Nice work, numb nuts.

Can you imagine the fit republicans would've had if President Obama had initiated such a clusterfuck? Their weak protests and relative silence is the most shameful reaction to one of the worst, most horrific events in US foreign policy history.

See this nor will they hear that mf45 betrayed the Kurds and abandoned the base. They will only hear that it’s President Obama’s and the Democratic parties fault.

just after the wall came down (1992 - 1994). Spent 2.5 years countering
everything the Soviet Union was doing.

I feel everything we worked on to make the cold war end
was a complete waste of time because of Turd45.

I was assigned to the RAF by US Military/Intelligence.

10. I'm reminded of the "television war" in Vietnam

The premise of one argument about why the U.S. failed in its ultimate aim to defeat Communists in Vietnam is that Americans watched images of the war on the nightly news, and that those images persuaded Americans that the war wasn't worth pursuing. Further, we turned against President Johnson because of those images.

If the premise is true, we can only hope that the entire electorate watches these Russian videos and is horrified by what they see.
