American policy in Syria has been marked by a long list of flip-flops and failures. Remember Obama's "red line" meant to stop the Assad regime from using chemical weapons? That was quickly erased when Congress made it clear there was little public support for using U.S. forces to topple another secular dictator in favor of rebel groups whose radical Islamist views made them no less dangerous to our interests. The "moderate" rebels to whom the U.S. was airdropping weapons proved to be virtually mythical creatures, and those weapons ended up in the hands of al Qaeda's allies. Then we learned that a rebel group the Pentagon had backed was fighting another that the CIA had armed.
*snip*
There was one policy, just one, that the U.S. had engaged in which seemed to be working out well: Our government's backing of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Kurdish-led militias that are allied with local Christians (the Syriac Military Council and the Nineveh Plain Force), that with growing success are taking territory away from ISIS. In those liberated regions, the SDF has established enclaves where Christians have religious freedom and their own armed militias, and women take part in government (unlike in most of the Middle East).

Why?
What motivation does the Obama administration have for turning against its erstwhile allies, the best hope in a desolate region for establishing something like a free and pluralist government? According to Horowitz, we are currying favor with Turkey — the former secular democracy which is morphing before our eyes into an Islamist dictatorship, in the wake of a failed coup that has proved a pretext for a massive purge of secular-minded dissidents.
This is the same Turkey that has gone from provoking Russia (by shooting down a plane that was fighting ISIS) to cozying up to Putin. Turkey is also blackmailing the European Union for huge cash payments and visa-free travel throughout the continent, with the threat that if these demands are not granted, Turkey will dump hundreds of thousands more Syrian migrants across the EU border into Greece and Bulgaria.
So concerned are U.S. generals over Turkey’s untrustworthiness that they have pulled U.S. nuclear weapons out of their longtime Turkish base of Incirlik.
Just means more dead people and more muslims flooding the US and Europe ... all going according to his plan
I don’t think he *just* betrayed them. He’s been betraying them for quite a while, with his bigoted immigration policies for refugees.
To please the REINANTS of the Ottoman Empire.
Do you mean Remnants?
Yep the Left Overs.
Christianity has been targeted directly in US for over 100 years ago. Longer in Germany and even longer in other parts of the world
The Lucifereans (psychopathic sodomite elites) have to destroy the Christian Worldview—wipe it off the face of the earth-—to flip Good and Evil. US has been allowed to demonize Christianity inside the schools since 1960 and even earlier after the Monkey Trials.
Now, Satanism/Lucifereanism is the only allowed religion in schools—the only faith embedded into our children through pride in anal sex days and moral relativism (no truth, no right and wrong embedded-—feel good, do it (Satanism).
The plan since John Dewey and Jeckyl Island, has been to brainwash little chidlren—get them out of the Natural Fmaliy into mass indoctrination systems where the Lucifereans write all the curricula-—and they infiltrated and took over all the major “Christian” religions—including the Catholic Church-—to destroy them from within-—to destroy the Faith of the masses so that the Worldview of Christianity is eliminated.
Why? For the NWO, they can’t have Free Will and Individualism—Individual Natural Rights from God. The Age of Reason/Modern Science was only possible with a Christian Worldview in childhood...they need group-thinkers, a collective, a hive-—herds where you can cull and control every idea, every desire, etc. and where the State is god and can dictate good and evil
It’s what muslims do and he is one
He hates Christianity. In any form.
Good multitasking from the golfer.
Can’t wait for Trump to be elected! It will be soooo nice to be proud of our president again.
No! Be fair to Hussein; he would NEVER do anything like that to please the Turks!
Hedid it for HIMSELF, as any narcissistic muhamedan, with a chip on his shoulder the size of Manhattan would do to the West and Christians!
