Another day another resignation from Trump's WH... Mattis resigned

[crockett]

Mattis has resigned or been fired, he leaves in Feb.. The clown car just keeps on dropping clowns off..

[Bladewire]

Jesus...Mattis resignation letter summed up: "I believe we must support our allies and view our enemies with suspicion and intelligence. You don't. So, go ahead and find someone who is willing to join you in abandoning all strategic alliances that have existed since post-WW2."

Ouch!

He's basically calling Trump a traitor

Mattis did not write that.....

[BaldBastard]

I've been in and out of Thailand maybe 20 times in the past 10 years and the military coup has actually worked quiet well for them.

So have no fear, it doesn't mean civil war, just gives the politicians time to reboot and regroup once the traitor's are removed..

And yep... anything's possible.

[Rochard]

Here is the full text.

“Dear Mr. President:
December 20, 2018

I have been privileged to serve as our country’s 26th Secretary of Defense which has allowed me to serve alongside our men and women of the Department in defense of our citizens and our ideals.

I am proud of the progress that has been made over the past two years on some of the key goals articulated in our National Defense Strategy: putting the Department on a more sound budgetary footing, improving readiness and lethality in our forces, and reforming the Department’s business practices for greater performance. Our troops continue to provide the capabilities needed to prevail in conflict and sustain strong U.S. global influence.

One core belief I have always held is that our strength as a nation is inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. While the US remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interests or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies. Like you, I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States should not be the policeman of the world. Instead, we must use all tools of American power to provide for the common defense, including providing effective leadership to our alliances. NATO’s 29 democracies demonstrated that strength in their commitment to fighting alongside us following the 9-11 attack on America. The Defeat-ISIS coalition of 74 nations is further proof.

Similarly, I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours. It is clear that China and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model – gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions – to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies. That is why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense.

My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues. We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances.

Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position. The end date for my tenure is February 28, 2019, a date that should allow sufficient time for a successor to be nominated and confirmed as well as to make sure the Department’s interests are properly articulated and protected at upcoming events to include Congressional posture hearings and the NATO Defense Ministerial meeting in February. Further, that a full transition to a new Secretary of Defense occurs well in advance of the transition of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in September in order to ensure stability within the Department.

I pledge my full effort to a smooth transition that ensures the needs and interests of the 2.15 million Service Members and 732,079 DoD civilians receive undistracted attention of the Department at all times so that they can fulfill their critical, round-the-clock mission to protect the American people.

I very much appreciate this opportunity to serve the nation and our men and women in uniform.

So why does Russia need nukes? If no one is gonna harm anyone?

[Rochard]

Meanwhile.... No one seems to noticed - mostly no one has ever heard of the disputed Kuril islands - Russia suddenly starting building a new military base in the Kuril islands. I'm sure it's just fine with Trump.

General Mattis has staffed Gitmo with more than 1,000 military police. Shit's about to go down, mofos!

It's not called cliff notes, because you put it in quotation marks. Any reasonable, intelligent person reading this would have expected it to be something that was actually said.

Thankfully, in your case, we can simply consider the source and know better.

it will not pass the senate but in fact i really would be amused to see this wall because it would bring america into a european situation. the people would come over the sea in heavy overloaded and unsecure boats and the the international sea right would force america to
rescue them and bring the to the US as soon as they have reached american waters.

that would be VERY FUNNY to see !

I agree Thommy. The likelihood of it passing is low. But you have to admit, it’s further ahead than many have expected.

As far as them storming the beaches, you’d be surprised what your average beach goer would do. Many, would not let that happen. Charter fishing boats would have a field day too. America is a little different than the rest of the word, for the good, and admittedly, for the bad.

because america is not to be trusted ever under any circumstances...this is no way changes the fact that america is in no danger at all and that it does not have "Allies" because there is nobody planning to attack...

Trump is a developer.. He hires people to do certain jobs/tasks. If the job/task is done, it's done. Or if that person isn't up for the job then they move along and he hires someone else. That's how shit works in the real World.

Obama fired Mattis after Benghazi.. He didn't even give him the courtesy of a phone call. Trump gave him the opportunity to clean up/finish what he started years ago. It's done.. On to the next project.

5 billion will not build a wall across the southern boarder. If you think it will you are dumber that I suspect. It wont get past the Senate..

Also you Reds are now fine will pissing away 5 billion tax dollars for what?

Correct it will take more than 5 billion. Good thing he got more than 700 Billion for the military. The Army Corp of Engineers builds things. Trump already said military will build it.

And how is that pissing it away? It will pay for itself many times over when it reduces the $120 billion / year that illegal aliens cost American taxpayers.

You're not fooling anyone troll

[Scrapper]

You guys amaze me with ignorance. Especially the guy who said he read a book so he knows. Fuck all that, take a step back and look at history. When leaders or presidents call troops home "out of the blue" it is usually always 2 things. A threat/scare of a coup d'état attempt or a serious worry about civil unrest.

Trump, like all severe narcissists, is extremely bipolar. Actually, meeting a true to the core narcissist is very rare. He is without a doubt, a narcissistic sociopath. Also why he will never take responsibility for what is about to happen.

IMO, I think we are actually getting closer to the big "reset". I've been watching the market hourly for the last quarter and for the first time saw 1350 point market drop/recovery spread between 2 trading day or in a 5 hour period. 92% of all majors are down, another first. This is happening during Christmas when most Americans are not watching. More so, the media is preoccupied with other things.

The Fed NOT stepping in lowering interest rates tells me the bankers now know the gig is up and they're off the nipple. First trading week of 2019 is going to set the course of what's going to happen for the next decade or more.

How so? All verifiable fact.

If a wall were to stop between 160,000 to 200,000 illegal crossers over a decade — just 9 percent to 12 percent of the projected total — the savings over their lifetimes would equal the estimated $12 billion to $15 billion cost of the wall.

Trump can't use military funds to build the wall without Congress you fucking idiot. You keep posting this line of shit over and over and I keep telling you you're full of shit.

[nico-t]

this shows that Trump stays true to his election promise for less wars and that he isn't a puppet of his administration. All really good and even groundbreaking signs. Quite a feat to spin this into something negative, and i'm rather surprised to see they succeeded, judging by people who actually believe the propaganda and are outraged soldiers will return home to their families alive. Why don't you all go yell at the families for wanting their child or spouse come back alive while you're at it... or you can go ask how they feel about it. People who actually live it.
