Now Trump is parroting talking points from Russia and Turkey. Still taking orders from Putin, I presume....


Although not a lot has been said about it, this entire fiasco is going to have repercussions for NATO, something Putin will certainly enjoy.

Trump has allowed Putin unlimited access to Syria, and Putin and Erdogan have become very chummy over the last year...

Just recently, Turkey bought a Russian missile system, which is awfully odd for an alleged member of NATO...

In fact, Erdogan is going to be meeting Putin in Russia next week...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/turkey-erdogan-travel-russia-talks-putin-191016204628625.html

And Putin has cleverly aligned himself with Iran...

https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/09/19/putin-is-trolling-the-united-states-in-the-persian-gulf/

Meanwhile, Trump the Twit tweets, abandons our Kurdish allies, and once again it seems darn coincidental that everything he does helps Putin, and magnifies Russian influence worldwide.

They helped us (meaning US) fight ISIS,
That is why so many conservative republicans and generals are not happy with this abandoning of our allies.

If you haven't been following geopolitical news for the past few years, or haven't the slightest clue regarding recent events in the Middle-East, there is no point trying to start now.

Have you ever turned a thought around?  Like...America helped the Kurds.   Republicans and Democrats get massive donations from the Defense Industry.  That's why politicians are pro-War.  Or hadn't you heard...Follow the Money.  I think millions of dollars a more likely motive than politician-altruism.  

Do you know how WW-1 started?  Archduke assassinated, triggers treaties, forcing countries to defend allies,  which in-turn triggered more treaties.    Turkey is in NATO.  Anyone who attacks a NATO country, triggers the NATO treaty.  The Entire European continent supposedly must respond to defend Turkey.     

Trump pulled a total of 50 soldiers out of Syria.   Turkey/Kurd border is 400 miles long.  That's one American soldier, every 8 miles.  Why cant' France defend the Kurds.  How about the UK.  Or Italy?  Or China?  Why must it be America?  America is 7000 miles away.  We should mind our own business.   I want Trump to pull more than 50 troops out of the Middle East.   Let them fight their own wars.   I don't want Trump to inflame or start wars like Obama, the Bushes, and Clinton.  War sucks. 

We'll agree to disagree.  I want Peace. You want War.  Trump peaceful presidency must piss you off.Wink

Aren't ISIS funded by your (allegedly) greatest ally though? Confused

That small contingent of U.S. troops in Syria held its ground and the peace, along with our allies, without casualties for months. By the way, a grand total of 8 U.S. servicemen have died in Syria since 2014. Eight. The last one that died? Due to shelling by the Turks. They were safer there than in South Chicago on a Summer night.

You speak of peace? As soon as Dumbass Don moved the troops (to Saudi Arabia, where he has business investments), the Turks attacked. So much for your vaunted peace. You've been sucking in illusion like it was helium. The world is now a more dangerous place. 

We should mind our own business? Russia is not going to mind its own business. China is not going to mind its own business. Iran is not going to mind its own business. And Trump, evidently is only minding his own business -- literally -- and not minding the interests of the U.S. He is alienating all our allies, not just the Kurds, and kissing the feet of Putin. Every decision Trump has made has strengthened Russia. 

You and bubble boy need to get a room. Padded, preferably. Maybe you can book a suite at that roach motel called the Doral. I hear Donny wants to break further constitutional prohibitions by hosting the G7 meeting there. Bad optics having foreign dignitaries being bitten by bed bugs at a Trump flop house. Will he have moved all the undocumented workers out of there by then? LOL
