Liz Cheney blasts Trump: "Withdrawing US forces from Northern Syria is a catastrophic mistake..."
Liz Cheney Twitter ^ | Oct 7 2019 | Liz Cheney

Withdrawing US forces from Northern Syria is a catastrophic mistake that puts our gains against ISIS at risk and threatens US security.

This decision ignores lesson of 9/11. Terrorists thousands of miles away can and will use their safe-havens to launch attacks against America.

Getting out of Syria will not make US unsafe but admitting Syrians to US definitely will.

Deport all of them that entered in bush-clinton-obama years.

Add somalis, chechens and residents of other sh1th0les to that deport list also.

Which lead to Korea which led to Vietnam which led to Granada and Iran and Afghanistan and 9/11 and Iraq and Al Qaeda and ISIS and Arab Spring and Syria and ...

I am all for fighting for OUR Constitution, etc. but somehow the war to impose liberal democracy at gun point just isn't a winner - I wonder why that is? Oh, because for liberal democracy to work a lot of people have to want it? Is that it? What an insight. Sheesh! /s/

Liz Cheney, Ihlan Omar & AOC, all dirty war-seekers, are upset.

This means Trump did the right thing!

Turkey will almost certainly NOT get its “butt kicked.” It has by far the most capable military in the middle east. One on one, it would handily defeat any European country other than Russia — maybe England could make the fight last a while.

Yup. I saw that yesterday. Too many don’t pay attention or research before making accusations.

What you said is so true.

The truth is, we have hardly had a serious official presence in the ME since early on in Obama’s first term.

Moscow and Ankura pretty much glued together under Obama. As well, a significant power vacuum was filled, and solidification took place between Moscow and Cairo, and Moscow and Lybia under Obama.

This was the hand Trump was dealt.

While we have had a big impact for some time now, even with our limited contingency of U.S. sof teams and “advisors” (largely suppprted out of a recaptured Al Assad), we have been dwarfed by overall troop levels of Russian and Iranian dirt pounders, and Russian military engineers, building vast new loc’s throughout Syria, Iraq, along the western Red Sea coast, and the coast of Lybia and Egypt. As well, the region has, (and is yet), generally undergoing renewed realignment with Moscow, and it’s often fragile energy flow agenda.

These things have been going on “bigly” since 2010-2012, depending on location.

At this point, most in the west have been kept in the dark, and cannot even begin to comprehend the adversarial build up and infrastructure which is either already in place, or under way.

Additionally, for about 8-10 months now, Moscow has been jamming GPS, (and at times even communications) for commercial flights into Tel Aviv. Further south, Moscow has been assisting Iran with the Huthi against the Saudis from their reoccupied bases just north of our U.S. naval base in DJ. The old SA-6 which brought down our MQ-9 near Yemen, was using newly itegrated 4th gen Russian targeting systems plural. We have now lost three ISR platforms this way. Russian Navy and Air Force now patrol the Red Sea, the coasts of Libya an Egypt, the Aegean and Eastern Med, and the Gulf of Aden. Chinese Navy, Marines, and Air Force has been increasingly integrating throughout the region heavily since Obama as well. The Russians operate two naval resupply facilities on western Cyprus. Russian bases along the coast of Libya (including now in Benghazi), Egypt, and Syria include reinforced (often as UGF’s) C4I facilities, S-400’s sites, Calibre, and other 4th/5th gen anti ship missiles, and Russian fighter and bombers.

As a Christian, yes, I feel bad about what has been, and will be faced by innocent children and people. However, at this point, moving a few dozen “sof” related teams out of a potentially rediculous hot zone, really will make very little difference.

From a strategic perspective, if anything, it may even allow us the ability to really go heavy if needed.

The vacuum was filled by Moscow and terrorist thugs, and the course set under Obama, not Trump.

Without getting into the argument as to what we could have done, or should have done, or all the mistakes we have made, for all the Rino’s and lefty’s, it was the obamanation and his witch who massively turned the ME, the Eastern Med, and HoA back over to Moscow and regional thugs.

Sure it’s a heated subject, but with the trajectory in place since Obama, nukes may well be Israel’s only defense in the near future. A lot of people in the ME and Eastern EU are probably totally screwed in the near future. One controversial idea, which has been seemingly passed over, which actually may have significantly changed a few minds, but would have been very expensive, would have been to do what we did in Japan, Germany, Italy, or what we are now doing in Poland and Romania, and build a couple new super bases (with overwhelming American firepower and anti missile and armor systems), between Israel and Jordan or maybe the northern Red Sea. But that is not happening.

As Trump is Putin’s worst nightmare in just about every conceivable way, question is, will Putin hold off until Trump is gone, or will Putin try to force Trump’s hand, thereby making Trump’s foreign policy objective to try and keep the peace, become a failure?

Liz’ daddy is the epitomy of “military-industrial-congressional complex operative.

Did Dick Cheney even see one war, to successful completion?
