Afghanistan has always been about the opium. It was an “opium export” mission to let big pharm produce an unprecedented amount of opioids that addicted and killed millions. The JCOS were all in on it and profiting from it. The ones that didn’t actually get a slice of the pie, were too afraid to interfere or speak up. They knew Bin Laden was in Pakistan since 2003, but let him live uninterrupted while our boys fought a “show” war against the Taliban while maintaining control of the only thing they cared about the Opium fields.
Trump had no idea how corrupt the military was and realized quickly that they were ALL amazingly corrupt. He chose Milley, simply because Mattis didn’t like him. But that was another poor choice. Apparently Trump was so successfully isolated from people who could do research for him on potential appointments and counted on 1 minute meetings to make a decision.
I can only imagine what he could have done if he had employed Sharyl Attkisson as his investigative Chief of Staff! From Bob Barr to every single terrible choice he made – even his Supreme Court appointments all which were losers from China-traitor Mitch’s list! Trump bears the blame for those horrible decisions. But because they threatened his wife, son and himself – he let them run his Presidency and kept him from doing anything really big or beneficial. Jeff Sessions was a total coward, and was the first domino to fall to the deep state.
My real concern is that unless he goes in to the WH in 2024 with a fire 100% of the WH staff and all those in the Executive Office Building and the DOJ, CIA, FBI, JCOS, IRS and more – it would just happen the same way all over again. And he DESPERATELY NEEDS someone like Attkisson with a team she would manage, already researching people and finding the good candidates for all these thousands of positions.
If Trump were really, really smart he would be working on all this right NOW. Hiring a team he can REALLY trust to research and find non-deep-state people to appoint, when he fires everyone. He needs to use his resources to outsmart and outmaneuver some of the banker cabal running our government.
Yes, this has gotten slightly off the topic of Afghanistan, but Afghanistan is just a symptom of the disease that has turned the US government into a cabal run zombie.
Until Trump is wiling to make the hard calls and sacrifice everything for our country – we will still have this banana republic.
