U.S. And Taliban Reach A Reduction Of Violence Agreement | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Reduction”!?????. GOOD ENOUGH .. we must Keep the BOOGYMAN alive for the War machine industry to make money
Exactly and some wars are never meant to be won .
I thought we started this long war to defeat the Taliban, wtf happened here.
@Tom Tom name me anyone who advised the president to sell out on the Kurds- or am I missing your point? From my recollection and re- reading, Trump acted unilaterally- but after a discussion with Edrogan- to sell them out. I will tell you this, selling them out will restore ISIS presence in northern Syria, and Trump has done nothing, other than a tweet saying you better not act on my mistake, Turkey and Russia… Kurds are being pushed and slaughtered as we write.
@Jim Keogh nah that’s not what I meant, sorry, I just meant people have been very insistent on taking all of our troops out of there and then when it was done they complained, for obvious reasons, cause it wasn’t a good idea to take out troops. Especially not out of that region
@Jim Keogh people as in news media or social media, general opinion and such not Trump admin or necessarily senators. Just the people voting
@Tom Tom thanks for clarifying.
@Vulcan Studios Isnt ISIS like the only thing we’re fighting in Iraq? Still there.
Remember” Jon yang”?”
Thought you were funny then didn’t you.
Now look what you did!
Who? Isnt he the Chinese guy that did Gangnum style.
@BC Bob nah man, he just dropped out of the presidential race, yesterday 😀
@tuco james Get that eyesight checked, looks like you’re mistaking first names.
USA: Will you be my Valentine?
Taliban: Ok *crossed fingers behind back*
Trump to Taliban: how much is it worth to you for me to withdraw my personal army?
Did Kim Jong Un send Trump a “beautiful love letter” this VD???
V.D. how appropriate .
@Holland LMFAO😂😂😂😂
I know trump supporters are not that smart, but please.😂😂😂
@Edward Williams at least I’m not pro-war. I remember when the left said “we shouldn’t be there in the first place, bring our troops home.” I’d gladly be a Trump supporter than cave to the leftist rage. War is bad, I haven’t forgotten that ideal; in your orange man bad rage, it seems you have.
fake…probally something to cover up trumps action on the rodger stone interferance
Do you promise Taliban?
Yes. sure
Good. I’m such a great negotiator.
I heard that in an orange voice in my head
Your meme format is incorrect
I remember when the left used to say “bring them home” and “we shouldn’t be there in the first place”
What happened to that. Just because orange man bad, we have to fight pointless wars in the middle east?
If this leads to a more long lasting armistice, good. If not, at least we tried.
What happened to “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”?
Mark N Ignore that person. They’re just hateful because prez is stopping wars and dems are pro war and pro terrorist these days.
@TheNullReferenceException funny how that works. The Democrats MUST take the opposite side of Trump of any issue. And that is why they’ve tide themselves in knots.
Mark N it won’t be much longer until they fully embrace their history and march around in their white hoods. They already showed off their klan robes at the last few state of the union addresses.
@KGrandKWizardK if your mom actually taught you something about economics you would know that we are living in a debt bubble that will pop no matter what Trump or any other president does. We’re living on borrowed time.
@KGrandKWizardK
Fact check your numbers instead of parroting Trump. High end estimates from the US treasury department in 2015 was 56 billion when the US and other countries lifted sanctions and the funds were *unfrozen* dumb dumb. Obama didn’t give them anything but their own money. Stop the pathetic lies ffs!
Hahaha that’s like asking a fish to stop swimming….
lockheed martin
@kuru K LOVE THIS PLACE AND JAG FURTHER DOWN. YOUR COMMIE RANT?
🇺🇸 Land of negotiations & “we’ll see what happens.”
I mean it’s easy to sound snarky when you say it like that but imagine how hard it is to try to predict these things. So yeah, we’ll have to see what happens 🤷♂️ there’s a lot of different components at play here.
I thought we don’t negotiate with terrorists
@logic rules i want America to prosper and to do that our money has to stay here and help us instead of fighting for pat Robertson’s ticket to heaven
@logic rules i never said it did
Preston Williams do some research on the CIA and you’ll see what I mean.
@YuSPYINonME so you’re saying its in our best interest to just sit back and let Iran control the middle east, Russia and china to doing all the influencing around the world. And what do you think will happen after they have all the footholds around the world and control everybody but us.i don’t think you’re looking at the big picture. Hiding in our borders letting communism and muslim extremists run everything is a horrible plan son. Think on it
“that kinda blew up”
Smoke and mirrors
Why are we still in Afghanistan ??? For the Afghanis who don’t want us there ??? I’m so confused, we already got Osama down in Pakistan so why ??? Poppey seeds and opium and heroin ?????
obviously
Coke and mirrors as well.
1:24 that blew up… couldn’t help himself hahahah
We’ll just keep punching and punching and punching
Afghanistan… Graveyard of Empires.
No one ever seems to remember that.
@Varangian Guard and to this day everyone in Afghanistan speaks Greek…
You’re so right
@Varangian Guard
“May God keep you safe from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the revenge of the Afghan” ~ Alexander the great
I think the point is after 18 years in Afghanistan it’s time to move on.
🎶🎼🎵💃🕺🏻
Dancing with the Devil 👺
It’s all good 😮
WAIT!!! After this next attack we have been planning. THEN the truce, promise.
pinky promise?
@Major_Trauma 😆
1:15 “That blew up at the very end” very poor choice in wording
I disagree, I thought it was somewhat clever.
This is a flashback to the Paris Peace Accords of the 1960’s-70’s. You know, that thing Viet Nam, Richard Nixon (President), and his “Peace with honor.”?
Right, that flashback.
VietVet 1970-71
Lol, the deal with the Taliban “blew up in the very end”.
Both sides: “We got 7 days to regroup and get ready for our next attack”
