When did we fight a war for Israel?
It’s not our role. Turkey can spend its own money on their problems.
They sure do.
ISIS was trucking their blood oil to Turkey for sale.
Do not help the Ottoman Empire.
And Obama decided to let ISIS ship billions of dollars of oil to fund their operations through Turkey to avoid environmental damage.
Russia then targeted thousands of oil tankers and ended that.
The whole world wants access to the US military and our money. Time to stop this crap.
The U.S. can provide most military assistance anywhere in the world at moments notice. “Boots on ground” and planting the flag in Syria permanently is unnecessary and serves very little American purpose.
Turkey is a NATO nation - I’ll bet the Germans and the French would do a dandy job for them.
No.
Turkey told us to take a hike in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Payback is a medevac.
Arm. Training. No. That’s how ‘’mission creep’’begins. Going on almost twenty years of this non stop warring in these Middle Eastern sh!t holes. Enough. For Gods sake enough.
I’m open to better suggestions.
Stay out of it completely. Almost twenty years of warfare in The Middle East . Ok , Saddam is gone, Great. Afghanistan? Nuke the place or just plain get out. And what is Syria to us? I don’t give a rats behind about Muslims killing each other. I’m tired of seeing our young men and women coming home in body bags. Coming home with broken bodies and broken minds because they’re fighting for Middle Eastern satraps.
Tell Erdogan that if he needs help, he'll need to repair Turkey's relationship with Israel, a relationship that Erdogan broke. He won't do it, of course. He asked for our pullout, he's got it. And it sobered him up something fierce as his allies' (the other two amigos) masks came off. It sobered up our EU "friends" as well. Thanks BenLurkin.
