HUFFPO people, HUFFPO.
You mean it’s time for globalists to panic.
A little boy from the Huffy Post is worried about “conservatives”. What is the world coming to?
HuffPo is a joke
Not a funny one, but a joke nonetheless.
Bull effing sheet. It is time to celebrate. That damn military wants to control the goddam world and it is too goddam expensive.
While I am a bit sad that Gen. Mattis is leaving, there are more out there and honestly, he made a better General than SecDef.
Yes, you can watch David Frum (one of the prime architects of the crazy Second Iraq War when he worked for GW Bush) “panicking’ on CBC coverage of Election Night 2016, where he was presented as the resident “conservative” commentator. He is only exceeded in his venom toward Trump by some female commentator, who is an avowed far leftist. The only thing “conservative” about Frum is his desire for constant war (the fighting not including him, of course) and for most conservatives, including myself, we don’t want any part of it or of him. Bravo to Trump on Afghanistan and Syria.
Mattis is a creature of Washington. Good riddance to him.
Anytime the turtle gets distressed means that conservatism is winning.
It makes me laugh. They screamed when we sent troops in and now they are screaming because the troops are coming home. It is plain and simple. They are against everything Trump does. Nothing new!!
General Anthony Tata, author, “Dark Winter.” I think the President is making the exact right move in Syria. All the geniuses who are protesting the withdrawal of troops from Syria are the same geniuses who cooked the books on ISIS intelligence and gave rise to ISIS.”
I’m not panicking.
Why are the leftists suddenly all for unilateral wars?
Because a Democrat globalist neocon quit because he wasn’t allowed to set our foreign policy? Lmao
You mean NeoCons, not conservatives. They didn’t vote for Trump.
Mattis is a homo/trans freak coddler who wants illegal endless wars. Time for him to go.
Mattis wants to continue with worldwide conflicts, and Trump doesn’t. Trump wants out of 17 year wars that the military says cannot be won. Mattis is clearly a globalist, and a liberal at heart. He is a great general, and I have great respect for him, but he clearly doesn’t understand the political aspect of war. 17 years is crazy.
No panic from me. The United States MUST rethink it’s policy of war, and it’s detrimental effect on it’s citizens without any plans for victory. Maximum violence until everyone exterminated or subdued. Forget hearts and minds.
Somewhat louder-than-normal freakout over Trump and Mattis departure. A few thoughts. First, the willingness of leaders like Mattis and Kelly to serve in this administration has been a great service to the country. Thank them. 1/5
Second, it is not exactly unprecedented for a SecDef to leave, over policy differences or otherwise. Mattis served longer than any of Barack Obama's last *three* SecDefs, Panetta, Hagel, Carter. 2/5
Third, what's happening is the president is asserting himself and his view of the world, which is the view he campaigned and won election on. He is asking questions for which the national security establishment does not have clear, indisputable answers. 3/5
For example, beyond the Trump pledge to 'knock the hell out of ISIS,' what is the US goal in Syria? How do our 2k troops there bring that about? And in Afghanistan, what will continued involvement accomplish that we have not been able to accomplish in the last *17* years? 4/5
So beyond the freakout, Trump is asking questions that, most likely, many Americans ask about these military commitments. Will be interesting to see what public thinks on the Syria, Afghanistan issues. 5/5 End.
The Swamp is unhappy? Oh, cry me a river.
This is so beyond absurd.
Total BS as the Left & NeverTrumpers try to turn anything & everything that happens, whether ‘normal’ or not, into a negative against Trump. The good news is that Trump’s attitude is ‘damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead’ regardless of the attempts to overwhelm him with negativity.
