Not only are our troops not caught in the middle of a fight we don’t belong in, we now have a permanent ceasefire announced today and the Kurdish Commander personally thanked the President for dealing with Turkey and reaffirmed Kurdish support for the US

Terrible news for the TDS lunatics!

 
Congrats for trying to defend something that basically our whole military thought and still thinks was a horrible idea.

Yep it was so terrible that the Kurdish Commander of the SDF went out of his way to thank Trump.

sorry the success of this plan makes you sour

Wow, a public 'thank you' to our President from a Kurdish Commander!!!

Admittedly, it was a very strange public announcement from this Kurdish Commander considering that Amnesty International has reported it has damning evidence of war crimes and other violations against the Kurds by the Turks after Trump gave Erdogan the green light to invade Syria.

Makes you wonder what Trump's quid pro quo was THIS TIME. :)
 
The guy with no military experience not taking advice from the generals with 40 decades of military experience, what could go wrong?

How dare you dismiss Cadet Bone Spur's STD battles, his own personal Vietnam

2 weeks ago the only thing keeping the 2 parties from war was our troops. Today they have a treaty between themselves.

Which one do you prefer?
 
It's a win for the world. Trump is the first president since the 1920s that was smart enough to stop doing the same insane thing over and over again and here we are: a treaty between 2 factions that hate one another.

Treaty or wiped off the face of the Earth? Hmmm....which to choose.

Both sides have been aggressors and the only thing keeping them from all-out war was the presence of our troops. Now we have a somewhat diplomatic agreement between the 2 parties because we can't continue being their nanny.

So what's better? Us inadvertantly allowing the Kurds to run terrorist missions in Turkey by being their bulwark, or sending the signal to them that if you don't get your crap in order the other guy is going to smash your face in?

These are not the Yazidi that we are talking about. These Kurds are like the Shia militias.

Americans are out of harms way, we are not involving ourselves in a conflict we have nothing to do with, Turkey can resettle refugees, the Kurds are happy with the US mediating a ceasefire, and yet liberals are still butthurt since Trump did it

I guess I missed when the left flipped to wanting our troops involved in foreign conflicts that we shouldn’t be in

I guess hypocrisy is too enticing for some

Ironically, the most egregious impeachable offense is the way Trump has done Putin's bidding in the Middle East. Thanks to Trump's actions, Russia has gone from a minor player in the region to The Major Player in the span of two short weeks.

When history finally tells the full story of Trump, we'll learn how Americans were royally duped because Trump has been Putin's toady from the start.
 
But I thought Democrats don't like American troops in harms way?
Oh, wait, I forgot, they became the pro-War party 5 years ago.

I've pointed this out in the past but you ignore everything that refutes your ignorant, incorrect views but I'll restate it:

You're a giant, massive liar.

Russia did not just become a "player" in the Middle East in the past 2 weeks. Do a fuking 2 second Google search and you'd know this. Russia became a major player in the Middle East the second that Obama refused to enforce his own "red line" in Syria and balked at striking Syria's chemical weapon depots. It was literally within months after that, that Russia began sending their military into Syria and bombing the shit out of the country.

Russia saw that the US was sitting this one out and decided to become the difference maker in this conflict to back up their buddy Assad. Ever since then, Russia has been part of EVERY single decision making process since they're fully entrenched and their alliance with Iran and their militias has never been stronger.

You can either choose to admit you're pushing lies and you were wrong, or not, but I'll keep reminding everyone that you're lying if you keep pushing this bullshit false talking point.

Soooooooo...Nothing really changed as a result of Trump's decision to greenlight the Turkish invasion?

Russia was already 'fully entrenched' with Turkey, Iran, and Syria so our withdrawal was no big deal? Is that your daily spin?

2016: trump says we will shoot down russian jets in syria. Dems freak out because syria asked russia to be there.

2019: trump says we shouldnt be in syria. Dems freak out because russia is there.

Why do I waste time trying to correct such an ignorant, delusional person?

so what exactly are we supposed to do with syria? what would make the dems happy?
We need to be there but cut the funding that makes it possible to be there. Its ok though, we can just cut funding from ICE that acts as though they are preventing an invasion into the US and use those funds to keep Turkey from invading Syria.
 
LOL honestly, kicking Shookster's ass here is way too easy. I eagerly await him telling me that 2015 is the same thing as "two weeks ago" and that big meanie Trump was responsible for Russia's newly developed power in the Middle East back in 2015.

On 30 September, Russia's parliament approved a request by President Vladimir Putin to launch air strikes in Syria. Within hours, the country's first intervention in the Middle East in decades began.

It seems to me that continuing a small group of elite soldiers to lead the Kurds in an effort to eliminate ISIS and keep the region stable isn't too much to ask.

Funny thing. I agree with most of you Conservatives that getting out of Iraq when we did was probably a mistake that contributed to the development of ISIS. But NOW -- solely because Trump's the one in charge -- you want to a repeat what you said was wrong when Obama was the one ordering it? Did we not learn anything from Obama's troop withdrawal? Apparently not.

No? Let me guess, it's SO MUCH DIFFERENT this right, right guys? :rolleyes:

It's ridiculous that our foreign policy has become so politicized. God forbid we look at what's best for our country instead of 'defending the tribe' regardless of how stupid and hypocritical it makes us look.

Hey look, Shookster jumped straight over the posts that proved his prior posts were horseshit and all lies.

Color us shocked! :)

I'm curious what 'horsesh*t' you think you've disproved?

That Russia has replaced the United States as the major player in the region?

its different because we have other nato nations saying they are going to come in an help stablize the region. on top of that, isis was pretty much eliminated. sure there is a risk of them coming back, but now we have an ally there to help stop that. at least thats the plan on paper which is better than what obama had. obama was terrible on foreign policy in the middle east. remind me how lybia is doing. do they still have an active slave trade market. not to mention weve been in that region for almost 20 years now. i think we are all tired of that crap. theyve been killing each other for centuries, i dont think that is going to stop.

So are you mad that Trump didn't correct Obama's passivity that allowed russia into the region?

Yes. I've said in more than one post here that I believe Obama's (Bush-established) troop withdrawal from Iraq back in 2011 was a mistake that contributed to ISIS. (To be up-front, I did support the withdrawal at the time.)

I also believe that the lack of a response from the United States to Assad's use of chemical weapons on his own people was a mistake (I thought it back then and still think it now).

Glad we are on the same page. So now that Trumps actions facilitated a cease fire agreement where do we go from here? Should we keep troops in Iraq and Saudi Arabia or take the same approach as what we did earlier this month?

You literally said that Russia only became a major player in the region in the 2 weeks following Trump's decision to move soldiers back from the front.

I proved, easily, what a giant lie this was.

You are now, of course, trying to spin your way out of it and refusing to admit you lied.

So I'm 'spinning' because I dared to say that Russia went from being "a minor player to The Major Player in the region?" (I have taken the liberty of adding the bold, italic, and underline to highlight the clever attempt at deception the eagle-eyed 85 uncovered.)

Curses, foiled again!!! You EXPOSED my 'giant lie.'

Does my falsehood get corrected if I say, "Russia went from one of the Middle East players to The Major Player in the region"?
