The Era of Biden

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

even as a Reagan Democrat Neocon I disagree

I stick with the Dutch Reagan position of fighting at the Geostrategic level

no need to chase the Communists off into the jungle like LBJ did in Vietnam

What happened to 'free all the slaves everywhere.'

only by the power & glory of the Lord himself, let them come to Him

Shining City on a Hill

The lord helps them that help themselves.

I expect this is close to the truth, and exactly why we should not cede control of the region to either the Taliban or China.

staying forever is a much better option

you're right

5-10 thousand troops as a regional force multiplier? Absolutely sustainable forever.

That was Trump's peace plan. Too bad we got rid of him.

doesn't make it a good idea

don't need a regional force multiplier because America already has more than enough regional force for the task, without staying in Afghanistan forever

there is no utility in staying there

misguided military adventures into the jungles of Eurasia are not helpful

America is the Mahanian Eternal Seapower, never get out of the boat

You'd never admitted to be a Fascist before.

I've admitted to being a neocon before.

You can call it what you like.

Of course I can: it's the "Martin Hash Forum"

And I apreciates you lettin' me Fascist it up a bit this fine morning.

"Regional force multiplier" - Jesus Fucking Christ. What the hell does Hanny know about military involvement. Him, Mitt Romney & Bill Kristol got this covered. And that "White Rage" general.

So you say. I disagree.

[Smitty-48]

the Neoconsertive position of the Reagan Democrats was in reaction to Vietnam

the movement was a return to George Kennan's Containment policy

do not chase the Communist proxies into the jungle

return to the Central Front, confront the Kremlin head on over the Trace

I am not Smitty Westmoreland

I am Smitty LeMay

The advantages of having American troops for logistic support should be pretty obvious by now.

With fewer than 10 thousand troops we held the region for years. Without them it took - what - 11 days to fold?
