The military and politics need to be separated.
The state would still keep it up as a security apparatus
As the majority of states do
As they should, however, why bother having deployed troops if we won't act?
Well we are acting lol
How so?
They just don't tell you we are.
The entire point of our being out there
Is training these nontraditional forces
It was initially a coalition against ISIS, before that the taliban,
Before that it was work against Russia
Yeah, but now ISIS is gone.
So...what the fuck are we doing?
It isnt gone though
Its just no longer stable enough to pretend it's some standing army
With a nation
They're still fighting, then there is the fighting within Syria
Then this would be the best time to act.
Between the government and opposition
Its the worst time to act, Assad essentially won in Syria
It wound down completely...then recently picked up.
Russia wont need to be there if we stop supporting random guerrilla fighters
All while we refuse to take sides.
Which we have
We still are.
At this rate, we may accidentally support ISIS.
We're supporting the kurds
The other factions failed
...and Turkey...
Which is why you saw ISIS get some of our materials
And we've always supported Turkey
Atleast in the setting of the cold war
For no good reason.
We want them as a NATO partner
They're always starting shit.
For our strategic positioning in the east
Fuck NATO.
We don't need NATO at all.
We use them as a base of operations against "Russian aggression"
And now terrorists
