Cruz might. Graham won't take the wind-down of the "forever wars" well, and will therefore be ostracized.

- pempem 2y agoOne can hope @ein0p!!
- bdangubic 2y agothe forever wars are not winding down :) and if graham is pissed all he has to do is wait for 2028 :)
- ein0p 2y agoWe'll see I guess. Trump at least got us out of Afghanistan. There are early signs that he managed some kind of a (temporary) settlement in Gaza also, even before inauguration. Will he wind down everything? Probably not. But by god, someone should at least try. We can't keep spending trillions we don't have on killing millions of people halfway across globe for no good reason.
- bdangubic 2y agoyou mean Biden got us out of Afghanistan, right? :)
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoTrump negotiated getting out of Afghanistan, withdrew most of the troops but left Biden with getting the last presence out without any manpower for an orderly exit, which was a very stable genius move on his part. Biden was in a lose lose situation: he could either bring back troops to cover the exit and get everything out (unpopular), or just leave in a messy uncovered exit (also unpopular). It was pretty much lose-lose for him at that point.
