Maybe our troops are needed here at home now?
Nice poke at that little twit Cavuto.
Ya’ know, Trump told everyone to get out of Syria a while back and they all whined about needing a few weeks or a month to organize the exit. Now they’ve had a couple months and they have a whole new line of BS to try and rally support for continued presence in Syria, despite how stupid it makes the US look to stay there, pays very well.
Not only that, but who thinks Kurds who receive a bundle of cash complain if it’s a few tens of thousands less than they were told to expect? In all likelihood, it’ll be missing a few tens of thousands more before it gets to wherever the grunts are being paid or weapons purchased.
There’s no opportunity for corruption better than a nice little war and a lot of the pols crying are actually crying over the fact they know the skim will be smaller once we get out of Syria and therefore, their cut will be smaller.
Within weeks of our actually being out of Syria, you count on the same lovers of war who are complaining about this to be in a panic over some other part of the world where we need to send at least as many people as we pull out of Syria. Not someplace where we have a larger presence already, but somewhere that they’ll say only needs a safe area where we can help the most by delivering cash and weapons “and letting them do the fighting”.
I just texted some Trump-hating friends and relatives - you know, the supposed pacifist, leftist, hippy types
“Breaking news: Trump withdraws US troops from Syria, ending a disastrous war Obama and his CIA started”
I’m sick of those Libertarians who think the world is a playground that we can watch from afar with no consequences to ourselves. I’m aware of all the arguments against foreign intervention, the growth of government during war, etc., etc., but the Kurds have fought a hard, long fight against all manner of nutcases, have been decent allies, are willing to fight for themselves, have done a good job building their own society and deserve our help. I’m not talking anything more than advisors, equipment, money and political support either. The POTUS is making a mistake by trusting ANYTHING that islamofascist Erdogan wants.
Who are the “good guys” in Syria?
Basically this is a false flag uproar generated by the permanent government. As near as I can see the decision means the CIA and maybe Israel will now be deputed to run the Kurdish programs. No US military technically involved but the support pipeline continues to operate. Turkey would be making a big mistake to conduct a large ground force operation. Removing US military personnel from N Syria does not mean the USAF, drones, and cruise missiles can’t be employed.
America fought and won their own freedom. For any other country to truly appreciate freedom, they will have to win it for themselves. If it is simply given to them, they’ll never truly appreciate it.
I do have a couple of questions:
1) Did Trump invite Turkey to invade and occupy a part of Syria?
2) What planned invasion of Syria by Turkey? Is this credible?
