Donald Trump's abyss into Afghanistan- Movie alert

A movie - a prepared TelePrompterTrump script- a failed history reenactment:  a Russia trajectory is impending.

(Vodka anyone?)
Pundits have overlooked how Donald Trump is following the lead of the failed Russian invasion of Afghanistan, when he made his #TelePrompTerTrump speech to the nation on August 21st, where he had nothing to say from a prepared script.

What Donald Trump did manage to convey in his "practiced read aloud" was how the United States would not leave Afghanistan until we had somehow won the war. 

HELLO? What war? Congress has never declared war on Afghanistan. What Donald Trump called for in a scripted way was an invasion of the Afghan nation. Because, frankly, to say we're there, with no exit strategy, "means" what he clearly said it means. 

Our American military has invaded Afghanistan and we intend to take over the country.

Nevertheless, the #Trump_no_Afghan_strategy, notwithstanding, the Russians tried this strategy before the US every considered a direct engagement with the Afghanistan nation. Moreover, the Russians were defeated by the Taliban and in 1988, they retreated.

(So, ya'think Vladimir Putin is smiling right now? Vodka toasts pouring throughout the Kremlin?)

In fact, it was the United States that armed the Taliban (in Kandahar) to defeat the Russians. Ironically and sadly, it's now the very group the US military is engaged in opposing.  

Check out the informative "non-fiction" movie with Tom Hanks, Charlie Wilson's War. It's a drama based on the dubious legacy of Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects. Be sure to see the excellent movie as a primer to Donald Trump's #no_stragegy_Afghan_stragegy.  

In other words, Donald Trump has created the classic examples of "What goes around comes around", or "We met the enemy and they are us."

Or, to use the prophetic words quoted from the film, as Charlie Wilson said, "These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world... and then we fucked up the endgame."
