Retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump for his approach to the presidency in a wide-ranging interview that saw the former top commander of the US and international forces in Afghanistan label Trump as dishonest and immoral.

"I don't think he tells the truth," McChrystal told ABC's Martha Raddatz on "This Week." When asked if he thought Trump was immoral, McChrystal responded: "I think he is."
"What I would ask every American to do is again, stand in front of that mirror and say, what are we about?," he continued. "Am I really willing to throw away or ignore some of the things that people do that are pretty unacceptable normally just because they accomplish certain other things that we might like. If we want to be governed by someone we wouldn't do a business deal with because they're their background is so shady, if we're willing to do that then that's in conflict with who I think we are."
"And so I think it's necessary in those times to take a stand," he said.
McChrystal also reacted to James Mattis' resignation from the Trump administration as Secretary of Defense earlier this month. Mattis wrote in his resignation letter that Trump had the right to a Defense Secretary whose views "better aligned" with the President's.
"If we have someone who is as selfless and as committed as Jim Mattis, resigns his position walking away from all the responsibility he feels for every service member in our forces and he does so in a public way like that, we ought to stop and say okay, why did he do it?" McChrystal said. "We ought to ask what kind of commander in chief he had that Jim Mattis that the good marine felt he had to walk away."

It's really amazing how much hatred is directed at Trump from the military-industrial complex and the beltway media for ENDING A FUCKING WAR. :rofl: :wallbash:

For doing the same thing, Obama would probably be on the way to his second nobel peace price.

These are dark days for Anti Trumpers. Their arguments have grown into petty nitpicking and they havent had a win in years.

You don’t need to post links. It’s a pretty simple debunk. I’ll write it for you and you can just copy paste anytime some uneducated moron says “mUh NaZis WeRe LeFtIsTs!” like the knuckle dragging shitstains people who say this are.

Anyway...

The NSDAP was originally conceived as a centrist (radically centrist) alternative to international communism as well as globalist capitalism. But then Adolf Hitler, Göring, Himmler, and Goebbels engineered a coup within the party (supported by their chief economist/Reichsbanker Hjalmar Schacht who was in bed with the powerful business/capitalistic interests within Germany) and, on what is now known as the Night of the Long Knives, the socialists within the Party, led by Ernst Röhm, were all killed (the event is also known as the Röhm Purge). Only the far right wing elements remained in charge from that day forward. This all happened before WW2.

Side note: fascism itself was conceived as a radical centrist doctrine. It’s not hard to imagine how a conservative members of the aristocracy like Göring somehow joined the same party as a homosexual labor organizer like Röhm - they knew they needed a united front against communism and found it expedient to organize from the political center. Of course, the communists defeated them after they left the center and began radically organizing from the far right. It was destiny.

They are criticizing his withdrawal plans, not the already executed withdrawal.
And even though it might be whataboutism, it is worth pointing out that Obama hadnt actually done anything tangible yet when he received the nobel peace prize.

Trump's plans for the Syria withdrawal are too hasty, and there are certainly valid arguments to be made against this decision. But all of that doesnt change the fact that he is eating an absurd amount of criticism for plans of ending a war, and it also doesnt change the fact this hyperbolical criticism stands in stark contrast to the praise Obama got for his very similar troop reduction in Iraq.

At the end of the day, the way the beltway media is treating Trump's Syria withdrawal plans is yet another exhibit, and a hardly refutable one at that, for their bias against Trump and in favor of the establishment. Not that any of this is surprising - the swamp media is in line with the swampy foreign policy establishment... - but it should still be pointed out.
