I see a lot of Republicans still complaining about President Trump pulling some of our troops out of harm's way in Turkey/Syria. Are we really supposed to go to war against Turkey? Will they vote for that?
That is being pushed by CNN. As a mouth piece for the Deep State they actually want us to go to war with Turkey.
Apparently, this still is our circus.

U.S. Plan to Guard Syrian Oil Fields Sows Confusion
Officials and experts say the proposal may be a way to sell Trump on keeping a residual force in Syria.

If we just leave, NATO is insolvent without enough trained troops to do much.
Yet it is in our interests not to Guard the Syrian oil fields.
If the cowards in Congress think so, let them declare war and justify it. I heard the same bs in the Vietnam Era as a sailor and could never figure out why we were there. To protect French rubber trees? To stop communism? It didn’t work, and we lost 58000 of our finest and another 200000 maimed. And for what?
Gee whiz, how did you wind up in that marriage ?
Congress can declare war on Turkey if it’s really all that fired up on the idea. Good luck with passing that.
Turkey should be given nukes.
We’ll let Slim Pickens deliver them.
It was so sad...all those beautiful, hopeful young men. The stupidest war we ever fought, and for no good reason.
Vote to Declare War as a function of their legislative powers and duties? And put their political careers at risk? That hasn’t happened since December 1941.
No more wars without total destruction of the enemy as the goal for victory.
If we are not going to fight to win, it's simple, don't fight at all.

Ah Shoot, 36 years ago? We'll find someone else.
Wait for Turkey's goose to be cooked.
It’s crazy. Democrats who are always “anti-war” say the same things. These peaceniks who want the US out of everywhere are all of a sudden against troop withdrawal.
Too greasy. Just wondering if you’d have a Turkish turkey in Turkey on Thanksgiving? Do we still have troops there?
I can’t imagine why we haven’t already done so.
I've had a quite colorful (pun semi-intended) past.
Maybe you should’ve beaten the crap out of her. They seem to expect that treatment from their “men.”
Who are we guarding the Syrian oil fields from, the Syrians, Russians, Iraqis, Iran?
