The question should also be why pull troops out of those places. For instance, there are a number of reports in the past week that he's looking to attack Iran. Is he pulling troops out of there to deploy elsewhere?
- 99_00 6y agoAre you suggesting that ending the real war in Afghanistan should not happen because there are rumours of another war possibly being plotted in the future? That doesn't make sense to me. The report you are referring to is this: Trump 'asked for options on strike on Iran nuclear site I'd be worried if Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces wasn't regularly asking to see the plans for possible action against a hostile nation. It's their responsibility to ensure that military is prepared for these possibilities.

That doesn't make sense to me. Not at all. I’m saying, he hasn’t bothered to end the war in Afghanistan yet, and so if he’s suddenly doing it 2 months before he’s out of power, the question of what he’s planning to do with those soldiers is significant.
