They always say that an increase in military shipping is just a previously scheduled 'exercise'.
My rental properties are directly across the street from the busiest American port in terms of tonnage of military equipment shipped.
And these docks are a hoppin'.
Rail lines and ports are currently filled with beige, dark brown and pale green.
I guess Trump plans on doing more than just talking when he speaks poorly of America's enemies.
President Trump had some harsh words for Pakistan in Monday night’s speech about the United States’ Afghanistan strategy, criticizing the country for giving “safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror.”
ReplyDeleteSecretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly spoke with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi before the speech and will meet soon with the country’s foreign minister. The public response to the speech from the Pakistani government, which has been in flux since former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was removed from office by court order last month, has been muted so far. One retired general told the Guardian that the U.S. was simply trying to shift blame for its own failures in Afghanistan onto Pakistan, and an anonymous intelligence official complained that Trump didn’t realize “Pakistan itself is the victim of terrorism.” Pakistan’s close ally China also came to its defense with foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying saying that Pakistan had made “great sacrifices" in fighting terrorism.
