. Should we re-invade Vietnam?
American people want this administration down to 0. Soon we will have real men and women in office
“Soon we will have real man in office” …thats no way to talk about kamala
@Paul Wilson you are correct , i edited my comment
What a mess. Trump is man who should be investigated for years
He should be convicted of murder and sentenced.
And his chapter in the WH deleted from history book.
@A S I sure don’t want either his or Melania’s portrait on display in the White House. I wonder if Cheat-o ever allowed Barack Obama’s portrait to be installed?
a pointless 17 year conflict… thats what is a “mess”
Trump is taking it personally, he is risking American soldiers lives just to make it hard for Biden
How is ending the wars in the Middle East risking American soldiers lives?
@Alberto Gonzalez Reducing troops by 2,000 puts the remaining troops at risk.
Kelly Harvey What kind of BS is that? You think they’ll be left with cap guns?
its to bad thats not true
@Kelly Harvey Not necessarily, less troops means less patrols, less convoys, less training Afghan/Iraqi nationals. That’s where American soldiers are put at risk. It’s never just been a numbers game in these wars.
Trump just trying to look presidential and leave as many burdens as possible at Biden’s feet
@Kelly Harvey and thats your opinion
@Paul Wilson “and that’s your opinion” what an ignorant childish statement. Kelly is spot on.
@Kelly Harvey i think the islamist had a part in destabilization. Islam is NOT a religion of peace… its a death cult
@Paul Wilson Yes, we started it. To leave them just prior to any deal, sends a giant green light to the Taliban, as Putin celebrates.
@Paul Wilson Dehumanization is how they getcha. You’ve been conned, and Donald loves your vote, but despises you.
Bring Trump to trial. He is obviously a clear and present danger.
@Josef https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/rap-sheet-trump-crimes/2020/10/16/c6a539da-0e61-11eb-8a35-237ef1eb2ef7_story.html
There’s more lots more
Delusional
@1oldgoat Frederick, Fred and Donald came too late for the founders to anticipate Donald’s blatant abuse of power. Coming too late is “allegedly” a genetic shortcoming shared by all male Trumps.
@Josef Just watch Glenn Kirschner’s ‘Justics Matters’ programs–all of them!
@Josef If you don’t know by now, it is willful ignorance on your part. Good day.
