The C.I.A. Zero Unit in Afghanistan was a work around for Trump and Pompeo to commit war crimes with impunity.

THREE stunts

Got. A. Woman. Killed.

1. deploying National Guard with no emergency

2. escalating CIA use of paramilitary zero unit in Afghanistan

3. negotiating a U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban that precipitated collapse of the U.S. backed regime (and flight of paramilitaries).

And when Trump blows his brains out in a bunker after destroying half the world, they will all say, "we didn't really like him, we just went along because everybody else did."

Also the administration's macabre politicization of the tragedy SHOULD have no place in the country. Trump sent the National Guard to D.C. as a publicity stunt. Trump escalated the C.I.A. paramilitary war crimes targeting the Taliban. Then Trump negotiated the capitulation to the Taliban.

"one of the last"? That war isn't over and there are going to be many, many more.

Also left out the escalation of zero unit paramilitary activity under Trump/Pompeo in 2017.

The legacy news media doesn't do historical facts.

It was Trump/Pompeo strategy to escalate the use of Zero Unit paramilitary forces and send them after the Taliban. Trump did everything but pull the trigger. Only a pawn in his game.

WaPo won't mention it but the escalation of Zero Unit paramilitary death squad in 2017 is on Trump and Pompeo. Only a pawn in their game.

Reminder: Trump and Pompeo ramped up the CIA 'Zero Unit' paramilitary force and aimed it -- for the first time -- at the Taliban.
