    PSA: Taliban peace deal reduces troop levels to start of Trump presidency

    Reductions below 2016 levels are contingent on the US agreeing that the Taliban is fulfilling its end of the bargain, and will not occur prior to the election.


    Trump added 4K troops in 2017. Those 4K are now leaving.

    Also, these 4K were promised in December: https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...an-4000-troops


    You're welcome.

    Yep, it just undoes Trump Surge if implemented before 2020 election date.

    But 4k of last surge will be returning home or will be added to 18,000 troops Trump just sent to mideast few months ago?

    But if brought home, such a de-surging would be a step on the right direction. As a side-benefit, it would also counter NBC's broken peace-coin narrative.

    To be fair to Trump, he is just trying to get Iran a better deal with the US but they are just too stupid to realize it

    Look at all you war mongerers who can't stand the fact that there is an actual plan in place to get out of Afghanistan vs. having absolutely nothing.

    Thats what TDS does to people who claim to be anti-war.

    Have you even read the deal?

    Again:
    The key sentence is: if Taliban meet commitments to prevent terrorism. The Taliban are not the "terrorists" in their own country.

    Looks like NeoCons, Interventionists dreaming of prolonged Military occupations arent very happy about this pullout.

    Brett McGurk is claiming that Civil War would happen gradual collapse of the state, civil war, and the Taliban back in Kabul would happen if American/NATO forces pull out? i am not sure what planet is Brett McGurk but what civil war is he talking about? majority of Afghans wanted Americans out of afghanistan.

    As for McGurk comments on the whole the Taliban back in Kabul well again what planet or rock has McGurk has being living for the past 20 years now? it was the Taliban resistance/rebel forces that succed winning what America and NATO failed to do to win the hearts and minds.


    We all hope this can work somehow. Americans should no longer be dying in Afghanistan. And Khalilzad deserves tremendous credit. But from the face of the text, the agreement does not seem to end a war so much as plant the seeds for a new one. That’s the concern. Hope I’m wrong.
    Yes unless the deep state and NeoCon/Libs buddies want to stage something to prevent the deal from happening.

    The war monger are upset because they view this deal as a bad deal at least for their bloodlust thrust demands for military taxpayers going to waste on military units that arent effective agaisnt a force that won a 20 year military occupation,while these war mongers were going further by lying to the American people and everyone in the global that the war in afghanistan there was progress.

    Whenever you dont see any actual news media reports on afghanistan military going campaigns you know its problary bad just like how Libya is now a complete failed state. With a civil war.

    You see the the thing with Iran and Trump neocon admin. Trump is trying to force Iran out of the middle east and Syria completely you would expect any normal to accpet such a idiotic deal?

    At least the Obama admin deal with Obama admin had no strings to it. Could you imagine Russia agreeing to such a similar deal for Ukraine?

    This what happens when a man with no credibility gives you their word. But, I will be so happy for people to tell "me I told you so" after the plan has been completed. I can't wait to eat that crow pie

    Not sure either- TheCount is pure sarcasm, which I enjoy- but many people don't read sarcasm well. Never had a prob w/Zippy either as he never insulted or called names like some posters here 24/7.

    I can understand Angela's ban, she violated some TOS agreement but why zippy? But if enough people just keep quite, they will continue to sabotage the forum and just keep banning contributing members from the forum. I personally would like to get a response from the censors. I will try my best to be good so they don't find an excuse to ban me but I will keep asking questions until someone gives me an answer

    Afghanistan did not commit to release 5,000 Taliban, Ghani says
    11 hrs ago
    KABUL, March 1 (Reuters) - The government of Afghanistan has made no commitment to free 5,000 Taliban prisoners as stated in a pact signed between the United States and Taliban Islamic militants, President Ashraf Ghani said on Sunday.


    Afghanistan Peace Deal Hits Snag Over Taliban Prisoner Release

    (KABUL, Afghanistan) — Afghanistan’s president said Sunday that he will not free thousands of Taliban prisoners ahead of all-Afghan power-sharing talks set for next week, publicly disagreeing with a timetable for a speedy prisoner release laid out just a day earlier in a U.S.-Taliban peace agreement.

    President Ashraf Ghani’s comments pointed to the first hitch in implementing the fragile deal, which is aimed at ending America’s longest war after more than 18 years and getting rival Afghan factions to agree on their country’s future.

    Also, wise cautious approach by leadership/White House giftshop team this time around by not releasing this peace deal commemorative coins at this stage.
    https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/24/polit...ion/index.html


    In the end, all of us should hope and pray that any skpeticisms will be proven unfounded and peace deal will be a success. There is a powerful 2020 election factor going in favor of this deal success, ironically N-Korea peace deal faltering may make this deal all the more indispensable politicaly.

    Still, the U.S. has said a planned U.S. troop withdrawal over the next 14 months is linked to the Taliban’s counter-terrorism performance, not to progress in intra-Afghan talks.

    You are the one salivating for war.

    That makes you the one on the side of globalists.

    Trump is keeping us out of wars and getting out of Afghanistan, he will get us out of other places too.

    Too many peace deals all at the same time risk economic impact. While in principle, elective wars bloodbaths/forever wars are immoral but for each war/operation abroad, there are many jobs created and many politicians get funded/elected.
    Bringing many troops home too quickly can also impact uneomployment numbers.
