Maybe Putin is getting nervous the impeachment thing may work so is playing the short game and pushing the buttons rather than being patient and playing the long game of deniability.

They say that. People tell me that. Of course I’m not saying that. They say Putin might just be trying to turn the jury against trump as well. I don’t know that’s just what they say.

A. Shouldn’t have ever been there

B. If you blame the POTUS I question where was the veracity holding congress to the fire to vote for it instead of relented power to the executive.

Z I agree with A and also blaming congress. But we are where we are now and can't pretend we are not. That does not absolve POTUS.

Absolution?

This is a perfect decision for him. At press conference the other day he explained it perfectly....I don't have the quotes, but I understood him to say:

-The Kurds are very fine people...in fact, there are very fine people on both sides
-The Kurds don't have an actual country - so they are pretty much a nobody who really can't do much of anything for us
-I like Erdogen...so f the Kurds
-Besides, Erdogen said he's only going to kill the bad Kurds and just in a small strip of Syria....who's really concerned that it isn't even Turkey? Not me?
-My base wants me to bring troops home....they didn't say anything about protecting Kurds
-My base really doesn't gaf about foreign policy, so f it....I'll do what I want

Plus, this gives the R's something to bitch about without pizzing off the Trump base, or Trump, himself, really. Everyone wins here...(except maybe some Kurds)....and just maybe Turkey likes Trump a little more than Putin this week....

I don't see Trump finding anything the least bit wrong or anything to change.

Very true. He himself said he had a conflict of interest in this regard.

And lets not forget this makes Putin and Assad very happy and those are his peeps.

I don't know how we became "allies" with the Kurds, other than sharing the same hatred towards ISIS. But they've obviously been fighting the fight so I have to question why we'd pull back.

In the meantime, we should pull out of NATO even faster.

F*ck those good-for-nothing azz-wipes.

Trump pulls out American Troops, the world is aghast, meanwhile NATO sits there with their collective thumbs up each others azz.


Turkey has millions of Syrian refugees.
They claim they're simply clearing out a safe zone to return them.
Not sure it's the job of the US to refuse them that right, especially since we tried to keep out Syrian refugees from the beginning.
