Amidst all the drama taking place in Washington, we are forgetting that the Trump administration is re-escalating the War in Afghanistan. According to military.com
"Mattis is expected to back the long-standing request of Army Gen. John Nicholson, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, for at least 3,000 more troops to battle the Islamic State and a resurgent Taliban."
John MCCain, the old warhead himself is incensed that that the administration doesn't actually have a strategy:
""We are now six months into this administration; we still haven't got a strategy for Afghanistan," he said. "It makes it hard for us to support you when we don't have a strategy. We know what the strategy was for the last eight years -- don't lose. That hasn't worked."
This as the US is drifting into a confrontation with Russia over Syrian. And there are still rumors about a possible war with Iran. Trump and the GOP have no strategy or plan, other than to keep waging war for its own sake.
