‘Trump administration is weighing Afghan troop withdrawal’

•Mattis leaving
•US pulling out of Syria

Putin is following the ‘Foundations of Geopolitics.’ In the book, Dugin calls for ‘strategic control of the United States’ and calls Russia the ‘staging area of an anti-American revolution.’ Dugin called for the weakening of ‘liberal values.’

For this plan to work: ‘Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook believes in a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services’

Putin wants to markedly diminish U.S. influence on the world stage. Trump withdrawing troops from Syria/Afghanistan will leave a sudden, massive power vacuum, advantageous to both Russia AND ISIS.

And even @LindseyGrahamSC gets it:
