Actually, it was 1919, but why quibble?
Trump got TWO scoops!
The outrage is manufactured as was ABC’s bullshit yellow journalist exercise of using footage they KNEW came from Kentucky to try to construct a “Trump’s fault” war narrative.
Every day the prostitute press whores make up some new outrage.
They always hate when their coup fails. If Trump had allies like Assad does, he could crush them just as badly.
The “Deep State” is funded heavily by Sunni Muslim royal families and tribal leaders ... to the point where the U.S. government has been functioning as a wholly owned subsidiary of foreign interests for years.
Good article, also 5th post is the best post.
“During this time, the hegemonic power behind Syria’s war has primarily been about land, water, and resources, while Syria possesses tremendous untapped oil and mineral wealth.”
To which hegemonic power does the author refer?
Same reason they blamed George Bush about not having up armored humvee which they did not care about but could use as a club against him and any republican. They never said anything about the million people dead as a result of obama decisions.
The most amazing part of this is watching the left — who couldn’t label Bush a war criminal fast enough — suddenly become war hawks.
The Democrats are back to their roots as the party of war...
Maybe not so simple, but the deep state receiving funds from the wahabists, and actually in the tank for a world wide caliphate (another people-control group...two snakes...professional courtesy). Never mind that the caliphate will grind the socioleftist control package to dust at the first opportunity (shareeah baby! nothing else counts).
...from orbit...it’s the only way to be sure...
KYPD
NAAH. Because...Trump.
P.I.P.E.L.I.N.E.
I remember the Iraq Kurds were a big ally in the post 9/11 war in Iraq. Thing is, Kurds are like native “Americans”. They span the lower 48, canada, Alaska, Mexico and central and south america. So what happens if you have a deal with one “tribe”, but abandon one in a different “modern country”?
Do we really have confidence in this report? I suspect there’s plenty of better reasons than what he wrote.
You know what, It’d be great if there was a sober discussion about what to do in Syria. I could respect all sorts of perspectives and opinions.
I expect, hope and believe that this is exactly what happened internally among Trump’s advisory and decision team.
The same thing isn’t happening in our press at all. There is no sobriety. There is no focus on the national interest.
The national review has been a piece of garbage for a long time, but damn their articles are a fresh reminder of this like a hard slap across the face.
It’s like the whole world is out to lunch and Trump is the only sober one. No, you don’t have to believe everything Trump does like some personality cult. But present your ideas in terms of the national interest. What is behind your assumptions — that we must do this and that for the kurds, that we must do it in exactly this way. It’s not explained. They just want to jump up and down and say how stupid such and such is, orange man bad... It’s useless.
That’s easy!
Orange man bad. They hope this one will stick somehow (unlike all the previous attempts).
It all goes back to that natural gas pipeline from Qatar through Syria to Europe. Every political player has a big payoff waiting from the Qatar government if they can help get it done - but Trump has continuously been messing the whole plan up.
The players going after Trump are in a panic mode.
They are all connected to the 2011 Arab Spring Civil Wars.
These were unconventional wars. The CIA was tasked with training young people to kill. Kind of like ANTIFA. Hillary gave seminars to recruit rebels. Google executives, Facebook and Twitter were used to recruit rebels. Wikileaks has a document of Google executives and Hillary using the local news media Al Jazeera to promote hostilities where pro-war-sliced-and-diced Jamal Khashoggi was a frequent commentator.
We dropped 12,192 bombs on Syria in 2016 during Obama’s administration.
Our footprint in these wars were only about 2,000 CIA operatives. Not enough for Americans to march in the streets or make major headlines.
These players bounced back and forth between government jobs and The Clinton Foundation. Some of them worked for HSBC Bank that pled guilty of money laundering for cartels, rich Saudis and the Clinton Foundation.
The young people they recruited were the Muslim Brotherhood.
They installed Hillary’s friend Muslim Brotherhood leader Morsi as president of Egypt. A guy that taught at California State University Northridge.
Libya became a terrorist training ground that sells African slaves.
The Players became rich for killing 560,000 people in Syria and making 5 million Syrians refugees.
The people that support the Players are our enemies.

But why Syria where there was a handful of troops for a very short time? Why not start with Afghanistan if this is really about troop pull back from the ME.
Because “Syria” is really just a proxy for the entire Middle East fiasco, the blame for which lies entirely at their doorstep.
