Trump instructs military to begin planning for withdrawal from Syria

[Mick]

So In Trumptopia, you want to bring all american service members home, build a wall, impose tariffs on most imports, tell all of our allies to F off, and wait for ISIS?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

We need to bill for services rendered. If we did that Japan and Germany would owe us trillions of dollars.

Winner winner....you sir, win a chicken dinner.

 

[Velo Vol]

Great.

Now do John Bolton.

 

[Velo Vol]

This is a good start. Need to exit that entire region.

If only there were a time machine we could post these in 2003 and watch the meltdown.

 

[Burhead]

I feel bad for the Kurds. Tough as nails people and honorable fighters. They have deserved their own country for decades now and have supported us at every turn and every time we turn our backs on them.

If we had a time machine, the better option would be to go back to 2001 and not get involved in either Afghanistan or Iraq.

We have about $6 billion worth of inventory over there, they will likely leave it there. Thoughts on that?

Best if they do some demolition so the bad guys don’t get those toys.

Did anyone ever think a habitual draft dodger could lead our armed forces?

Clinton?

I couldn’t agree more

Did you order your save space kit yet... Trump is selling em, has a lib model as well, price for you is higher if you want the wall.

And not learn the lesson of 9/11?

Did you mean "Safe"?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

And not learn the lesson of 9/11?

What lesson would that be?

 

[NEVolFan]

yeah... whiffed on that one.

We definitely owe them a solution that would secure their existence.

Seems like between them and Turkey, they drew the short straw.

I think the word for that is “realpolitik”.

That word wouldn't fit if it was between them and turkey now would it?

You may have a point. Irregardless, it sucks to be them.

 

[Velo Vol]

What lesson would that be?

Fighting them over there so they don't come here.

Worked swimmingly for Israel.

Fighting them over there so they don't come here.

Then we'll be fighting them over there literally forever...or until we go broke. We will never be able to eradicate that ideology.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Man, he is taking some heat for this decision. I said yesterday I just hoped this was coming from the military leadership with some good judgment. As usual, however, this was just another impulse decision by the idiot President.

Why is bringing troops home ever a bad decision? I thought you were a peace loving liberal?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

We've already been over there close to 20 years. Are they willing to be over there another 20?
