      Not my intention to be a troll or talk trash. Just trying to spread some unfortunate truth. Marc was one of the CIA officials that signed off and lied to the American people about the existence of the hunter Biden laptop. This man's integrity is compromised. Please don't take my word for it, you can look it up yourself.

    Man it’s so hard to listen too in parts. To hear him say he himself failed up. I just don’t understand that. Some of us were posted making one small mistake had I joined the CIA I would have gotten a full 20+

    Oh Jack. You MUST read Caravans. In this slim book, James A. MICHENER teaches more about the nuances of Afghanistan than all the government literature available. You quickly will understand why all invaders have failed, and why chasing the dream of a central government is foolish.

    “…undergraduate and master’s degree in Islamic movements in North Africa…”
    You can do that? How?
    I’ve got 2 GED’s in Texas. (Navy wouldn’t take the first one…then they lied to me in several different ways, which directly resulted in me getting discharged in bootcamp…)
    I didn’t know that degrees in something that cool existed.

  • @gunter446
    @gunter446 2 года назад +1

    I know Ukraine is not part of NATO, but with a 30 trillion debt and military budget cuts should NATO nations being neighbors to Ukraine take this one?. Isn't it kinda detrimental being so close to the problem that they solve this? I can understand using intelligence, but not US military build up. I think we need to build up our military. I mean no disrespect , grateful for our military and their families. Just curious! Had to edit again, sorry. What worries me is the US spreading our military thin while China is building theirs up. After the failed pull out in Afghanistan, obviously Biden is using this as his distraction. 3,000 US soldiers sent to Ukraine is BS, we shouldn't be there. Biden left US citizens behind and flew in afgans, not vetted, here to the US. How can you justify that? The problem is at our border, known terrorists on the watchlist crossed into our country. I'm so infuriated over this, let US citizens die on our soil ? Which is and has happened and will continue to, but no Biden goes to Ukraine.....this is a freaking joke
