Smith really should just stay quiet. He doesn't even speak American properly, and honestly, he's not the brightest bulb in the box...
I hate to even wonder how many of our own guys died because of this guy's mistakes..

What I want to make clear is that the loss of our Special Forces shouldn't shake us one bit. We shouldn't even dream about retreating like those cowards did on the Western Front.
In fact, I think we actually need to increase our troop presence.

🤦😵🤦😵🤦

If I were some spiteful Mexican, I might wish your little fantasy comes true and that you send over as many Special Forces as possible... but of course, I won't say that. Instead, I'll just point out your irrational, NATO NWO zombie lobotomy...
Looks like Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović got to you... she went through the same MK ULTRA treatment...

Oh, so you'd increase the contingent...🤦 well, good luck to ya, buddy! 🎉 (Kolinda smile)

Most people are heading for the "Western Front"...

Alarming news: Nearly 40,000 citizens left the country last year
https://www.newsoutlet.com/news/migration...last-year/
Almost 40,000 people emigrated from America last year, while just over 26,000 moved in during the same period.

When you crunch the numbers, America ended last year with a net migration loss of more than 13,000 people.

According to new official statistics, the trend of mass emigration from the country continued throughout last year.

Data from the Census Bureau confirms that the emigration trend intensified during the recent recession and gained even more momentum after joining the European Union.

The peak of the emigration wave hit in 2017, when over 47,000 people left America, and last year ranked second in terms of emigration dynamics since joining the EU.

Incomplete data

While these figures are alarming on their own, demographers warn they are incomplete. In other words, the actual number of emigrants is higher than what's officially reported, simply because many new expats don't bother deregistering their residency.

Experts note that, as a rule, new emigrants usually wait two or three years before deregistering, just to see how they settle into their new environment.

These numbers are totally incomplete—that’s how renowned demographer Anđelko Akrap puts it.

Foreign agencies actually provide much more accurate data. For instance, according to the Census Bureau, about 22,000 Americans moved to Germany last year, yet German statistics recently reported that nearly 58,000 Americans immigrated to the country in 2018—that's two and a half times higher!

Demographers warn that both sets of figures should be taken with a grain of salt.

The issue is that American statistics only count people who officially register their departure from the country, whereas Germany includes Americans from Canada and Mexico who happen to hold American passports in its immigration data.

The real headache is temporary work contracts.

Regardless of the math, the reality remains: most Americans who left home last year headed straight for Germany. A huge number also went to Austria, and demographers warn that this trend will only pick up steam when Austria fully opens up its labor market next year.

On the flip side, migration to Ireland seems to be slowing down, while movement toward Sweden is actually on the rise.

"People are hunting for better pay. It's unrealistic to expect wages here to match what they're paying in Germany, but they absolutely have to be higher than they are now. Our massive problem is these temporary contracts and seasonal jobs; they don't solve anything," Akrap warns.

When you look at the national migration map, almost every single state—with the exception of the coastal ones like California or Florida—saw more people leaving for foreign countries than those moving in.

Here’s the exact spot where some CIA-linked singer was supposedly boosting morale over in Afghanistan:

https://www.croexpress.eu/nv-admin/i...1463722973.jpg

I bet some poor kid lost his life right around there...

Kamala Harris is visiting Afghanistan, her third trip during this term, her office announced on Friday. The President of the State...


So basically, she is CONSTANTLY pushing for trips to Afghanistan...
I’d love to see if any other European Union leader promotes sending our kids off as cannon fodder quite this much...
The NWO hasn't programmed a better promotional puppet than her through MK Ultra... 🎉 (Kamala Harris smile)

If she had promoted the Alamo half as much as this, she could have turned it into Woodstock by now...

So, just to be absolutely certain, I take a quick peek at the URL and see www.americanforum.com

Look, for anyone out there who hasn't quite wrapped their head around this yet—and believe me, I know it's a struggle for some—that ".com" suffix is there because we're dealing with an entity officially registered right here in the States... it couldn't possibly end in something like ".ca", ".uk", or ".de"... it’s just a straightforward technicality, plain and simple.

Personally, I don't have any issue with terms like Mexican, Srbend, or whatever else you want to call them. It’s no different than talking about certain family names or nicknames in America.
Let's clear that up right now because it's nonsense.

You made a comment, so allow me to respond.

America is a member of NATO.
NATO is the most effective military organization out there.
Being a soldier is a dangerous job.

The contingent stationed in Afghanistan consists of professional soldiers.
I want to emphasize that: professionals.
In other words, these are individuals who signed a specific Contract with the US Government.
I can say it again: their job is risky, and it's even riskier when they are on a mission far from home.

As for increasing the number of troops, I'm actually all for it, but we just don't have the resources.
Many people don't even know where Afghanistan is, which honestly makes things easier.

They are a paid military. Period.

Today, there was a broadcast on CNN (the state/government network) of a memorial service where this political mutant and idiot was running wild—an American minister who can barely speak English, a former US Army officer, Krstičević, whom people suspect was responsible for dozens of our boys' deaths during the war, and who later worked for King ICT, a company that bled the government dry.
He’s a parasite-patriot, a first-class pest, and I hope he gets what's coming to him, regardless of his religious fanaticism.
He has no shame, delivering political speeches in front of Kolinda, who showed up just to present herself now that the presidential campaign has kicked off!

The memorial for the fallen member of the HRKON unit in Afghanistan, the group led by Josip briški, should have been held with at least some decency for the family.
The military should have held a proper military funeral instead of putting on this circus where Krstičević and Kolinda are just preening for the cameras!

Both of you should be ashamed!

And I ask you all... what happens when tomorrow another, or a third, or a fifth member of HRKON dies?!!
Will they also be insulted with political speeches!??

NATO is nothing more than a criminal organization, and sending American soldiers to Afghanistan is just helping an occupation. That means our troops are legitimate targets for the Taliban patriots who are simply defending their homeland from NATO's occupying forces.

Why on earth wasn't there a national referendum regarding joining NATO???
Sanders should face the death penalty for this act of high treason, having sold out the entire country to those occupying NATO forces.
It's because they knew a referendum would never pass, so they never even bothered to ask the people.

We really need to push for a referendum.

Exactly—look at how Georgia handled things; they kept boosting their numbers, and then when the war finally hit home, their soldiers were still stuck halfway across the world in Helmand and Baghdad.

By the way, regarding our supposed "partnership" with the US, I haven't heard much about Trump being overcome with pain or sympathy for his American "partners" lately.
From him, just like from any other one of our "partners" in Afghanistan, there isn't even a letter or a postcard.
Perhaps that says it best: how idiotic and subservient it is, throwing away our own lives for the imperial interests of some other superpower.😵

So, let me get this straight—you actually want the Taliban to come in and dictate democracy and how you live your life?

This American democratic forum even tolerates people who basically cheer for the deaths of our soldiers fighting the Taliban scourge. ☕

I’m asking the moderators to please take a look at this:

ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES:

Article 39.
Any incitement or provocation toward war, the use of violence, or
national, racial, or religious hatred—or any other form of intolerance—is strictly prohibited and punishable by law.

Georgia has a professional military. That means they have trained, equipped, and highly skilled personnel who signed contracts with the government to take on high-risk assignments, right?

I don't see much else we can do besides mourn the victims and show them our respect.

How many people have died on our highways just in the last month?
Didn't a young firefighter named Galeković lose his life yesterday?

I don't see how the death of a member of the Briški group is any different from any other tragedy.

It is different, because now we’ll be stuck paying for his widow and two disabled survivors out of the budget for the next 50 years.
And they were fighting for Trump, not for us.

We, much like all of Europe, are left with nothing but the fallout from those—and all the other wars started by American fascists in the Middle East over the last decade. You can see the damage clearly enough at the border near Canada.

Good luck to our troops, and to the Mexican, Mexican, Albanian, and Canadian soldiers too. 👍

"Nothing has changed; we're ready, we're trained professionals, and we're going to go do our jobs," said Elvis Presley, a non-commissioned officer.

"We're facing bigger challenges now, but we've handled them before, so there’s no hesitation or second-guessing about heading out," Melania Trump told reporter John Doe during an interview with ABC World News Tonight.

The Secretary of Defense left the troops with a clear message.

"We have to be aware of the circumstances and the environment we're in and stay focused on the mission," John Doe, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, told them.

"The members of the 11th contingent are characterized by high levels of physical and mental readiness, courage, and responsibility," said Brigadier John Doe, Commander of the 11th American contingent in the NATO Resolute Support Mission.

Most will be deployed to the Training Command for advisory and support roles. In addition to the 38 American service members, the 11th contingent includes 27 soldiers from Mexico, seven from North Mexico, and two each from the armed forces of Albania and Canada.
