The PKK is just one faction of the Kurdish people just as the Weather Underground or Black Lives Matter or the Libertarian Party, Democrats, Republicans, Pentecosts, Mormons, are just factions of Americans.
Like these groups there are often internal factions, and often there are temporary alliances even among factions with otherwise hostile relationships, when conditions force it.
Trump is absolutely right on Syria
Syria been a Russian Client state since the 1950s. We weren’t there fighting Isis. We were running guns from Libya to Syria to “arm the freedom fighters” and topple Assad. It was “regime change” again.
Amazing how our “journalists” just ignored all the weapons and money O’s crime club, with the help of McCain, dumped into Syria that ended up arming ISIS.
What our moron squad Obama-Clinton-McCain etc were too stupid to learn is that Isis is one part of the Anti Assad forces. So anything we gave the “freedom fighters” ended up in Isis hands.That why you saw the pictures of all the trucks we bought “the freedom fighters” hauling Isis troops around
We had NO BUSINESS being in Syria. Trump is merely cleaning up one of the disastrous mistakes the DC Lobby for for Perpetual War made
Ever wonder why the O regime did nothing to stop ISIS selling oil out of Syria? Why the 0’s regimes rules of engagement specifically prevents bombing oil shipments or oil wells? It wasn’t until Trump brought it up at a 2015 debate that O was forced to take action. That what broke ISIS back, not some 50 guys hanging out with the Kurds.
Remember all the bombast at the 2015 debates where both Democrat, and Republican, candidates where trying to out macho each other on a No Fly Zone against Russia in Syria? If any of that “thinking” had been made policy we would of been in a shooting war with Russia over Syria now.
Trump is trying to clean up the mess Bush 1-Clinton-Bush 2 and Obama created.
Frankly I prefer Trump’s attempts to return to the pre Bush family traditional US policy.
Bush the 1st made a massive mistake ending our “Over the Horizon” posture in the ME. By failing to decisively win Desert Storm in 1991 Bush locked us in a full body hug with the Middle East tar-baby ever since. We been fighting in the area almost 30 years now because of that disastrous mistake
Yup. Graham should have kept his trap shut until he knew the facts and the President’s plans.
Ohhh boyeee... Donald has been getting hammered from all sides in this Syria pullout (*snicker) business. How cool would it be to see him demonstrate once again his genius and foresight and have this be another ‘see I told ya so’ victory.
Those poor democrats just might have to collectively check in to rehab. Ole Hillary has gone round the bend and Shiff...well....that guy is being investigated for his cahootery with a meth-head homo democrat donor named Ed Buck.
Lindsey Graham. Always a day late and a dollar short when it comes to the President.
Excellent summary of how we got into the mess Trump is trying to pull us out of.
Halloween and McCain’s ghost is haunting Lindsay.
To hell with Graham. He couldn’t give Trump 24 hours.
Too little too late Lindsey
Six years is far too long for senate terms. Should be a max of 4 years and a max of two terms. Four terms max for the two year representatives.
I agree that Trump was right in the first place. Graham’s latest argument sounds like he hopes Trump will agree to some permanent Syria presence and then say that’s what he intended to do all along.
Yeah, he’s sometimes a pain, but I still like the way he’s changed since McStain cashed in his chips.

linda flip flopping again. Not surprising. He does that a lot, unfortunately.
Being investigated for his association with Buck?
Please let it be so....
Guess what candy as just looked at his re-election polling numbers? He needs to be primaried!
Trump doesn’t make big moves like this without a plan to deal with the consequences.

Another blast to the status quo thanks to DJT.
DC is nothing but lobbyist financed groupthink.
