Neither do you.  Its extremely amusing seeing someone so far up Trumps anus that they won't even take a fresh breath of air.

Thanks for confirming what I already knew.   I wasn't the only one that knew where she is hanging out.

Getting back on topic.... I'm glad that we've had a few days to analyze and weigh this decision...a decision that has opened a few wounds here.

It a complex riddle with no easy answer.

1) We have a signed, internationally recognized alliance treaty with Turkey.  We have no such thing with the Kurds.

2) The Kurds are fighting for land.  They've been fighting for their own land for over one hundred years.

3) While we were eradicating ISIS in Syria, we made an arrangement with the Syrian Kurds.  This arrangement had an expiration date and was purposefully set up so as NOT to get us bogged down in another war.

4) Donald Trump campaigned on getting us out of global conflicts that don't actively pursue victory.  No more "policing".

Personally, I think Turkey told us they were going to commence operations and as a courtesy suggested we remove our "50 men".  They were ready to call our bluff, and POTUS Trump is smart enough not to destroy Turkish tanks with missiles.

You are right and I deserve that.  Thank you for pointing out that I also had my ugly on.  I have been very worked up over this change in policy that puts Christians in danger.  Still no reason to get ugly.  Thank you.

Killing me.

Yes, I am a Christian.  I was wrong tonight to engage in this bickering.  But it isn't just about Christians in Syria.  The Kurds are of many different religions maybe not even religious.  But this is the place of early Christianity and they have already suffered under ISIS.  The spin doctors are trying to make Trump look good but he is anything but good.  He is cold and uncaring.  His own words tell the true story.

Here Trump refers to Syria as sand and death when telling his cabinet he wants to withdraw troops.  No wealth so no worth to us.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Trump+sand+and+death&&view=detail&mid=9D1DBC41008D3ED3FCDE9D1DBC41008D3ED3FCDE&rvsmid=981B20B1078E157A9F03981B20B1078E157A9F03&FORM=VDQVAP

Also important to note in the video that Trump is not concerned about a small amount of ISIS coming to America.  He says they will go to Iran, Iraq, Syria and Russia.  When we see ISIS active again, burning people in cages I will think of Trump.  When we see in the news guns pointed at babies heads I will think of Trump.  When they are beheading someone's father, mother or child...…….Trump.   Trumps like a table of contents in a book.  You can look and see what its about without even turning a page.  Its all about wealth. 

No value on the people who live in Syria.  Doesn't care if ISIS is killing in any country except ours.  The other day he said they will go home to Europe.  History is full of dictators with no value on human life.

And he doesn't even care about our military that have been killed in action fighting ISIS.  Try to spin what he said on that video.  He acknowledged that they will go free.  So I wonder how people who have served catching and killing these monsters are going to feel knowing that the President doesn't care.  He doesn't care because most of them will not come here.  But some might.

He said it.  I just watched it.  How can you spin it?  I am sure some will try.

President Trump will be giving an award to a (Christian) person he rescued from Turkey in front of a audience of strong supporter of the
Kurds and Christians in Syria today. Should be interesting to see what he's got to say.

Hope he hears a little anger.  The past week will not be forgotten.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Certainly the Kurds and Christians protected by the Kurds will not forget. But events on the ground will determine Trumps fate. If Turkey
goes big in Syria then Trump will pay big in 2020. If the Turks pull the plug on their invasion then Trump will not suffer much damage.
Right now Trump fate is in the hands of Islamic Turkey.

@Right_in_Virginia

It has been my observation ever since I was a child that is is the most rabidly devout that have the most to worry about if their superstition ends up being factual. It might not be obvious enough you can see it,but there is plenty of it that is deeply hidden.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
