    It's strange how to the Left America is "hated" and yet when people can vote with their
    feet, America is one of their chosen destinations. Not many refugees want to go to China,
    (particularly Muslim ones) and even Edward Snowden is fed up with Russia and wants to
    go home.

    Yes, hard to make an issue with the brutality of Russian behavior - they have nukes.
    Although there has been some coverage of the Orwellian treatment of Chinese
    nationals, and the Chinese govt's behavior towards Mongols, Tibetan, Bhutanese,
    Indians, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Phillipinos, Malays and Indonesians
    (is Australia next?)
    Methinks America has been fairly quiet towards Syria, all things considered. Syria
    is a secular haven in an Islamic Middle East.

    What brutality of Russian behavior? I was talking about Poroshenko and the brutality of the American installed junta in Kiev, against their own civilian population in the ethnic Russian Donbas area of Ukraine.

    How do you know any of it is true? Our sources unfortunately, are packed with lies.

    The US has been fairly quiet now that it grabbed Syria's oil and gas. That way the Syrian people can suffer for not bowing to them. From what I noticed, we're getting closer to WWIII all around.

    I have some Russian friends. I tell them I fear that Putin might invade Australia to protect them.
    It's a trick Hitler used.
    Yes, the nations mentioned above all have growing issues with China, and I believe every bit of
    it. If I read in various media that India and China are slogging it out in the Himalayas I accept that
    at face value. I don't resort to conspiracies to bolster the Chinese Communist Party.
    And no, I don't accept that America is in Syria to steal their oil. If our "souces" are "packed with lies"
    then you have fallen victim to it.

    The US is stealing $20 million worth of oil from the Syrian people every month to cover the expenses of the US troops.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    US troops are staying in Syria to ‘keep the oil’ – and have already killed hundreds over it

    US escalates military intervention in Syria

    The US has significantly escalated its military presence in northeastern Syria in response to growing friction with Russian forces deployed in the same area and in apparent preparation for carving out a US-backed “autonomous” zone controlling Syria’s major oil fields.

    US convoy transports stolen Syrian oil to Iraq:

    A US convoy, consisting of 30 tanker trucks laden with stolen Syrian oil, has left the war-stricken country and sneaked into neighboring Iraq, official SANA news agency says.

    Fight and strife is my name
    and chaos is my game.

    I gear them all to kill and maim
    and then covertly flip the blame
    to you.

    So even though I am insane,
    and only think of my own gain,
    I have no shame, it's in your name

    and there's nothing you can do. - Jeannette

    So.... America is "stealing" $20m of oil each month, from a reputable source, you say.
    But that could lead to conflict with Russia. Of course, Russia is also in collusion with
    America, according to reputable sources. Seem a risky strategy for $2m in oil, doesn't
    it?
    So why not just invade Venezuela and take their oil? They have a trillion dollars of the
    stuff.
    And why steal someone else's oil when you have a glut of your own?
    And the Jews, striking at Syria nearly every day, must be in on it too?
    Maybe, just maybe there are other issues here?

    I'm not talking about Iraqis. The GITMO nationalities list aligns with anecdotal evidence from troops on the ground: a large proportion of those we are fighting are outside agitators, not disgruntled Iraqis. Kind of similar to what's going on with these US "race" riots.

    There has been some fighting between Russian and US troops as they help the Syrians to free their country.

    It's not 2 million, it's 20 million a month, so stop spinning. The money is being given to the Kurds, so Congress won't be involved in funding them.


    Which makes it obvious that the intent is not just the oil, but to keep the Syrian people from rebuilding their country. I don't see how any good can come from evil means.

    Stop mentioning Jews, because you're only putting suspicions in people's minds. Of course there are other issues here. One is to create an Israeli friendly Kurd nation that will form a barrier between Iran and Syria. The only problem is that there are Arabs living there and they don't want the Kurds as their overlords. The Kurds were never indigenous in that area, so of course there is going to be problems.

    Anyway, I said it before, and I'll say it again; Iran should get the damn hell out of Syria and Lebanon so the people living there can have some peace. If the US was to leave, maybe then Assad could tell the Iranians to leave. Regardless, the problem of course is Islam since it's a political as well as a religious entity. But to be fair here, so are the adherents of the Talmud. The Torah though is different.

    I think that a big part of the reason for USA troops to be there with the Kurds is to stop ethnic cleansing of the Kurds by Turkey.

    Make no mistake: The ONLY reason the U.S. has military or CIA presence ANYWHERE in the world is for selfish reasons. If I am allowed to correct your statement I would change it to, 'The biggest excuse the USA is claiming to station troops there is to stop ethnic cleansing of the Kurds by Turkey'. Do you recall what happened to the Kurds after the U.S. instigated the Kurdish uprising against Saddam post-Kuwait invasion? It wasn't pretty and no help from the U.S.

    There are 20 million Kurds in Turkey and they constitute a threat to their country, the way the Christians were a threat to Turkey before being killed and ethnically cleansed. Turkey is the Kurd homeland and whenever the Kurds rose up against them, all the Turks had to do was cordon off the towns so the reporters wouldn't know what's going on. They were probably being gassed.

    Washington wants to create a separate nation for the Israeli friendly Kurds in Syria so as to form a wedge between Syria and Iraq. It also wants to keep Syria from having the money to rebuild their country, so it stole the oil and gas rich area of Syria for the Kurd homeland. The US also allows ISS to be there as an excuse so they can say they're protecting the oil wells from ISIS.

    Anyway the local Arabs don't want the Kurds stealing their land, so there is fighting going on. When they hired the Russian Wagner group to help them get rid of ISIS, they were bombed by the Americans.

    how did this work out?

    http://watchingthewatchers.org/news/624/iraq-war-cost-little-and-iraq-oil

    "If you can remember that far back, before the invasion of Iraq, Dick Cheney and friends were arrogantly sure that (a) the cost of the war would be minimal, and (b) Iraq's oil revenue would fund reconstruction efforts; it would virtually be a no-cost war, one that paid for itself."

    At that point the war was only going to last a couple months as well. I remember after the initial invasion when we were settling in up in Mosul, they told us we would be pulling out of the country in May, 3 months after the invasion. In that case, I think the oil probably would have covered reconstruction. Nobody expected an insurgency at that time.

    The biggest reason US troops are in Syria is that the US government is controlled by Israeli interests. We are there to bolster the notion of Greater Israel.

    But........... President Donald J. Trump may not be somebody who is satisfied with the idea of going down in history in a manner similar at all to any previous USA President, including JFK and Lincoln!

    People who lack a healthy sense of pride cannot comprehend the mind set of somebody who wishes to go down in history having at the minimum at least tried to save this nation.............. and once this nation is saved then the whole planet........ . and doing nothing for the Kurds after all that they did at least attempt to do for America over these past three or four decades is something that would really bother President Trump...... if...... I am correct that he is nearly as egotistical as I am.

    How many Christians do you know who would open up with this type of a gambit?



    When I go to my grave it will NOT be as a mere Christian civilian.........

    Auditions for the role of Elijah needed....


    I'm not even obsessed with getting to heaven as ninety nine percent of Christians and Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles seem to be...........

    My Rosh ha Shanah apology to you all


    You basically humble people have no idea what you are dealing with when you attempt to analyze somebody like President Trump......... or me Dennis Tate for that matter!

    Most Satanists think that Satan must be selfish and predatory because they themselves are selfish and predatory....... I've been asking mySelf very different questions especially since 1990..............


    I want to start an online outreach to Satanists....
