Politics Dont like the guy...but I like his decision

[Hoopguru]

to pull our troops from the Syrian border. There no way we should get bogged down any further in that region.

 

[riverman]

Given how the Turks have treated the Kurds in their own county...this is not a good thing. Turkey is run by a group of henchmen...ask Enes Kantor about their code of conduct.

 

[Hoopguru]

I see your point but they’ve been so tribal in that region and fighting amongst themselves for centuries. The Islamic nations need to come together and clean up their own neighborhood.
If the don’t want to be civil with one another over there I just don’t see how we make a difference.
The Kurds and Turks Shia and Sunnies all need to bring about peace on their own. But I doubly it will even happen.

I don't see a Turkish invasion doing anything but causing more violence in the region. These are the events that ISIS or Al Quaida or Hamas thrive on....great for their recruiting program. I don't want any of our troops over there period...never have.

Stay the F outta there. Not our problem.

Trump's foreign policy boils down to the following reasoning:

"Does it help Putin?"

 

[julius]

My god...

He's destroyed and obliterated an economy before?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

My god...

"...my great and unmatched wisdom..."?

Ugh...

 

[CupWizier]

He's destroyed and obliterated an economy before?

Is he secretly predicting the future for the USA? The guy is one of the most vindictive people I have ever seen and wouldn't shock me if he gets backed up to far into a wall what he might do.

Another campaign promise kept, much to the disdain of the Deep State.

"...my great and unmatched wisdom..."?

Ugh...

Yeah, I read that and instantly whispered to myself, "fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk".

Narcissistic personality Disorder ftw.

Please pardon the religious reference, but at church we've been studying the book of Daniel, and Trump's self-worship is approaching Nebuchadnezzar levels ("I'll set up an image all must worship, and execute those who won't comply!).

It's tough for me to see how anyone professing allegiance to Jesus can also support this kind of idolatry.

 

[calvin natt]

Republicans coming out against this decision. But trump supporters in here all for it. Sheep.

 

[Strenuus]

Another campaign promise kept, much to the disdain of the Deep State.

And apparently, your own party.

Ouch. Back to the drawing board for you.

 

[Hoopguru]

You dont have to be a Trump supporter to want the hell out of there.
Let the Islamic nations clean up their own mess fro once in history.

Not empowering ISIS is of interest to the US as well.

Just fyi.

I realize that...but its a community issue that has to be of interest to other islamic nations.
ISIS has learned that if they push us to far we can in quick fashion address it we still have troops in the mid east.

Believe it or not, I grew up in a very Christian household and totally know your reference. I can't deny its accuracy and agree with you 100%.

It’s not just tough to understand, it is impossible to understand or justify. Which is why, again, it’s fake and people are using religion as some sort of shield to hide behind. It’s disgusting.

 

[theprunetang]

Trump is probably the least Christ-like person I can think of off the top of my head. His support from evangelicals is as baffling as it is hypocritical. If evangelical Christians wanted to further ostracize themselves from society and drive the percentage of churchgoers in the country down further, they couldn't have picked a better person to tie their stakes to.

“Finally, this decision will further exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis by creating new waves of refugees in a region where it will be far more difficult for NGOs to operate. This decision is ultimately a victory for Assad, Russia, Iran, and ISIS.

Didn't need to look hard for a motive.

 

[Propagandist]

The fuck? How is anyone okay with abandoning/betraying the Kurds? This might be the worst thing Trump had done and he's just seeding a brand new generation of anti-American sentiment. The wrecking ball into American credibility is in full swing. Fuck this is frustrating.

 

[barfo]

This is very shameful. But this is just the beginning of what you get half the country decides to 'burn it down'.

There will be much more to come.

I had some amazing cheese curds at the A & W in Sweet Home this summer. Actually the entire meal was great. Just a really old school A & W where they still hang the tray of food on your car window.

And what about ISIS?

They use to have an A & W not too far from Eugene on a pass through the Cascades. Can't remember the name of the little town. I presume it's still there. They've got an A & W in the Beaverton/Aloha area at a gas station if I recall right. And they use to have one in Seaside but it's long gone.
When I was a kid, there was an A & W in Oswego right near George Rogers Park. I hated it when they closed it. They had frosty root beer in a frosty mug with car hops on roller skates serving you on trays hung on the driver's window. Yum.

 

[Hoopguru]

And what about ISIS?

Well, Im sure they now realize that when we go after them that they will be hit hard. Why cant the other Muslem nations address them, they have the money and with a concerted effort deal with them.
Groups like ISIS will always thrive and survive in that neighborhood unless they are rooted out by the countries in that region. And even with that, there will always be tribes waring against one another in that regions.
We still have armed forces in that region that could react in quick surgical manner on a given notice.

Well, we've seen how the Saudis handle warfare. And the Iranians had better keep their noses out of it. So, who does that leave? The Russians? Besides, it was us that those type of terrorists attacked savagely. I say - NEVER AGAIN.
