Acting-Defense Secretary Christopher Miller right now announcing withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.

His Senate-confirmed predecessor had told the WH doing so right now would be a mistake, and that he, CentCom & Afghanistan commanders were unanimous in that assessment

1. He looked way over his head on that forced read of something he didn't write.

He's going to set the world on fire before he leaves.

11. SO VINDICTIVE SCORCHED EARTH

He doesn't give a shit about any or all consequences of his actions.

2. Horrible. Putin's dream. Please stall this somehow

3. I hope this withdrawal proceeds slowly until January 20th 2021

So Biden can stop it. Withdrawing troops takes a while with a lot of logistics involved.

4. Putins final orders

You know Trump doesnt give a damn about this so why else he doing it?

5. He has no clout . ..

BS talk.

6. Trump knows more about fighting wars than the generals do.

Trump went to a military high school.

7. Why now? Destabilize the area?

Another crises for President Biden on Day 1.

13. Well in Trumps case its probably now or never

And Putie loves an American power vaccuum...

14. True... I hope they slow walk this.

He did say that.

9. Something to watch out for here: Erik Prince's old plan

Remember this? Mattis laughed him out of the Pentagon, but new people are in there now:

Here’s the blueprint for Erik Prince’s $5 billion plan to privatize the Afghanistan war
