He got us out of Afganistan.

Not all of us, there are American hostages in Afghanistan.

I’m in Europe now. I haven’t seen anything to be concerned about.

Where in Europe. Here they report warnings going out and alerts being issued. I have not looked into to see any details.

2017 Trump revealed intelligence secrets to Russians in Oval Office: officials


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump disclosed highly classified information to Russia’s foreign minister about a planned Islamic State operation, two U.S. officials said on Monday, plunging the White House into another controversy just months into Trump’s short tenure in office.

H.R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser, told reporters at the White House, adding that the leaders reviewed a range of common threats including to civil aviation.

“At no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. The president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known...I was in the room. It didn’t happen,” he said.

Russia’s foreign ministry said reports that Trump had revealed highly classified information were “fake”, according to the Interfax news agency.

The White House also released a statement from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who said the Oval Office meeting focused on counterterrorism, and from Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell, who called the Washington Post story false.

And it all turned out to be true.

After Trump’s disclosure of the information, which one of the officials described as spontaneous, officials immediately called the CIA and the National Security Agency, both of which have agreements with a number of allied intelligence services around the world, and informed them what had happened.

While the president has the authority to disclose even the most highly classified information at will, in this case he did so without consulting the ally that provided it, which threatens to jeopardize a long-standing intelligence-sharing agreement, the U.S. officials said.

Big deal, more piling on and making something of nothing.

In the military, daily news is classified as secret.

Not to mention all the American soldiers who died during the botched withdrawal.

13 died because of a suicide bomber.

What about for Muslim Americans?

You sound like the guy who told everyone how safe Philadelphia is, right before someone broke into his house and killed him in the middle of the night.

I have never thought Philadelphia was safe

This is what Biden regime foreign policy begets, not to mention the two new wars he helped start.

A lot of us knew this would be what the xiden regime would lead us to

 

[struth]

13 people died in the withdraw? Sounds like a pretty low number to me.

Wow…

 

[Lord Long Rod]

But…but… We are living in Bidenopia!! This must be far right wing propaganda.

Pretty high considering nobody had to die and nobody did die before Biden and after Trump negotiated peace

Trump set it up so we had to leave by a certain date. We were dealing with people who were going to raise hell chasing us out no matter what. For the optics. Wake the fuck up

No, Trump began negotiating for a withdraw. The Democrats took what Trump began and turned it into an USA surrender with the loss of life and Americans left behind.

In light of today's events, the loss of Afghanistan is a strategic blunder of the democrats

Trump should have shown us how it was done. He didn't.

I remember Clinton won a war and only 1 US Soldier died. Did you give him credit for that?

I can't remember a Republican ever getting us out of a war in my lifetime so who's to say how many people die when we leave a war we "won".

Trump certainly didn't win over the people who took over Afghanistan. They would have shot at him too if he was president and taking us out of Afghanistan. So we will never know if >13 would have died when Trump got us out.

One hint at how bad it would have been would be how Trump got us out of Syria

Trump defends decision to abandon Kurdish allies in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump cast his decision to abandon Kurdish fighters in Syria as fulfilling a campaign promise to withdraw from "endless war" in the Middle East, even as Republican critics and others said he was sacrificing a U.S. ally and undermining American credibility.

President Donald Trump cast his decision to abandon Kurdish fighters in Syria as fulfilling a campaign promise to withdraw from “endless war” in the Middle East, even as Republican critics and others said he was sacrificing a U.S. ally and undermining American credibility.

Trump declared U.S. troops would step aside for an expected Turkish attack on the Kurds, who have fought alongside Americans for years....

I know you were hoping for more.
