Despite his bird chested, reality tv tough talk, Trump is going to allow regions of Afghanistan to be taken over by the Taliban as part of a larger strategy, just like previous administrations. Here's an excerpt of Trump last year talking all tough shit to his base about not giving up an inch to the Taliban. "They need to know they have nowhere to hide, that no place is beyond the reach of American might and American arms." Meanwhile... The Trump administration is urging American-backed Afghan troops to retreat from sparsely populated areas of the country, officials said, all but ensuring the Taliban will remain in control of vast stretches of the country.
The approach is outlined in a previously undisclosed part of the war strategy that President Trump announced last year, according to three officials who described the documents to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity. It is meant to protect military forces from attacks at isolated and vulnerable outposts, and focuses on protecting cities such as Kabul, the capital, and other population centers. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/28/world/asia/trump-afghanistan-strategy-retreat.html
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
