Trff: Look, Duke, hear me out. The plan's solid. First we stage a coup. Then we blow up the U.S. embassy and blame it on jihadists. The Americans will invade, of course, but they'll get bogged down and have to prop me up for years as I get rich diverting billions in U.S. aid! Duke: Okay, so that could work. Trff: Could? Duke, it's a proven model!
Yes, it is a repeat but the message is still fresh.We want to get out of Afghanistan but we are bogged down by the obvious fact they are simply not ready to take over their own destiny.The only reasonable solution is to withdraw anyway and just continue to launch drone strikes at those who continue to support actions which would kill Americans.(Or extend Reagan’s Star Wars and simply blast them from space with our imaginary laser devices. Everything was imaginary at one time.)
