| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about |
| 0:09.2 | troops being left on their own by Trump's administration. As the Trump administration keeps trying |
| 0:17.8 | to paint a picture of total success in a conflict we can all widely monitor, |
