Pretty sure giving the Taliban official status in the same sentence as discussing talks with the Afghanistan government means this plan isn't gonna work.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Wait did he just say that there will be talks with the Taliban? the united states has negotiated with the taliban before to accomplish some of the same political goals that trump outlined. the negotiations have always fallen through because neither side trusts the other and many of the red lines are unacceptable to the other. it isn't a terrible idea and probably necessary in some capacity. iirc, the berghdal affair torpedoed the last major attempt to reach an agreement

Hmm so apparently regulations which prevent war crimes and collateral damage are "micromanagement" that's good to know. Also I think his secret goal is to calm nuclear tensions on the Indian subcontinent by uniting India and Pakistan in a cry of "gently caress this fat orange cocksucker telling us what to do."

Okay so let me summarize the content of this speech: -We're not going to set any timelines or tell you what we're doing in these wars, withdrawal will be based on conditions on the ground. So, forever war! -Pakistan is harboring terrorists and is naughty. -We're going to keep loving things up in South Asia. Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India are going to pay for it.

most of this speech sounds like mcmaster, but every so often i hear sudden injections of trumpism like, talking about how "military power will not create a solution" before talking about how the united states will kill terrorists without discretion lots of talking about winning

Soooo... what was the point of this speech? His new strategy was just a bunch of vague Candidate Trump-style generalities. Even Bush went into more concrete specifics about Afghanistan than this. Jesus.
