"If the US EVER pulls troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other locations around the world it could leave voids terrorists / ISIS could fill......"
The justification for never ending wars in the Middle East to hand down from generation to generation when kids ask why the US is STILL fighting these wars decades from now....
It's fun to watch Security Conservatives all turn into a bunch of hippies in defense of their Orange Judas.
Kind of like watching Christian Conservatives defend him ******* a porn star while his third wife is at home having his fifth child. Party of Family Values, everyone. Or Fiscal Conservatives defend 4 Trillion in Keynesian Spending.
Funny thing is, he might even have a point here, that it's kind of pointless to still be there 19 years after 9/11. Especially with Putin putting bounties on the heads of our troops, not that he's doing anything about that.
But we didn't have a debate about it, and the possible consequences, Trump just needs to pull troops out so he can say he did it, even though everyone knows the Taliban will be back in charge of the country in a year. Well, that's the next guy's problem.
