You think there’s no problem that plenty of our allies were killed and ISIS fighters they’d been holding in prison camps escaped to fight again.
Well, as long as it turned out well for us in the short term, who cares about all those Kurdish deaths and sufferiing and the long term effects of that betrayal.
Snorting cocaine off of the bodies of strippers and then taking one into a back room for what we all can imagine is the least depraved thing I’m speaking of here. And this was not back in the 60’s or 70’s. This has been in this century. He is an obese vulgarian who laughs like a hyena away from the public eye at how gullible Republicans are and how rich he is getting off being in Congress.
Why would I need to go anywhere to find out what my opinion should be? I’ll leave that to you libs.
There was no betrayal of the Kurds. We negotiated a ceasefire to give them time to pull back. There are 2 kurdish militant groups. One is our ally (and still our ally) and the other are terrorists bent on attacking Turkey and creating “Kurdistan” something we oppose. The result of the pull back has been an overall positive. The Kurds are still our allies, the Turks have been driven away from their flirtations with Russia, We have removed ourselves as a buffer between the Turks and Kurds who’ve been fighting each other for generations, and the Turks now have the headache of dealing with Assad and his allies more directly.
Ah…you did not make it clear in your initial response to me that your statement was just your opinion, and not based on what top strategic people said.
You are entitled to your opinion - I’m not saying you’re not.
I gather all the information I can so that I can make an informed conclusion.
And my last reponse to you in the Montana Battlegrond thread. ( - Guvnah)
If you’d like to continue to discuss our differing opinions of Trump’s actions and their repurcussions, regarding the Kurds, in a separate thread, where other people might join in, I’d be happy to do so.
Only ones who have ever complained about it to me. Yup.
Yup. The worst are the threads where the whole reply gets quoted, and then one sentence (or even one word) is the response. And then all of that gets quoted, with another one-liner. And on and on. The quote gets longer and longer, with deeper and deeper nesting … all for the sake of adding yet another line (and at that point most of the time it’s just nested bickering.)
