    We have busy news days because ofvthe nothing that the media chooses to cover to make Trump look bad.

    We elected Trump to undo the damage Obama did.

    The idea that any politicians are somehow experts and know what to do to fix our problems is absurd, they are as clueless as anyone else.

    I was talking about here in America.
    Gang violence ain't in my community. Why send our cops to go get shot in some slum area.

    Because it's in America, and it's America's responsibility to police ourselves and ours.

    Yes. The professional police model for urban law enforcement has clearly failed, and the fix would be easy and cheap.

    1. Restore Constitutional Carry to our Hell Hole cities.
    2. Encourage elected Sheriffs to mobilize thousands of well armed retired volunteer deputies to monitor the streets from street corners and roof tops.
    3. Start gunning down the shooters. Might take a week for peace to be restored.

    The Kurds should know by now that they have to protect themselves.
    They have been taught that lesson repeatedly throughout their history.

    I'd love to see them destroy the Turks and take more territory.

    Well, it would have been better to create a new Israel out of East Prussia, as Morganthau advised.
    Too late now.

    Or we could have given them Madagascar (the original plan before the EUROPEAN Jews demanded their 'homeland'). No history of anti-semitism (mostly due to lack of contact from the locals) and well situated to become a maritime power. But instead they got a desert full of people that hate them.

    And of course, it's another Trump cluster-****. Now it comes out that in 2015, Trump admitted he had a conflict of interest when it comes to Turkey - his Trump Towers in Istanbul. Trump appears to have made a deal with Turkey - get out of their way on the Kurd issue and Trump Towers is safe. It's never ending. It's all about the Trump brand - not the American brand.

    Madagascar wouldn't have worked out. The people that live there are Christian and indigenous religion and Muslim.

    If you wish to understand how it goes for ethnic allies in combat look up Operation Keelhaul.

    But you would think what we have done for the Yards could be done for the Kurds -- just shut down all illegal immigration by force and replace them with Kurds.

    Moronic statement on your part. Liberals have wanted the rules of engagement changed for police - nobody has asked that cops be removed from urban areas.

    Most politicians have a much better education than Trump. He is an incurious man.

    this is the problem right here...

    " now it comes out that is 2015 Trump admitted......"

    your implication here is that somehow Trump was hiding it......

    i agree it's a cluster but your insinuation that that Trump was hiding anything is unhelpful.

    Sure it was stable when the Turks controlled the whole region. Maybe we should go back to that arrangement.

    I like that last part of your suggestion, though. Just leave the region.
