we better start protecting our own shores...
Totally agree. We fight the _enemy_ elsewhere, but then move them into our neighborhoods. Sickness.
I support our military, but...
Obama was pressured by public outrage over ISIS about to over run and kill a lot of primarily women (heard 7-13,000 depending on definition, some young) in a place called Kobani. He finally relented and gave air cover, knocked out ISIS armor and shot up their heavy weapons.
They dropped in an air drop of supplies and ammo (around 11-12 Oct 2014)and the Kurdish women and a few men in the beginning killed a lot of ISIS animals. Some Kurd fighters from outside the area came and ISIS was defeated there. That was the first time local forces had ended an ISIS siege. If you missed that event, I am sorry.
I assure you I did not.
It is legendary not. And it changed Syrian Kurds totally.
Obama before leaving office had “advised” Trump to partner with the Kurds to end ISIS. Trump’s advisors looked at the plan and nixed it, but after evaluation decided he was right the Kurds were the best solution.
I don’t want our soldiers overseas at all. Only when absolutely necessary.
But Obama and Hillary created the anti Assad forces that were trying to make a regime change in Syria. ISIS was an outgrowth of that) It has been going on for 6 years.
Trump said he would end ISIS and he will. There is meeting of 68 nations in the US Secretary of State offices, I think tomorrow. That will be the 1st time they have all been convened. It’s time to get er done.
