But I thought Mexico was paying for it.

You know, when people are all shocked about how things like this turn out to be scams (I know it makes me a bad person, but I have a hard time feeling bad for people who gave money to be educated by an entity known as "Trump University") what I'm shocked by is how easy it is to scam right wingers.

But as impossible as the situation may be it does not mean we don’t have genuine interests there which need to be safeguarded by all means possible, including diplomacy and a military presence. The fact that Putin is applauding the US decision to pull out is reason enough to know that withdrawal is against our interests.

Officials throughout the Trump administration are bracing themselves for the President to make an announcement about the US presence in Afghanistan, similar to his declaration Wednesday that the US will withdraw the military from Syria, informed administration sources tell CNN.

The sources cautioned that President has not yet made a final decision, but officials are concerned and convinced that he might do so, and soon.
The US has about 14,000 troops in Afghanistan, most of which are present as part of a larger NATO-led mission to train, advise and assist Afghan forces. Any withdrawal would be complicated by the fact that the United States is part of NATO's Resolute Support mission
