But, but, but, candidate Trump promised non-intervention.

How is this any different from what Hitlery would have done?

Syria: a half decade old US/ISIS covert war to overthrow Assad We're fighting ISIS.

Trump & Hitlery: Syria contains Damascus and borders Israel & Jerusalem, guess what comes next? Syria is vital to the national security of the US.

You have to wonder what is going on inside Erdogan private residence? Does he throw lamps and ashtrays around? Or will he order 1000 or more anti-Erdogan people to be killed? Or both.

"The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming."They have been here for years...in our schools, or churches and our many organizations.

“We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.

“We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.”

This is a quote attributed to the late Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

SOCIALISM IS A BABY STEP TO COMMUNISM...and well known to Socialist Obama who is still trying to destroy America, Land of The Free" Obama has hated white America for years and is educated in Nikita Khrushchev's pronouncement.

I like the Kurds and would like for them to get some payback but no one except close family has EVER given me any weapons?

Do you have to petition foreign governments to give you guns? It seems lately you dont even have to ask for them unless you really, really need them, and then, of course, the answer is “no”.

Maybe we can sneak a few GPS tracked/remote detonated thermonuclear devices into their shipment.

Reuters reports that the support to the YPG would include armored vehicles and engineer equipment (like bulldozers to clear rubble or obstacles from roads), as well as small arms and ammo.

I’m good with this. He did promise to destroy ISIS, and if we can do this partly through the Kurds, so be it.

We had a Russian foreign exchange student. She was, at 15, more highly educated than most U.S. high school seniors. She had taken Calculus, organic Chemistry, Physics, etc.

Aced all her classes. Best student in English.

She want’s to become an international business woman.

There are very few commies in Russia. A lot more right here. We call them democrats. That’s why the liberals hate Russia. The Russians killed communism by proving it can’t work at the point of a gun.

They had it for 75 years. “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

Russia will be a free country long after we have gone third-world.
