    Way off topic. You're now simply slinging insults, the typical response when you are losing an argument

    I guess you can give Trump credit then for sending his guys over to make the ceasefire happen..

    But you won't.

    Germany and Japan and WWII were not being discussed. The subject is Syria.

    First we back stab the Kurds, then we jam the knife in farther by telling them that they have 5 days to get their families get their belongings and leave their homes, or else they'll feel the wrath of the Turkish military's onslaught. The Turks are the ones who crossed the red line, yet they're the ones rewarded in this agreement

    Your comments reveal a lack of insight.

    We did not backstab the Kurds.

    Some are allies, some are commie terrorists who kill civilians.

    The kurds span many nations, and only a few are being targeted by Turkey-the ones lobbing artillery shells across the syrian border into turkish towns.

    The Turks (our nato ally) have decided to defend their own nation by denying the few kurds that are commie terrorists a region to attack Turkey.

    If you want to discuss Kurd allies, look at the Peshmerga, not the commie terrorists you are making excuses for here.

    All the ceasefires in Syria have been like this, you still get artillery, mortars and some tit for tat fighting. They are mostly used by the offensive force to regroup, and resupply. A five day ceasefire is not very long and is practically almost over. Kurds had to give up a lot, the Syrian government got all the Kurds land back that matters in NE Syria.

    As I said, time will tell. The language from Turkey allows them to change at will.

    I see no evidence of America having valuable allies in the ME except Israel.

    You have this strange thing where when someone gives you information you dont like you scream and stomp your feet in denial.

    Since you dont think Congress is full of warmongers name the years after ww2 that we were not fighting in some **** hole country...

    Go for it.

    What a false argument. On the one hand here you say that Congress is full of warmongers and on the other you berate them for not taking steps against countries. As an example, North Korea. You were on the side of saying how we could send them back to the stone age. Same with Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan or any ME country and also blame Obama for "red lines".
    FFS, take a side.

    When did i ever say such a thing.. I think you are confused again.

    Its what happens when you lash out instead of replying to what people say.

    I have taken a side and been consistent for decades.. What you and other posters do is assume, confuse me with someone else , or lie outright.

    The 5 days wasn't meant for the Kurds to leave, but allow for Syrian troops to move in.

    Syrian troops enter northern towns and villages, setting up a potential clash with Turkish-led forces

    Which BTW, Turkey and Syria have no elegance to each other, however Syria and Russia do and Turkey and Russia do. I think the Kurd's saved their own bacon... However at the expense of being part of Assad's militia now.

    I would think by now you lefties would learn to wait a bit before commenting but apparently its not going to happen.

    It sounds like there were some sporadic hostilities which is how ceasefires along a large front typically go.

    I'd rather have them be controlled (relatively) by Assad then launching mortars across the border into Turkey.

    LoL, the cease fire is already broken. If that is what Trump supporters call great, then they just lowered the bar ever moreso. Maybe you guys should give Trump a participation trophy :)

    The networks told you Hillary in a landslide-and you bought it.

    Trump is able to bypass the MSM.

    The networks are the propaganda wing of the MSM.

    Of course fake news is on "all the networks".
