    Or do you mean she's a zionist, maybe?

    The US has a long-established reputation for initial blunders in such actions as we see in Syria., which is not to say Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

    By the way, I don't see Israel manning up in these types of encounters ever. Not ever. What's up with that?

    Jews in Congress all have dual Israeli citizenship. Why do they never get Israel to step up?

    Anyone who thinks trump knows what he's doing is either dumber than trump or is simply not paying attention.

    How many countries in EU are helping keep middle and South America stabilized? None you say? Those countries are on the other side of the world you say and don’t really effect them? Correct. Then Why is the US leading the charge when the combined military of EU should be leading when it’s On THEIR DOORSTEP? Because they spend all their money on social programs and are incapable of defending themselves much less keeping the peace in other countries that could spill over into theirs.

    We should be supporting THEM not the other way around. So when Trump said that other countries really aren’t doing their fair share and not pulling their weight, he’s spot on. They haven’t done enough ever, besides maybe the UK.

    We’re stuck. We stay and our people die and they hate us and the world criticizes us. We leave and it’s our fault the place distabilzes and people die. Not our people, but we’re still responsible. And EU just mostly sits there twiddling their thumbs. ****ing sad.

    I’ll quote Zombieland:). Time to Nut Up or shut up. You can’t just sit back and point fingers.

    All news that disagrees with the current stance that trump has taken is fake news.

    Oh, right. Were they in harms way before Trump pulled his crap? And as far as the sanctions.......isn't Turkey our NATO ally? What sense does this make.

    Yes, Turkey told us what they were going to do and Trump pulled the 50 or so troops out of harms way. I take it you want to go to war with Turkey.

    You can't just make stuff up to support your argument. Who do you think you are, President of the US? They are supporting us because we inserted ourselves in the area. They didn't want to attack Iraq, we talked them into it with lies. They didn't destabilize the area, we did. You logic is....we F**KED it up, you fix it. No wonder you think Trump is correct, you both don't know what's going on.

    we only had about 1000 troops there, now Trump has to send thousands back to undo the damage he caused

    the wars I am more concerned about it the republican two 10+ year wars that have cost us over 7 Trillions dollars thus far

    Afghanistan should have been a quick retaliation strike and the Iraq war never should have been

    Trump is now back tracking and sending thousands of troops back in, many more than were there to begin with - Trump screwed up, put American soldiers at risk by his rash decision to withdraw with no plan

    Why don't you stop baiting and answer the questions put before you. No here is advocating the death of US soldiers.

    Turkey is a NATO ally, what's your point here? Nobody in Syria is a NATO ally. This isn't some non-binding garbage like that Paris crap Obama did, this is an actual treaty, ratified and everything. Either you folks are inept or extremely ignorant...

    An inept and extremely ignorant argument is one that tries to suggest that Trump was obeying the NATO treaty when he withdrew American troops from that region.

    America had no dog in that fight once ISIS was neutered, pulling our troops out was simply pro-American doctrine. If Obama hadn't f'ed up the whole thing Trump wouldn't have had to fix it. When did you folks become such warmongers?

    Despite all of the instability in the ME and Libya happened on her and Obama's watch.

    Hilarious.

    Good. Let Russia have the money pit.

    They're not going to have any more ability to change the ME than we do.

    Maybe we could hire Obama on a contract to come back in and paint some more red lines.

    "Pro-American Doctrine" should not include forcing every American ally to realize that we will betray you on a whim because our current leader is feckless and spineless.

    What ally are you whining about? Our allies are determined by treaty, we have not broken faith with any ally we have a treaty with. This all falls back to Trump having to fix Obama's messes, so sad...

    No, she has a lady, a desperately needed lady, profoundly lovely lady, Lady Liberty--you know, the one Trump just raped and threw to the landfill? Who's next? The Hong Kong young idealists--they will soon have crushed bodies and shattered bones, says Xi Jinping and the CPC.

    Not our fights, not sure how you don't understand that. We are talking about sovereign nations and their own internal matters, in the case of China. We don't want China getting involved in the next Occupy Movement. As to Syria, not our problem, never was, until Obama allowed ISIS to prosper there. ISIS was neutered, no more need for American involvement. Trump was right...

    Really? We've caused all the Muslims to kill each other all this time? That’s a nice view of history you got there. Want to pass the weed:)
