Yeah, I knew it had to be in there, complaining about the beorgouise ..... those articles.
Meanwhile - we're seeing another concrete example of this Admin / 'Defense' Dept wage open warfare against the actual resources and funding streams of certain proxy groups and political entities.
No one knows all the in's and out's but no matter what you think about this admin - you have to be intellectually honest enough to note that this statement is true.
The article is from Wash Post
They're quoting the Air Force's Public Relations Office so I don't see any problems with the story's overall validity

Quick reminder on some of the Historical Data on our efforts there:
- $14 Billion spent in 17 years
- Longest running war in US History
- Intent to eradicate the Taliban never realized
- Poppy / Heroin production escalating exponentially
- Legacy of chronic overwork and PTSD culture for a generation of G.I.'s & their families
(Bush and Obama admin's BOTH own it - maybe others)
But this admin is now attacking their actual resource base and production facilities
THINK about that
regardless of whether you agree with it or not
it's evident that were seeing a Hot / Proxy, Guns Blazing War between Int'l Poser Bases.
Theres NO WAY this doesn't escalate quickly IMO
I don't know how or where or whatever means are chosen.....but this is like watching two Mafia families attempt to marginalize / eliminate one another
***More Context/Info for The Interested ***
In a similar context of quantifiable/validated-as-fact attacks against Socio-Political (etc) Systems - we've seen regulatory and/or paramilitary action against the following:
Planned Parenthood
Int'l Sex Trafficking Rings
Individual Pedophiles
the NFL
Drug Cartels (both illicit and pharmaceutical)
USG Civil Service Labor Union groups
Several federal agencies (VA, DOF especially)
and more that I know I'm overlooking....
this is close to unprecedented for US Politics IMO - increasingly visible, violent and remorseless US Political struggle since the Civil War
I think things are worse and heading south even more so than during the Vietnam era.
American's generally don't understand or have any experience with the level of unrest and struggle that's coming quickly to this Balkanized nation.
Sorry again for the f'ing treatise on this but...just think of it as allowing me to vent and speak as clearly about the subject as i know how.....
