Way to go Rachel!

Travel ban vs withdrawal of Chadian forces.

Complete lack of vetting (ramifications) for the ban policy. No wonder nothing has been said. When was the ban announced? When did Chad start to withdraw their forces? New national policy, and what happens on the ground.

The policies as developed by the guy in the white house are not thought out. Who in the hell writes this stuff and doesn't consult with DOD, CIA, and State?

I'm ticked. (not MILDLY)

and the Defence Department. They assess risk of political policy and warn the President of exactly this.

It needed her methodical analysis to embrace how horrendous Trump’s blunder was. Unfortunately we will pay a much bigger price for his incompetent handling of a very dangerous region. She made his reluctance to acknowledge the massacre in Niger make perfect sense. It is a must watch segment.
