Trump’s plan of troop reduction in Afghanistan part of his election campaign: Commentator

US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a plan to reduce American troops in Afghanistan in November shows he’s clearing gearing up for the election, an American writer and political commentator has said.

Walt Peretto, who’s based in Washington, DC, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV after Trump last week announced Washington’s major troop drawdown plan, saying he would like to have “probably anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000” troops in Afghanistan by the time of the election on November 3.

US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Saturday that the United States would lower the number of its forces currently deployed in Afghanistan from about 8,600 to below 5,000 troops by the end of November.

“We are going down to a number less than 5,000 before the end of November,” Esper said in an interview with Fox News.

The figure would be the lowest since the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001.

Pentagon announces plan to cut troop numbers in Afghanistan to less than 5,000

The Pentagon announces a plan for a sizable reduction of American troop numbers in Afghanistan by the end of November.

Peretto said that “Trump also signed executive orders yesterday trying to fasttrack an additional $400 US dollars a week to the unemployed in America. He is clearing gearing up for the election. But the focus should be on - why are American troops in Afghanistan at all? The pretense for the 2001 US invasion was the fictional story of Osama bin Laden leading a pack of Muslim fundamentalists that supposedly hijacked 4 planes and flew 3 of them into exact locations that thwarted investigations of government corruption---taking down three skyscrapers in New York totaling 267 stories of thick steel framing in just a few hours with only two planes.”

“The fact that NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) created the fantasy physics necessary to justify the official narrative, is testimony that American institutions are merely prostitutes when called upon,” he added.  

“Meanwhile, the Zionist controlled Trump is making gestures in exchange for votes by reducing troop numbers in a country invaded in the name of pure fantasy and pseudoscience,” he stated.

“People need to wake up to reality before they start lining up for their COVID injections that will likely have sterilization components since they are obsessed with depopulation and other nefarious ingredients designed to control the bewildered herd. Their social-engineers get away with this because they start people off with incessant propaganda and disinformation through school and entertainment---then the corrupt mass media---intertwined with emotional false flag, and contrived events like 9/11 and the current global COVID operation,” he noted.

“This is not all about the United States---or even Israel---this is a global phenomenon tied to cooperation between people and families with concentrated cases of clinical psychopathy. These people innately lack the neuropsychological ability to feel the otherwise normal emotions of empathy, guilt, and remorse. To these people killing innocent Afghanis or thousands of Americans in office buildings is just another day at the office. The only way out of the impending global dystopia is awareness of these provable facts and damming up the flow of incessant lies and disinformation by turning off their mainstream media whose only purpose is to fool you,” the analyst concluded.
