We used to have a leader who kept our agreements, even those entered into by predecessors. The Kurds fought for us in Iraq, going back to the Bush days and in this sector of Syria, since 2014.

and we have abandoned our allies at every turn when it became politically expedient.
or is it your assertion that trumps current f**k-over is an anomaly?
because I could regal you for days how we,as a nation,have torn up 100's of treaties.

this is in no way a defense of trump.
this impromptu decision has far-reaching consequences,and it so ill-thought,and so buffoonish that I would laugh if it weren't so abysmally sad,and dumb.

All of the consequences fall in a way that benefit Russia. I seriously doubt it was as impromptu as you might believe. It is disgusting that our allies now are witnessing him be the lackey of Putin. No one can believe him or trust him.

well,we shall disagree on that note.

I feel it is more about Ukraine and turkey.
neo-nazis and fascists,respectively, seeking to expand their power and influence.
and we get to poke at iran.
this is not going to end well.

I know you believe in the Russian connection.
I disagree,and am not interested in hashing it out on a meme site.

lol

Read history. Obama worked with the Kurds to fight ISIS. The thrust to take their stronghold, Raqqa, would take place during Trump's watch. Obama's people went to Trump's camp and the plan was rejected by John Flynn who was later convicted for not register as an agent of Turkey. The Kurds got the weapons and took Raqqa for us, and since Trump was president it was his right to take credit for it.

I guess that's why Al Nusra and ISIS got funding and supplies covertly under the Obama regime. Guess that's why ISIS apologized to Israel the one time they mistakenly attacked Israel.

Regardless of how any of us feel about being in a conflict, we need to see things through to the end. When I was in the Army 68-69, we were taught that only a coward cuts and runs. Leaving an ally as a sitting duck after they gave the lives of 11,000 of their countrymen for us, is the worst kind of disloyalty. America has a history of loyalty and honor that was thrown away this week.

We screwed over the Shi'a in southern Iraq too, pretty disgusting.

Eloquence incarnate!

I was wondering how childish this therad would get. I am not frickin' Rambo. You are not going to make me whine with that line. The only sorrow I am feeling today is for the 60,000+ refugees a few days of fighting has created and the hundreds of human beings who are now dead, who were alive last week. Last week, they thought we had their backs. America can no longer be trusted. I don't see how this "Makes America Great." I don't understand how this radical move is anything close to being what a "conservative" would do And, I don't understand how the once proud Republicans can cower in dark corners, afraid to say that this is not normal or acceptable.
