Before Robert Gates stepped down as secretary of defense after a five-year tenure, the veteran national security hand offered one more piece of wisdom to impart. Speaking to a roomful of Army cadets at West Point in February 2011, Gates made the pointed but astute observation that the U.S. military needed another Iraq and Afghanistan-like conflict like it needed a hole in the head. “In my opinion,” the outgoing SecDef advised that day, “any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so delicately put it.” The U.S. ...

A U.S.-Backed Militia That Kills Children May Be America’s Exit Strategy From Its Longest War 12-year-old Bilal survived a December 2018 night raid on his madrassa in Afghanistan’s Wardak Province, during which 12 other boys were massacred. “There were Americans in the corridor,” Bilal told The Intercept. “We could hear them speaking.” The buzz of a drone at night was the first sign of trouble. Next came the roar of a larger, low-flying aircraft, which alerted residents of the Afghan village of Omar Khail that soldiers were nearby. Men in camouflage moved through the streets speaking Pashto and English. It was December 2018, and the air was frigid. They ...
On War, Trump Has Largely Been an Appeaser

William J. Astore says the president isn’t ending these wars. He’s merely reducing the number of boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, it’s good news that President Donald Trump is withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, though roughly 2,500 troops will remain in each country when Joe Biden takes office in January. In short, Trump isn’t ending these wars; he’s merely reducing the number of boots on the ground. His acting defense secretary, Chris Miller, described it as a “repositioning of forces from those two countries.” Repositioning! Perish the thought that the U.S. military might retreat or even withdraw. The answer is to ...

Australia had to reveal heinous crimes its troops committed in Afghanistan, even after it prosecuted a whistleblower and raided a TV station. It’s time for the U.S. to launch serious investigations of its own conduct in war, writes Joe Lauria. Collateral Murder video released by WikiLeaks. The report of a four-year Australian government investigation into alleged war crimes by the country’s special forces in Afghanistan was published on Thursday, revealing unspeakable atrocities against civilians. The report details how at least 25 members of Australia’s Special Air Services (SAS) were involved in 39 murders of civilians. The report’s description on page 120 of just ...
The New Ruling Coalition: Opposition to Afghanistan Withdrawal Shows Its Key Factions

An unholy union of the National Security State and the neocon-backed and corporate-funded Democratic Party are about to assume power: with media-supported internet censorship a key weapon. The Trump era has engendered numerous fractures, one might say realignments, in the political order. Long-time ideological allies are now adversaries, and long-time political enemies are now in full-fledged coalitions. These shifts are not temporary or Trump-dependent but enduring, because they are grounded in shared core beliefs about the defining debates shaping our new politics and how to consolidate real power: call it the Lincoln Project Syndrome.

‘Decapitations’ at DOD: ‘A Purge,’ ‘A Coup’ or Something Else?

The dismissals have been called 'nefarious,' a 'purge,' a 'dangerous day' and Trump 'burning down' the Defense Department. Hawks are screeching about a series of high profile firings and resignations that occurred at the Pentagon last week, seeing in the personnel moves a dark portent of a possible coup by the Trump administration. The dismissals are “nefarious… decapitations,” according to The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin; while journalist Mona Charen dubbed the high-profile resignations a “purge.” “The president is burning down the Department of Defense in the midst of a presidential transition, which in my ...

The State Dept hasn't provided any documents on the embarrassing coup fiasco led by a former U.S. Green Beret in May. In May, former U.S. special operations soldier Jordan Goudreau led an attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro. The plan was for 300 heavily armed volunteers to sneak into Venezuela, raid military bases, and inspire a popular rebellion that would lead to Maduro’s arrest. Instead, the embarrassingly amateurish plot was quickly foiled. The bizarre tale raised a lot of serious questions about the competence of Pompeo’s State Department and the Trump administration’s intelligence services. When The American Conservative requested ...
Trump Should Get Out of Afghanistan Before Inauguration Day

It's time to finally end America's longest war. Doing so would secure Trump's legacy Between now and Inauguration Day 2021, there will undoubtedly be an effort by the Trump administration to lock in as many policy victories as possible through executive action before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. On foreign policy in particular, President Donald Trump has the opportunity to use his remaining time in office to make a lasting, positive impact on our country by closing the door on our two decade-long war in Afghanistan. Specifically, Trump should issue orders to conduct a full withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan by January 20. This would end ...

‘Psychos’ fueled by ‘blood lust,’ Australian special forces tortured and executed prisoners in Afghanistan - report

A disturbing new report blows the lid on the shameful conduct of Australian special forces soldiers in Afghanistan, accusing them of waging a campaign of torture and murder across the war-torn country, and hiding the evidence. When Australia’s elite SAS soldiers would raid villages in Afghanistan, they brought terror and death with them, a report seen by Melbourne newspaper The Age alleges. The special forces “would take the men and boys to these guest houses and interrogate them, meaning tie them up and torture them,” the report states. By the time the SAS units left, “the men and boys would be found dead, shot in the head, sometimes blindfolded and throats slit. ...

Taliban: US Violating Signed Peace Deal With Recent Airstrikes in Afghanistan

US spokesman dismisses warning, says strikes don't violate peace deal The February 29 Doha Agreement between the US and Taliban was meant to end the war in Afghanistan, and yet might. The deal had a number of provisions, including for the US and Taliban to not fight one another during the process. It’s not surprising, then, that the Taliban is angry at a recent surge of US airstrikes, mostly in Helmand Province, where the Taliban was fighting the Afghan government, or airstrikes elsewhere in Afghanistan. This is a recurring issue with the deal, as the Taliban and Afghan government have yet to reach a peace deal, and the US is using supporting the government as an excuse for ...

Trump saying he wants to end the war in Afghanistan is a good thing. It would be better if he followed through on his rhetoric. In the waning days of the 2020 election, President Donald Trump is making an explicit play for the votes of libertarians, promising that he'll for sure finally end the war in Afghanistan. "Thank you LIBERTARIANS. We are getting it all done, and FAST! VOTE TRUMP!!!" tweeted the president in response to a tweet from Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) saying that Trump was ending our long-running conflict in Afghanistan and that he'd already withdrawn thousands of troops from the country. Trump also retweeted the Being Libertarian Twitter account's ...
Trump: All US Troops in Afghanistan Should Be ‘Home by Christmas’

Report came just hours after National Security Adviser said 2,500 left by early 2021 On Wednesday, President Trump made a new comment on the pullout of Afghanistan, saying that it is now his intention to have all remaining US troops out of Afghanistan by Christmas. That’s substantially sooner than previous statements on the matter. This seems to be a very recent policy change. Just hours before Trump’s comments, the national security adviser said that there would still be 2,500 US troops left in Afghanistan by early 2021. This is roughly in line with previous comments on the matter. Troop cuts in October and November are intended to get troop levels to around 4,500 in ...

The feds are funding anti-white propaganda. Far-left groups are receiving federal grant money to fight white supremacy, which means producing propaganda to demonize white Trump supporters while ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter burns cities to the ground. The Department of Homeland Security’s Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention program will be giving $10 million in grant money to groups like Life After Hate and the School of Communication at American University. Life After Hate will produce propaganda demonizing President Trump’s supporters as white supremacists while the university will devise ways to censor and restrict conservative voices digitally with the money.

Why these four star generals can’t lecture us about morality and truth

Donald Trump’s political opponents are dizzy with the idea that many of the nation’s four-star generals have been openly questioning the president’s morals and virtue and his fidelity to the Constitution. They have called him a “threat to democracy.” But it wasn’t too long ago that many of these same critics — particularly Democrats and their progressive allies — were saying the same thing about the generals, as they lied about and promoted wars they did not think we could win, oversaw and defended torture, assassination, and a drone war that put innocent civilians in the crosshairs, and circumvented the Bill of Rights to illegally spy on millions ...

From bomb drills to COVID lockdowns, protective rituals based on irrational fear are a mainstay of American culture. With the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks looming like a hangover it is worth asking the price we pay for fear itself. Barack Obama said at his convention you must vote Democrat out of fear for our democracy. Don Jr. said pretty much the same a week later, just reversing the names and the politics. Everyone wants you to be afraid of anarchy, either the white or black version. The message from all sides is fear. It sounds so 2020 but it is as old as the modern era. America’s fear in my childhood was that we were going to die at school when the Russians nuked ...
Tens Of Millions Of People Displaced By The ‘War On Terror’, The Greatest Scam Ever Invented

A new report from Brown University’s Costs of War project has found that at least 37 million people have been displaced as a result of America’s so-called “war on terror” since 9/11, a conservative estimate of a number that may actually be somewhere between 48 million to 59 million. That number, “at least 37 million”, happens by pure coincidence to be the exact same number of Americans reported to suffer from food insecurity because their government spends their wealth and resources killing and displacing people overseas. This inconvenient revelation, which was actually reported on by The New York Times for once, is causing conniptions for all the right ...

Will Ruger has been trying to end the war for years. In a move the could have major implications for the longest running war in US history, the Trump administration is planning to nominate Will Ruger to be the next ambassador to Afghanistan, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Ruger, an anti-interventionist conservative, has long championed an immediate withdrawal of American troops from that country. “A peace deal between Afghans shouldn’t be a prerequisite for doing the right thing for the US.” Ruger’s planned nomination, which a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Mother Jones, speaks to President Trump’s desire to remove troops from Afghanistan ...

The mostly peaceful protesters launched peaceful siege projectiles at the city and sent Nazguls to maul Gondorian soldiers in a demonstration of their love and tolerance. "Everything is very calm, very peaceful here," said a reporter from Gondor News Network. "It's very tranquil." Just then, an Oliphaunt charged right at him and flattened him into lembas bread.

O’Neill had posted a picture of himself on a Delta flight without a mask on, with the caption, “I’m not a p***y.” The picture was a joke, according to O’Neill, but Delta accused him of failing to comply with its standards. “Part of every customer’s commitment prior to traveling on Delta is the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel ...
