Trump is only a faux-populist as readers probably realize now; in actuality he is a
front man for empire. And he is reliably maintaining the frontiers despite his campaign rhetoric about withdrawing from Afghanistan. In 2013 Trump twited:
“Let’s get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the
Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the
USA.” One member of Congress called his decision to send more troops to the benighted wilderness, "the definition of insanity." Jeffery St. Clair cogently writes at
Counterpunch:
Nothing better illustrates the eclipse of US global power than the fact
that Afghanistan refuses to be subjugated or even managed, despite 16
years of hard-core carnage. Since the first US airstrikes hit Kandahar
in October 2001, more than 150,000 Afghan civilians have been killed.
Still Afghanistan resists imperial dictates....the Taliban now retains almost as much control of the
country as it did in 2001.
