Oh so it is literally the same exact play he did of "I'll crush ISIS within thirty days of being in office."
That is, there's nothing but a slow, wet fart coming out of his ass.

We will no longer be nation building, we will be killing terrorists.
but... uhh... is the Taliban part of that declaration? Because if so, killing them will create one hell of a vacuum if you aren't willing to engage in nation building.
This sounds like a recipe for disaster.

He's talking about Pakistan's connections to the Taliban, like he found out about it today. Wants more cooperation from Pakistan. Also want more Indian involvement... that's not peanut butter and chocolate.
"We are not nation-building again. We are killing terrorists."
Holy mother of hell.
There's some saying I remember about the only thing that grows when you put terrorists in the ground being more terrorists, but I can't fully recall who said it.

Killing more terrorists also means killing way more civilians. Congratulations trump voting America, you are finally the bad guys the terrorists always wanted you to be
"We are not nation-building again, we are killing terrorists"
So we are going to be there forever.
This was in Axios, earlier.
"Operation Resolute Support": While the Trump administration is explicitly repudiating both the idea and the phrase "nation building," ORS is a train, advise and assist mission to help the Afghan army fight the Taliban, an official tells me. It's meant to help keep the government from collapsing while reversing Taliban gains.
This plan is made up entirely of dumb rhetoric. Besides the troop surge that he doesn't want to confirm, I still have no idea what he's changing.

at the risk of a thread derail, large portions of america and the american government have always been those bad guys
the presumption that the terrorists have never had rational reason to hate america is part of the mythology that keeps the war going

yeah, there is absolutely nothing being said here aside from some platitudes about not nation building, but just killing bad guys because we prevail at what we do because we are Americans.
And now he is slowly enunciating Arlington. National. Cemetery *snort*

"Under my administration, many billions of dollars more is being spent on our military, and this includes vast amounts being spent on our nuclear arsenal and missile defense."
This might be a North Korea reference slipped into the Afghanistan speech, but when he's giving a speech about an ongoing war and casually mentions that by the way we're going to have a whole lot more nukes available, I can't stop from thinking it's relevant.

Also this line is actually very scary. I'd much rather be in the nation building business than the killing people business I think. It's not a good look. Like at least say bring to justice or something.
what a hollow, vapid, totally devoid of any substance, bunch of hot fucking air
I can't wait for the articles calling the speech "presidential," simply because Trump didn't stand up there and give us his usual off-the-cuff word vomit.

Well all the presidents since truman have spent $texas on our nuclear arsenal one way or another
Richard Reeves was reporting on president Ford for New York Magazine a long time ago, and as far as I'm concerned he was really writing about Trump when he wrote this.
So it went as President Ford traveled 16,685 miles campaigning for Republican candidates in the month before Election Day, 1974. It was a big story — Nightly News, Page One! — with airport announcers parodying The China Trip at every stop. But journalism has its limits. Journalism is covering something, even when there is nothing. There is no accepted technique that deals adequately with the president’s travels. Do you write:
Grand Junction, Colorado, Nov. 2 — President Ford had nothing to say and said it badly to a friendly and respectful but slightly stunned crowd of 5,000.
It is not a question of saying the emperor has no clothes — there is a question of whether there is an emperor.

the degree to which most american military operations have ever nation built is highly debateable

There's a new policy, but it's a secret, because he doesn't want to give anything away to the enemy.
Because he doesn't understand how this stuff works, it sounds like.
Finally
Yeah I'm sure Pakistan was SUPER pleased with this
