Thank you, Mr President, for once again turning most of the rest of the world against your country.
Have you bothered to learn anything from history? You’re going to repeat the same mistakes that the Russians and the British made before you. You weren’t elected the US President so you can continue what basically is your predecessor George W Bush’s war.
What do you have to prove by playing one-upmanship with the Taliban? Most people, including most political commentators and former army generals, have now realised that after just over eight years, the war simply isn’t winnable.
There is going to be one huge bloodbath… and the Afghan people are going to caught in the middle of the pathetic wargames on both sides. I bet many of your fellow countrymen and women who supported you in the past will now feel very betrayed today.
