mcconnel and the rest of the gopE in congress have been undermining Trump since before he was sworn in. They are no different then the dems. They just have the cowardly luxury of sitting back and letting the dems do the heavy lifting.
VDH nails it...again...as always!
Anyone that discusses the Kurd ‘war-machine’, has to contend with the PKK which is funneling the money into the system. Between money-laundering, drug-distribution, and kidnapping...they are a unwise ‘friend’ and you can’t allow yourself to be partnered to something like this.
This is just Northrop Grumman.

Plug in the name on your "Find" function of those raising a stink about Syria and you are probably going to find them there.
(and some you probably thought you wouldn't find there as well)
California's recipients should be of interest to you, Mr. Jim.

My question: Why do we still have nukes in Incirlik? I'd like to see our Commander-in-Chief order all of those nukes removed, all at once and without making it public until they are gone (or ever, except that the Deep State would leak the decision immediately - even if they knew that would risk the security of those nukes in transit).
As for the Turks holding “hostage” our 50 nukes (that we stupidly haven’t retrieved from Incirlik Airbase yet), not a problem.
Every cargo plane that flies out of Incirlik needs to carry an extra “passenger” or two. Every flight, every day.
It won’t take long to ship 50 nukes. Just don’t tell anybody, ESPECIALLY the Turks. They probably have plans for those warheads.
If being involved in whatever Kurdish separatism is going g on is such a good idea, then Nancy Pelosi should call a vote and declare war. I’m sure Romney and Graham will support such a vote in the Senate.
So alll the chicken hawks can go have their war and own it.
Of course, they won’t because. (1) no clue who to declare war against and (2) all they really want to do is attack Trump.
But this is the line. If it’s such a great idea, declare war Nancy.
Victor Davis Hansen is an exemplary historian and researcher. I place more weight in his opinion that others. THank you, Jim.
Start here: “The chief problem is that the Kurds are our friends but not our legal allies. In contrast, the Turks are not really our friends anymore but are legal, treaty-bound allies.”
I don’t know the mechanism and I understand there currently is no way to de-list a NATO member. This has to be a multi-national effort or none at all, otherwise, all of our treaties are pointless.
[....] Those on the left now screaming about loyal allies, and the ignominy of selling out friends, had no problems abandoning the Vietnamese and Hmong to Communist retaliation. They have demanded abject withdrawals from both Afghanistan and Iraq, which could lead to slaughter in the former case, and actually did in the latter, by creating a void that birthed the mass-murdering ISIS in Iraq.
It's pure political pandering by the leftist pukes (apologies for the alliteration).

Hanson is about the only historian I trust now.
