    So what is your opinion on Trump sending over a 1000 soldiers to Saudi Arabia in the last three months? Yep, sent from the relative safety of Northern Syria to get involved in the current war with Yemen

    Volunteer for the military and go over there. You're pretty generous with other people's lives.

    Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathon Hoffman said in a statement Friday. "Taken together with other deployments, this constitutes an additional 3,000 forces that have been extended or authorized within the last month."The US has increased the deployment of forces in the region by 14,000 since May

    So much for bringing the troops home!

    No, not the question. I asked you say you break word just with some of your allies?

    What worth has USA word and oath in your opinion?

    Than it's about time the US stop using their veto against the Israeli atrocities, stop their military funding, and remove the 10,000's of American Jewish settlers who are living illegally in Palestine.

    To defend each other when one is attacked. Germany did keep its word and stood at your side in Afghanistan in 911. We have doubts you would stand with us If we get attacked

    Because if you were a PotUS, you could demonstrably say that American soldiers in northern Syria were helping the Kurds to keep out the remnants of ISIS who are looking to regroup and exact monies to once again attack America. They did it once before out of Iraq, and we went to war with them in Iraq.

    By helping the Kurds - which have ALWAYS been friendly to the US - we keep ISIS out of northern Syria (and its oil) - which in fact, they did once possess!

    I take exception with "your idiot politics".

    You haven't the faintest notion - and it is thoroughly evident - of what is happening in the Middle-east. One-liners are all you're-good-for ...

    Our Oath or any promise to help others is mute under Trump. If the GIVE HIM SOMETHING then he will help. He does not care about America, its people, or doing what is right. I dont understand why Americans cannot understand that.

    Funny to see his rally's and see the people, all trailer trash. I know this type, much of my family is UNDER Educated and buy into the propaganda. It is all they have, the watch WWE smackdown, family guy, The Simpsons, run out to (everything Burger) get lunch, stop for a latte on the way home, order Pizza and a 2 litre bottle of coke for dinner. Then wonder where all their money goes. Now they blame Immigrants for their loss.

    All of them are just OBTUSE at best. MSM is keeping up the fight for the LEFT and that is just as Bad. The real problem is the filthy rich, the FED, investment and commercial banks stealing mass $$$$$ everyday.

    Did Germany keep its word when it joined with the USSR to invade Poland?
    Did Germany keep its word later when it violated its pact with the USSR?

    Slandering your political opposition is becoming popular these days. It's not part of a rational political discussion. Why do you resort to such tactics?

    We kept our word. When 911 happened, we stood by your side. Fight in Afghanistan. Lost soldiers there. So yes, we do stand by our word.

    1. The invasion with poland was agreed on in the Hitler Stalin pact. So yes, Germany kept its word. We did exactly what we said.

    2. Stalin was sending more and more troops towards the west. It was only a matter of time till this happenes.

    Yes, whenever it suits Germany it keeps its word. All nations are like that.

    Now tell me when the US gave its word to the Kurds that it would go to war with Turkey for them?
    Can you cite a treaty between the US and the Kurds like the one that US has with Germany and Turkey?

    1. The invasion of Poland violated Germany's agreements with the UK and started WW II.

    2. IOW, Germany, not the USSR violated the non-aggression pact because Germany's leaders felt that it was the expedient thing to do. Thanks for making my point.
