Once again, if you want to hold a general accountable for the Afghan exit, it is not Milley. The chairman is not in the chain of command.

I thought you liked Brandon’s OK for Ukraine’s use longer range missiles because it gave Trump a better bargaining position for ending the war. Unless mistaken, I thought that was one of the justifications you used supporting that decision by the lame duck POTUS with dementia with very limited time left in office? Also, still waiting for your strategic plan for resolution of the Ukraine war… short of WW3. Haven’t seen any vision or plan yet… crickets.. You like to boast about having inside access or knowledge as to what is going on in Ukraine. Got any realistic, up-to-date casualty and damage estimates you’d care to share? I’ve heard they are unbelievably high for both sides with major parts of Ukraine in rubble- I think the sterile acronym is called BDA. At the end of all this, hope all those who have supported or been in favor, own it, but somehow I suspect we’ll hear nothing but endless rationalizations and “if only, coulda. shoulda, etc.”.

I am confused. What does your post have anything to do with the post by @Red Leg that you quoted.

OK " not my job" but I want someone held accountable for that fiasco, as I saw it, totally unacceptable, and the marine sniper who had the bomber ID, sighted and target acquired, and could not GET anyone in the chain of the command to OK the shot. cost lives. Cost him his legs.

What are you talking about and why are you addressing it to my comments?

We are fast becoming a banana republic and I won’t defend this country anymore.

The Constitution I’ll defend to my dying breath. Drain the swamp, kick the RINO’s to the gutter where they belong, let the country divide up into smaller separate nations and pray that at least one of them is a Constitutional Republic like our founding fathers intended with a small federal government.

I’m tired of the corruption, lies, and malfeasance of Washington.

I hear ya....but remember its the people that are America....not the Marxist trash in Washington. Our people and their values and beliefs are worth defending still.

If the Assad government does collapse completely, another thing that may come out of this situation in Syria is those leaders in Iran who want nuclear weapons (which isn't all of Iran's leadership) could potentially get their way.

Some of my friends on FB are saying Assad's plane was shot down? Any of you fellers know/hear anything?

been seeing the same rumors online, people were tracking an IL76 on flightradar24 and it appears to have either gone down, or turned the transponder off, no actual confirmation from what Ive seen

Not exactly a head on a spike but we did kick the CiC at the time and his heir apparent to the curb.

While Afghanistan was probably not at the top of many people’s lists for voting for Trump over Biden/Harris it was definitely not a mark in their favor, no matter how they tried to spin it.

I haven’t kept up on all of this thread but I can say with quite certainty:

During Trumps presidency (or if the dems finally get him then JD Vance) will do the following:
End the Russian/Ukraine war.
End the Israel/ Palestine War.
Crypto currency will have a daily effect in our lives.
Elon will dramatically change how much our government spends.
Healthcare costs and prescriptions will go down dramatically.
Oil in the US and Canada will dramatically increase resulting in reduced pricing and little to no dependency on foreign oil.

Most likely another conservative justice on SCOTUS if not 2. One may be a replacement.

And I’m hopeful for a hunter biden life in prison ruling.

Good summary and update on Assad's exit flight from Damascus. Nothing conclusive, but he has not emerged anywhere else yet.

Not sure how Elon will dramatically reduce how much the gov't spends, ultimately Congress controls the purse strings. But I hope you're right.

What intrigues me is your statement regarding healthcare costs and prescriptions. How do you think those costs are going to be driven down dramatically?

Domestic US oil and gas production has been at or near record highs for the past couple of years, about 13 million barrels per day. There isn’t much capacity for further growth.
