We our recent move out of bases in syria. Leaving behind food and supplies. How much money did we just waste?
Seein how Russia took over, the kurds got screwed and… now having to put troops back in?
I’m just curious if anyone knows of anyone who was so against government waste with spending was upset by this?
No? Okie dokie…
Oh trump got booed and this some moral outrage about being victims is more important…got it.
Are you equating yourself with a deer about to get kicked in the rear end by an AK-47 he or she wasn’t expecting?
What is your actual opinion of Trump’s Syrian activities?
Here’s the breakdown as I understand. Please link to any facts that contradict what I write.
A skeleton force of US soldiers in Syria was preventing the Turks from invading the country and harming our Kurdish allies in their ethnic cleansing desire.
Trump has a phone call with the Turkish president, and Trump has hotels in Turkey.
Trump tells his top brass to remove the skeleton force from Syria because it’s time we, the US, got out of that endless war. He reassures any who care that if Turkey gets too mean, he’ll wipe out their economy.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle protest Trump’s order and point out what is going to happen (and what does happen - the very next day).
The very next day Turkey invades and innocent civilians are killed, buildings destroyed etc., to create a dead “buffer zone.”
Trump orders a thousand troops sent to Saudi.
After a few days of killing, Trump installs sanctions on Turkey.
The US brokers a cease fire between Turkey and Syria. Trump immediately lifts sanctions
Trump moves soldiers back into Syria.
What did Trump accomplish with this Conan? Please enlighten me.
So the betrayal of our allies the Kurds, the total waste of money of taking our troops out and then putting them back in again, you are okay with that? You didn’t think it was obvious that that would happen?
So you’re okay with our betrayal of the Kurds - our allies.
Do you have any idea what other allies of ours are thinking at this moment? That they can’t trust the US.
Do you not think that will harm us in the long run and lead to more American lives being lost?
You don’t think a whole group of people that were once our allies, that now hate us, won’t be up for a little revenge if they get the chance? That’s only human nature…
I don’t think any revenge they may take - and I hope it won’t happen but when people have been betrayed who knows where their rage and despair will take them - can be described as a backstab. More of a, “this is for my family that you people left behind to die, you SOB.”
