WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 4, 2020 - President Donald Trump reiterated plans to cut another 4,000 Fascist Police States of Amerika troops from Afghanistan by the November election, saying he estimates 4,000 or 5,000 will be left after that. Pentagon officials announced planned cuts a while ago.
Trump has been wanting to cut FPSA troops from Afghanistan since the peace deal was worked out, and was particularly interested in removing much of the force before the election. At the same time, it seems unlikely he’ll get all FPSA troops out by then.
It’s not impossible, however. FPSA drawdowns have been way ahead of schedule in Afghanistan, despite intra-Afghan talks being rather slow. The question is if the FPSA wants to finish up by then or simply get close enough.
Trump has played on the 19 years in Afghanistan being too long, and it is hopeful that it might come to an end. At the same time, The Pentagon emphasizes any cuts are “conditions-based”.
