I wouldn’t mind so much if I knew that we were actually kicking ass and taking names and not pussyfooting around.

Let ISRAEL do it.

I’ll be the whole Trumpet section.

THEIR corner of the world, not ours.

Our next step should be to recognize KURDISTAN! Guts Syria, Turkey and part of Iraq (if need be) to provide US with a “new” ally v the new Russian-Turk-Syrian Alliance in the M.E.

McTrump needs to defend Obama’s Syrian legacy.

Is President Trump still being played by the forever war Deep State? I was hoping that the NYT reveal would’ve smartened him up to their agenda.

We were supposed to be getting out I thought.

This is a mistake in my opinion. The longer we hang around the better the chances of an escalating war that ends who knows when or where.

We’ve effectively destroyed ISIS in Syria, time to declare victory and go home. Russia is right when they say the Syrian government has the right to establish control over all of their territory.

Needed more is Trump ordering 100 Marines to do a live-fire air demonstration over Washington D.C. to send a strong message to the swamp.

I hope only live fire exercises to spend some of our tax dollars stored up in missiles and give The United States Marine Corps some action.

Controlling the border region of Northern Iraq and Syria. It’s strategic in many ways including the Oil. For the small number of troops it gives the Kurds and others time to breathe and with ISIS in Mosul recently wiped out some buffer in the region. Basra in extreme southern Iraq is on fire at the moment and this Syria/Iraq region could become another powder keg. No use in letting the Iranians kick it off.

Netanyahu and Putin meet more often than teenagers on a hot date. Whatever they have worked out, I don’t know. I do know that the Jewish oligarchs in both Israel and Russia have numerous contractual agreements that benefit both Israel and Russia.

The US needs to butt out, and let the dice roll amongst the various players in that area of the Middle East.

today, it looks like the Marines are killing camel spiders and sand fleas - and that is a very good thing because nothing ticks a Marine off more than not being able to blow things up once in a while

We’re following John McCain’s & Bill Kristol’s (and George Soros’) orders to support terrorist Jihadists & exterminate what remains of Syria’s Christian community.

That’s the mission & Trump hasn’t ended it. Appears he’s increasing it now.

Um, punishing the Russians for not letting Hillary win?

Protecting Israel, stopping Iran’s push to the Med, and countering Russia’s bid to take over the rest of the ME, among other items.
