Syrian Kurds are close to declaring Independence

[VolnJC]

Funny how now you all want to rely on experts, I remember a time about 12 years ago where you all were bashing experts and were anti occupation. Guess you all will make any sacrifice to just be able to say Trump bad

Exactly every poll before Trump pulled our troops Dems were in favor of pulling all personal out of Syria...then those poor Kurds

Having troops somewhere is not "occupation". When we leaving South Korea?

 

[golfballs]

Most experts’ only expertise is selling themselves as experts

Anything Trump does is bad, if he were all of a sudden for open borders, sanctuary cities, food stamps for all, free healthcare for all, free college for all then the dems/socialists would all of a sudden be against those things

 

[hog88]

Yeah, those pesky experts.. you can't even let them start talking, 'cause they'll trick you with their expertise.

Or keep you in wars they are making money on.

Ignoring diplomats, and not using them, in an advisory role, does a disservice, not only to diplomacy, but to both the Kurds, and our troops in this case.

And if we are talking about the Joint Chiefs, don't pretend like the only advice they can offer is to stay in Syria. You know, orderly withdraw and what not...

But if you want to pretend that Trump is a genius by making snap decisions on a phone call with Erdogan, don't let my opinions distract you.

I'm in no way trying to say Trump is a genius, I abhor the way the Kurds have been treated since the 90s. We should have supported their efforts at establishing their own independent state after the first Gulf War but you know who was against that? The experts and diplomats. So stop with the "expert" worship, they just like our JCS are lining their pockets off the blood of our soldiers.

Well, you know, Trump picks his own experts and diplomats.. maybe if he'd used them, he wouldn't have had to scramble Pence and Pompeo to try and fix the impending disaster that the Kurds were facing, after his snap decision to withdraw.

Were? So it all worked out?

 

[Stew Cook]

Were? So it all worked out?

You know, "get out now!" vs "you've got a few days."

And no, they're still screwed.

Does it look like it's worked out?

 

[carlos86]

I don't put much faith in the "experts" these so called experts have had us in continual war for almost 20 years now. It might be time for the amateurs.

Yeah, we shouldn't be guarding oil wells.

he should have consulted with the JCS, NSC and CENTCOM.

Lol at the “occupation” line. Now that is far left, Islamist propaganda.

 

[carlos86]

In other words “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.”

 

[hog88]

You know, "get out now!" vs "you've got a few days."

And no, they're still screwed.

They have been screwed for decades, this is nothing new. We should have supported them when they tried to form their own country.

Too damn early to tell.

 

[golfballs]

Trump wins again. Libs and neocons BTFO

 

[Mick]

Too damn early to tell.

He just claimed victory and lifted sanctions from Turkey.

[Mick]

Trump wins again. Libs and neocons BTFO

[lawgator1]

What did he win?

He said he won. His cult base believes it.

No matter what the facts are.

Trump's only victory is over the poorly educated.

 

[VolnJC]

My goodness it almost seems like some were pulling for civil war to break out and are disappointed that it might have a peaceful transition in Syria

 

[1972 Grad]

Still needs to conquer the inner city constituency.
