So when will their economy be destroyed?
Close Incirlik - Al Asad works just as well
“Close Incirlik “
Even if we made the decision tomorrow, it would be a year happening. Unless you want Americans and their families to leave everything and flee. Also, there will be millions of dollars worth of hardware that needs to be repaired and moved and probably warehouses full of spare parts.
Yes.
We should have started exiting Incirlik immediately after Turkey denied us sending the 4thID in from the north at the start of OIF. They put the deployment of the 173D AB in jeopardy.
Too broad a generalization
Tribal politics, money
As Tony Soprano said “ Its a face to face business’
What if you started a GoFundMe campaign for your personal deployment to support the Kurds? I would welcome that and could contribute.
“The Kurds - key US allies in defeating IS in Syria - guard thousands of IS fighters and their relatives in prisons and camps in areas under their control and it is unclear whether they will continue to be safely detained.”
How about the Kurds simply blowing up the ISIS prisons & blame it on the Turks? Oh, that would mean that a whole lot of CIA recruited fanatical Islamic mercenaries would get the retribution they deserve......(can’t have that)
Question: What does President DJT stand to gain from potentially pissing off a bunch of admittedly milque-toast republicans in the Senate with this action? Like it or not, he will need them should articles of impeachment reach the Senate. Confused about the broader strategy here.
You should watch the end of his presser from today, you’ll get your answer.
The rejection of Bush was his foreign entanglements with the Saudis.
For removing 50 troops?
Just saying pulling 50 troops doesn’t add up to 8 trillion dollars Trump mentioned in his tweet. So the statement that he wants US troops out of the middle east has no credibility.
Sadly he just put a nail in his coffin. Impeachment it is.
Think you forgot the /s tag.
OH, his intention with regard to removing troops?
So the troops won't be there.
I remember too!

I remember.Granddaughter was there.
DJT has a plan and the plan basically has to do with the ME countries policing each other. He has talked with the friendly nations and they are aboard. From what I read the other day, those nations are in agreement with DJT. The Turks will only take enough of Syria to house the two million Syrian refugees now in Turkey. Turkey knows that if they get too rambunctious, DJT will tighten the economic screws, something the Turks fear.
