He's not announcing an end to the War

He just said we owe it to the memories of those soldiers who gave their lives to finish the job. And then he said we are getting very close. Right. More of the same BS as far as I can see.

The fight continues!

We're taking their oil!

We don't need their oil!

They've been decimated!

They're going to kill us all quickly with a nuclear weapon!

Etc. etc.

I just can not imagine who is writing this nonsense for him to deliver.

It's so sad that he has so much power. I am finding this situation more difficult to deal with than the Iraq War and that was bad.

He gloms onto a word or an idea... like, say, "war"...
and then he just makes stuff up around it with no
impulse control whatsoever.

it kind of echoes President Carter's much maligned "Malaise" speech. Telling us everything that's wrong and we should stay the course. Popularity is sagging.

to kill more U.S. soldiers defending Trump from the Epstein files.

As John Kerry once said "How do you ask a person to be the last one to die for a mistake?" (Edited a bit to include all, not just men as the original quote did.)
