The fake news media is freaking out as President Donald Trump drains the Pentagon swamp in the preparation of returning U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Christmas.
Former Weekly Standard neocon turned pro-Biden Democrat, Bill Kristol, lamented that Trump might be up to “pro-Putin” troop withdrawals:
3. Re Miller, Patel, Tata, Cohen-Watnick, Ellis (new general counsel at NSA): "None is remotely qualified for the job he holds." But that's doesn't matter to WH. Along with Ratcliffe at DNI, we're getting close to Trumpist control or attempted control of the "power ministries."

5. The removal of Haspel at CIA and/or Wray at FBI would of course be key. Along with Ratcliffe at DNI and Cohen-Watnick overseeing entire Pentagon intel structure, we'd then have almost unimpeded Trumpist control of our intelligence agencies, with everything that implies.

One Democrat Congresswoman threatened to prosecute Trump military officials due to her own paranoid, PMS-induced fantasies:
Warning to all Trump Administration staff: destroying documents is a felony. Anyone engaging in those acts will be prosecuted by a NEW DOJ. https://t.co/JhDiRBJmYI

Other hysterical, biased commentators in the pocket of the military-industrial complex have been complaining on social media as well:
“Four senior civilian officials have been fired or resigned since Monday, including Esper, his chief of staff, and the top officials overseeing policy and intelligence.” from @CNN. Trump is replacing the command structure at the Pentagon. Is anyone awake in the Democratic Party?

The crisis at the top of the Pentagon is just beginning – (DANGER. We are watching a slow moving Trump coup to defy the Biden election and refuse to leave office by diktat. Believe your eyes. This will be a test of our institutions.) https://t.co/fB7JNUz1fg

Yesterday was a bloodbath at the Pentagon. Today, people are worried that loyalists the White House has installed across DOD will stonewall the transition and try to cement Trump's policies with weeks left to go before inauguration. W/ @dlippman https://t.co/om1j9h6yrt

By weakening the leadership structure at the Pentagon and by refusing to allow for a smooth, timely and informed transfer of power, Trump is endangering our military members around the world. Including on this Veterans Day. #TrumpCrimesCommission #TCC

Opponents of military interventionism, such as Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and maverick left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald, are happy with the shake-up at the Pentagon and are trolling the cheerleaders for endless war.
I am very pleased @realDonaldTrump asked my friend Col. Doug Macgregor to help quickly end the war in Afghanistan. This and other picks for Pentagon are about getting the right people who will finally help him stop our endless wars.

Reminder to those saying withdrawing troops may cause a “clash” with Generals/Pentagon: there is only one Commander in Chief, it is @realDonaldTrump and when he orders the troops out of Afghanistan, the only proper answer is “Yes sir.” https://t.co/RLWVw0T5rM

For liberals angry Trump is wrestling control away from Pentagon officials to end the 19-year-old war in Afghanistan:
Don't worry: Biden, Ben Rhodes & Susan Rice will quickly find new wars, ensuring the beautiful rainbow diversity of the Raytheon & Boeing boards still thrive.

Big League Politics has reported on how the War Party is coalescing behind Biden/Harris, who intend to revert back to the Obama/Bush foreign policy of endless war and foreign adventurism:
The upcoming Joe Biden administration, if it is certified by the courts, will undo the “America First” foreign policy agenda of President Trump and renew hostilities throughout the globe, particularly with regards to Russia.
Russian officials are downplaying the potential hostilities, as they hope to avoid incurring the wrath of a possible administration with a glorified vegetable as its figurehead.
“Biden . . . will certainly change the style of US foreign policy but will hardly be able or willing to reverse some of its key trends,” said Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. “Confrontation with Russia will continue.”
However, Biden has made his intentions with Russia clear. The nation is to be punished for the nonexistent Russian collusion scandal that was invented through whole cloth by the Obama administration before Trump even took office.
“We must impose real costs on Russia for its violations of international norms and stand with Russian civil society, which has bravely stood up time and again against President Vladimir Putin’s kleptocratic authoritarian system,” Biden wrote in an article from the spring.
He added: “Putin wants to tell himself, and anyone else he can dupe into believing him, that the liberal idea is ‘obsolete.’ But he does so because he is afraid of its power,” he wrote, arguing the Kremlin feared a strong Nato, which he described as “the most effective political-military alliance in modern history”.”
An insider told Financial Times that Biden’s inner circle is motivated by an “emotional” hatred of the Russians, which will guide their foreign policy of extreme belligerence.
“We expect a massive toughening of the stance towards Russia,” a high-ranking Washington D.C. diplomat said. “There is a hatred for Russia amongst [Biden’s team] that is really amazing. It’s not just rational; it’s also very emotional.”
President Trump is finally draining the Pentagon swamp, and the result could be thousands of American lives saved if he is able to remain in the oval office for another four years.
