excerpt -- more at link

John McEntee, one of Donald Trump's most-favored aides, handed retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor a piece of paper with a few notes scribbled on it. He explained: "This is what the president wants you to do."

1. Get us out of Afghanistan.

2. Get us out of Iraq and Syria.

3. Complete the withdrawal from Germany.

4. Get us out of Africa.

It was Nov. 9, 2020 — days after Trump lost his re-election bid, 10 weeks before the end of his presidency and just moments after Macgregor was offered a post as senior adviser to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller.

As head of the powerful Presidential Personnel Office, McEntee had Trump's ear. Even so, Macgregor was astonished. He told McEntee he doubted they could do all of these things before Jan. 20.

"Then do as much as you can," McEntee replied.

In Macgregor's opinion, Miller probably couldn't act on his own authority to execute a total withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan because he was serving in an acting capacity. If this was for real, Macgregor told McEntee, then it was going to need an order from the president.

6. The "Why?" in this piece...

PUTIN!

It’s not in the linked article but it should be. Trump wouldn’t give a shit, but Cui bono? Who prospers from this action? There’s only one name.

This would be one last and greatest gift Trump could give his benefactor on his way out the door. The complete destruction of the military on three continents.

8. why is the head of the FBI still holding that job??????

Elite prep school
Yale
Yale Law
Federalist Society
Fancy lucrative law career
Wealthy family

And so he leaves all that to spend twelve years NOT WORKING as FBI Director.

No press conference.
No investigations.
No indictments.
No action.

He's obviously a stooge for RW.
