Amazing how much courage Trump has, standing alone against the hordes of baying war demons — of both parties – in that town.
Oh so NOW the Kurds are no angels. Let’s rewrite history.
So when does Trump pull troops out of Turkey? Not likely right?
So if we should lose lives for Syria, why is Trump OK with losing lives in Afghanistan?
Russia/Assad are the good guys in Syria.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” “Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.” “I don’t like that man very much, so I am going to try to get to know him better.”
These are all quotes from famous folks that address this topic.
>>>The Kurds are mercenaries pure and simple
And now the all volunteer US military is working as meecenaries for Saudi Arabia.
“Saudi Arabia has agreed to pay us for everything we’re doing to help them.”
Arab Spring? I thought it was the brand name of the stick deodorant male arabs preferred for the domestic animals they enjoyed regular intercourse with.
“We had no business being in Syria to start with...”
The 16 Times Obama Promised “No Boots on the Ground” in Syria”
Those pesky little facts again...
Saudi Arabia is the big buffer against Iran. And we’re clearly not going to get into nation building in Saudi Arabia, so this is just a strategic alliance.
Report back when you do. ( bet you won’t)
I met a group of young army MEN the other day at a hotel. These were fine young gentlemen of white, black, and hispanic heritage. All very polite and outstanding. The thought of them being sent into a meat grinder disgusts me.
>>>Saudi Arabia is the big buffer against Iran. And we’re clearly not going to get into nation building in Saudi Arabia, so this is just a strategic alliance.
But would we be there if Saudi wasn’t paying for it? Is putting 2,800 more troops in the line of fire truly in the national interest or is it just good business?
It may be Syria and Russia’s problem now, but pretty soon, Russia will decide they don’t need to be there either. That will leave Turkey against Assad and what is left of the Iranians. Might be fun to watch.
Trump is the lone man standing athwart history yelling stop!
IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM! WE NEED TO STOP BEING THE WORLD’S POLICE. And under President Trump, we are stopping to be the world’s police.
+infinity for Trump
He’s absolutely right. This is a phrase American political leaders need to reacquaint themselves with.
We are not responsible for cleaning up all the world’s messes nor for fighting everybody else’s battles for them.
Maybe he only believes in dealing with on disaster at a time.
I think it’s Turkey’s never ending War
I believe that'll be next. If you recall, Trump talked about doing that a year ago, but backed off after an angry Senate GOP response. That was in the middle of the Mueller witch hunt and Trump may have wanted not to ruffle too many feathers. Now that he is going to succeed in Syria, I predict he will feel emboldened to revisit the Afghan quagmire.
Not only what you have mentioned, but have Turkey kicked out of NATO.
