And Russia, Iran and Syria will probably respond by saying what our ally Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen is a humanitarian disgrace.
What happened to getting out of these endless and expensive foreign entanglements and bringing our resources back home to make this country great again?
Didn’t the President recently say that we wasted 7 trillion in Iraq and got nothing. Time to spend that money on infrastructure?

I understand but there is a “beyond ISIS” factor at stake here in that: It is not in our (nor Israel’s) long term interest to allow Iran and Russia to cement their presence and sway in the region.
What is happening is despicable. Why don’t the traitors who took up arms against their own country surrender? It’s never mentioned in the news that the anti-Assad forces in safe zones still wage war against their gov.
Sorry Mr President
We have no moral leg to stand on regarding Syria
Up to 24,000 people died in Mosul while we were helping the Iraqis do pretty much the same thing
And then there was the whole creation of ISIS an effort to topple Assad
And the whole Syrian “ civil war’
No - we have no grounds to criticize Russia and Syria for killing Al Qaeda even though it is hiding among civilians as they always have done
They have the same ROE you gave Mattis
