"Last I heard, I thought the Turks were bombing Kentucky."
Right. (It was right after they hit that Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon pretty hard...)

Sorry...need more coveffe
Posting at 5am from Aegean island, Greece,
Lights out and they already screw one another. Lawrence of Arabia pointed that out... American troops in Turkey know about their bath house boys.
Trump knows what he is doing ALWAYS..people who underestimate him end up with sh*t on their faces
if this mess doesn’t get straightened out without terrible loss of Kurdish lives, I’m going to vote for someone else. Or not vote.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You would flush our last chance to keep the United States of America because some Kurds get killed?
Right. (It was right after they hit that Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon pretty hard...)
Obviously it should be ratings, but spellcheck just invented a word I never saw before. Sounds like a novel insult to use on the leftists.
Lindsey Graham so dead wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He’s dead wrong about amnesty, too.
We really do have to replace Bush League Republicans.
they made it to the 30 mile post and screamed uncle. They should have stopped at 20 then Trump wouldn’t be so pissed off, they are going to have to leave and now SDF guns are going back in trange of Turkey when they weren’t before
My vote is symbolic. I live in WA, a totally liberal state.
It’s my conscience I have to live with.
It looks like Trump has done better for these terrible Kurds than they ever dreamed possible, short of losing US soldier lives, which these FReepers were happy to do to prove we loved the terrorist, communist, Muslim Kurds.
The Kurds do not deserve any further special help from us.
It’s amazing how you are happy to throw soldiers’ lives at the problem, but skeptical about any non-military solution from Trump to the extent you won’t vote for him if any terrorist, communist Kurds are hurt.
You are a warmonger on behalf of non-US citizens.
They sound like “Veto!”
I heard that Kurds were Christians and our allies. Your comment says they are far from it. You may be correct. How do you know this?
Bishop to G5

But. Kurds are Christians.
No, they aren’t. They are primarily Muslims.
Read a bit:
From Wikipedia:
“A majority of Kurds belong to the Shafi‘i school of Sunni Islam, but significant numbers practise Shia Islam and Alevism, while some are adherents of Yarsanism, Yazidism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds
Also from Wikipedia (“Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria“):
“Some of the criticism against the region has included opposition to conscription, and claims of authoritarianism, Kurdification, ban on critical journalists, the promotion of an anti-capitalist ideology, and influence from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (commonly known as PKK).”
“Most ethnic Kurdish and Arab people in Northern Syria adhere to Sunni Islam...”

LOL
Love him. What a great president! :)
Who needs “supporters” like you?
Thank you very much. I appreciate your taking my questions seriously. Some here just shot me in the foot. And I’ve been here since 1997, entirely serious and need answers because I don’t claim to know everything. .
not sure what large loss by Kurds is reason not to vote for Trump, perhaps another dim that will get us into another needless war, or keep us in wars for another couple of decades, name a valid alternative, Kurds would shoot us in the back if it furthered their needs, we used them when we needed and they used us when they needed. Perhaps we should go everywhere in the world and save everyone who might be the enemy of my enemy at this moment. As a vet who has deployed too many times to the ME, they would knife us in the back when we no longer serve their purpose, and I dread the day having to do another ceremony for a fallen service member who died doing their duty. Sad thing is to “try” and solve an unsolvable situation, yes I am bitter
