Trump Followed His Gut on Syria. Calamity Came Fast.

USA goes to war = bad.

USA stays out of war = bad

USA = bad

MSM mantra

[TADSLOS]

Imagine the amount of effort it takes to display that level of faux outrage day after day...

[Brilliant]

His mistake was the way he presented it. He should have waited until Turkey attacked and then announce that he was withdrawing the troops to avoid getting stuck in the middle between the Turks and Kurds.

[dljordan]

Would Congress like to declare war?

[jospehm20]

Calamity? Turks and Syrians killing each other has zero effect on me.

[AAABEST]

Full court fake press - while the American people are on the exact opposite side... not giving a single flying crap what happens in Syria.

Scum, northeastern presstitutes - all of them - work for our MASSAS. It's not even left vs. right... it's slaves v owners.

Tired of getting our blood and tax money sucked out of us in the Mideast. Let the apes tribes find Jesus like us, or just let the miserable pieces of s**t just continue to kill each other like they always have....less is better.

[Widget Jr]

The Syrian Civil War is OVER. So let's go onto the next needless war for barely definable American interests Americans are not interested.

[mass55th]

Calamity Jane.

[butlerweave]

Will Turkey didn’t start a war Trump did ? LOL

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Not a word about Obama’s causing the Syrian war single-handedly by supporting the Muslim Spring and the overthrow of Putin’s close ally, Assad. Not a word.

Syria is 100% Obama’s mess. It is nice to have 450 TV stations and another 700 newspapers run interference for you.

To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago.

It's almost like Bacha 0bama had eight years to do that...

David E. Sanger sits behind a computer screen drinking Latte and lying for a living.

GO STAND A FKG POST ON THE NORTHERN BORDER DAVE.

It’s okay when it’s somebody else’s kid, right!?

Well said, young man.

[John S Mosby]

YEAH? Not so much NY slimes-— what they were squealing about were their war profiteering from perpetual unsolved un won conflicts. Needing replacement arms, missiles, ammo, tank rounds, mortar rounds etc. And, cruise missiles too!

Beltway bandits.
Period— trough eating non-solution providing “service” contractors.... fat A@@ contractors.

[Alberta's Child]

... the abandonment of a successful five-year-long American project to keep the peace on a volatile border ...

You can always tell the bullsh!t propaganda by noting what the author of this slop DOES NOT say.

The "border" he describes here wasn't nearly so volatile before the Americans illegally occupied a sovereign country (Syria) that was perfectly capable of protecting its own borders.

[SaveFerris]

[USA goes to war = bad.
USA stays out of war = bad]

Pretty much the only options. Unless it was Barack Hussein Obama. Then it would have been the smartest decision made by the smartest community organizer ever.

[Flick Lives]

And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials.

"Two American officials". Sound legit.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Let’s see who is in the “calamity” when the sanctions hit Turkey.

[Williams]

Trump did the right thing.

[crusher2013]

To what purpose?

To pull us into another pointless ME war that has no benefits to Americans.

All while the border remains unsecured.
