Style aside, the letter content should be viewed positively by the Russians. It recognizes Syrian and Russian interests, encourages rapproachment with the Kurds, and discouraged a Turkish expansion into Syria.

Russia has been trying to create a wedge between Turkey and NATO. What is stupefying is that all the leftists demand our soldiers remain in northern Syria as human shields - tempting military action against them and possible death - and that we should threaten Turkey with air strikes if anything does happen. Then in the next breath, these same leftists say that Trump is trying to destroy NATO. You cannot have it both ways.

This was far too complicated for the TDS-DNC media. So they broad stroked it and said “our troops are ashamed” - which is a joke.

No more endless wars. It’s madness.

reminds me of Michael Milken’s “highly confident letter” that he always sent right before he swooped in with junk bonds ...

also reminds me of those “deal you can’t refuse” letters from the knee breakers ...

they worked, and worked quickly ...

Every time he succeeds the left keeps saying he got lucky... How long does it take for even his biggest detractors to realize he (with the help of his inner circle) actually knows what he is doing AND it is for our countries best interest. Half the time it is exactly what they normally want, until HE is the one doing it!

The percentage of Americans that realize things are actually different under this administration and the swamp really is being drained is still pretty small. Many Trump supporters don’t even see it yet, but it does seem like people are finally starting to wake up and realize Trump has simply been exposing the broken system as only he could and highlighting the gridlock and our system taking years to do anything is all part of that.

Trump is highly unusual for a head of State.

AND WE LOVE IT

PROBABLY didn’t translate properly into RUSSIAN ... but it seemed to have the proper effect when translated into GREEK ...

That’s all that counts, Ruskies ...

Yep - when you got a choice between “diplomatic tact” (nuancing everything so nothing is specifically clear) and plain language, you can trust what you hear with the plain language....
