As President, Donald Trump’s ballsiest time may have come as he was negotiating an ending to our two- generation appearance in Afghanistan. Rep. Wesley Hunt ( R- Tex. ) Shelby Steele was given the account on a new movie radio.

” I want to keep Afghanistan”, Trump is supposed to include said at a large- level meeting with the Taliban. ” But it’s going to be a problems- based withdrawal”. Hunt recalled Trump saying,” If you harm a hair on a single American, I’m going to kill you”.
Trump pulled a photo of the Taliban president’s home out of his pocket, gave it to him, and finally left after Hunt indicated that the speaker had been astonished by Trump’s declaration and had hesitated before passing it on.
Statement. Made.
” If this is not the most gangster thing I’ve ever heard”, one X user posted,” I do n’t know what is”.
After Presidentish Joe Biden abruptly ( and incompetently ) ordered the final bugout from Afghanistan while unsuccessfully attempting to appease the Taliban, it would be unnecessary for me to recall what transpired.
Here’s an Absolutely True VodkaPundit Tale â„¢ to help illustrate the point.
My former virtual friend, who is now employed on the Hill, previously worked in the Air Force as a nuclear weapon agent. When I once shared a community chart with the blank street names, he was able to identify about exactly where I lived. That evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Always interact with a person who works to kill Minuteman III nuclear-tipped missiles.

The difference between my old acquaintance, me, Trump, and that Taliban head is a great one, however. My friend did n’t have launch authority, but Trump did. That’s a dangerous difference.

It’s undoubtedly a difference that the unknown Taliban thug was aware of. Maybe it takes a gruesome act like Trump’s to turn a true thug in the face of fear.
But was that truly President Trump’s ballsiest time? Sometimes.  ,
Or perhaps it places it next to Vladimir Putin’s traditional strength play.
Trump previously described the time when he also injected The Fear of God into Putin to friend and professional golfer John Daly.  ,
” They’re all saying,’ Oh, he’s a nuclear energy. It’s like they’re scared of him,'” Trump told Daly, referring to Putin, in the phone posted on Instagram Friday.
” You know, he was a colleague of mine”, Trump preened. ” I got along great with him”.
Trump, however, insisted on the fact that he had a challenging game with his brother. If Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump claimed he warned him:” We’re gonna hit Moscow”. And “he sort of believed me, like 5 %, 10 %”, Trump added. ” That’s all you need. He always did it during my day, John, you know… He did n’t do this during the last four years because he knew he could n’t”, Trump added.

This is where I want to convince you that Barack Obama was our commander in chief and that Putin seized Crimea and a large portion of the Donbass in 2014, and that President Joe Biden initiated his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. While Trump was in business, things were definitely tense between Kyiv and Moscow, but Putin’s analytical fear from 2017 to 2020 undoubtedly gives cred to Trump’s history.
The ancient Strategic Air Command used to order all of our nuclear aircraft and weapons. ” Peace is our profession”, SAC people used to prank, repeating the national tagline, but “war is really something we do for blows”. The Soviets were typically able to stop doing something utterly foolish with that attitude.  ,
Trump is aware that the only way to become strong on the global stage is to appear so foolishly that you almost never have to use that power.
We had a lot more peace therefore, also.
