I’m somewhat torn on this.

I actively demonstrated against the Vietnam War, and I’m reminded by this from John Kerry:

“We are asking Americans to think about that because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”. (Complete statement here: https://hnn.us/articles/3631.html)

How many would die or be injured or maimed during a “phased withdrawal”? What would it gain long term?

I understand the arguments against a precipitous withdrawal. I’m just not going to condemn an idea just because it comes from Trump.

We should also mention that one of the reasons Trump is hot and bothered to attack Iran is that:

Iran now has more than 12 times the amount of enriched uranium permitted under a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, a global watchdog says.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium had reached 2,442.9kg (5,385.6lb) this month.

Gee, who could have predicted that pulling out of the deal that was designed to limit Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium would lead directly to Iran stockpiling more enriched uranium? Surely no one could have predicted this!

I suppose that's less bad than Trump sending troops into places. I wouldn't put it past him to attempt to start a war then claim the country couldn't change presidents during wartime. I don't think there's an upper limit on the number of people he'd be willing to get killed so he can keep playing presidents.

The DOD better send a large contingent of experts ASAP into these bases to ascertain how to quickly we can withdraw as many troops as is possible within the next four years.

They should also make a public announcement of how much money has been spent on these bases, that are now effectively being turned over to foreign governments. I'm betting that's a non-trivial amount of money effectively being given away.

After all, money* is the only thing Trump comes close to actually understanding.



*Specifically, the losing of it.

In some cases, yes. In other cases, foreign governments built military bases they can't possibly utilize fully, knowing they were in a strategically beneficial place for us, and we simply lease them. I suspect abandoning some of those agreements might cost more than staying.

Of course not.
This is a guy who has no understanding of individual people having intrinsic worth. He has no understanding of honor or sacrifice. He has no understanding of why anyone would choose a career in the military.

Marine Corps Generals Kelly and Mattis have publicly stated they consider trump dangerously unqualified to be president. I'm certain those words have been repeated many times in the upper echelons of the Pentagon. This is probably not a fun time to be a four star general. Must be a lot of anxiety in the military about what this dirtbag may do on his way out. :(

I tend to agree with this, for certain meanings of "value". He's definitely reshaped the party in his morbidly obese, corrupt, racist and stupid image. Sure, the were racist, corrupt and stupid before Trump, but now they are leagues worse.

And no one is every going to let Republicans forget.

Everyone working for the Biden Administration should have a card with Trump's most stupid tweets and statement with them at all times, and challenge Republicans to comment on them whenever they try to criticizes a Democrat.

"I want Joe Biden to go full on, forgot to wear pants, crumbs in his hair, screaming at the toaster nuts. And when Republicans go 'Wait how can you give unwavering support to someone who's obviously lost it?' I'll go 'I dunno, you tell me.'

And just like you do now, in private, we'll be like 'Oh yeah he's nuts.' But publically? We'll say he's great. Full denial mode. Just like you.

So when crazy, senile Joe Biden gives the Medal of Freedom to the Pillsbury Doughboy, I'm just going to say 'Well he's a different kind of President.'

Trump humps the flag. I want Joe to (bleep) it. I want him always wandering off. I want to read a headline 'Missing for the 3 days, President Biden found asleep in mattress store.' I want him to have an extramarital affair with Blac Chyna. And every (bleeped) up thing a celebrity has ever done, I want him to do it. I want to see him eat a hamburger off the floor. I want to see him interrupt Taylor Swift at an award show, lock a hooker in a closet, shave his head and attack a car with an umbrella, I want to see him jump up and down on Oprah's couch in a meat dress.

Just so Trump supporters can begin to understand what the last 4 years have been like to us."

According to the NYT, Biden now has more than 79 500 000, and the difference is about 5 930 00.

BUT

there are an estimated 1.3 million votes still not counted in NY. Biden is going to blow by 80 million and there is a CHANCE it could hit 81 (there are still 100K votes in Maryland and 75K in Maine and 100K in Illinois and maybe 300K in Mass ). If those estimates are close, Biden only needs about 55% to break 81 million.

If that happens, the gap between them would be > 6.5 million.

Let's see.... 81/(81+75.5) = 52%
