Although the administration prefers “peace to war,” U.S. President Donald Trump is “fully prepared” to authorize military action against Turkey, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday.

In an interview with CNBC’s Wilfred Frost, Pompeo said the “world should know” that “where we see American interests at stake or fundamental norms around the world that need to be enforced, we’ll use all the powers that we have.”

While the administration’s preferred measures were economic and diplomatic, he said, “In the event that kinetic action or military action is needed, you should know that President Trump is fully prepared to undertake that action.”

Pompeo did not specify what Turkish actions would prompt a U.S. military response, saying he did not want to “get out in front of the president’s decision about whether to take the awesome undertaking of using America’s military might.”

"Now here’s a deal they cannot refuse."

You can say that again!

Have you intentionally posted this all those times? If yes, why?

[McGruff]

Wishful thinking on someone’s part.

[kaehurowing]

Obama put this Islamist in office in the first place.

[RummyChick]

There has been some kind of glitch

[kaehurowing]

The Russians have taken control.

How about re-reading again

[familyop]

Well, that’s a fine example of Russian ingenuity.

[marktwain]

What a headline.

Really nasty and biased.

Makes President Trump out to be warmonger, when it only says what should be obvious for any President.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

No we’re not. Pompeo should be fired for stoking war.

[kaehurowing]

Well, that’s a fine example of Russian ingenuity.

If the Senate signs off on it, we get to keep the plunder, exterminate anything that looks at us cross eyed. First rape, then plunder, THEN burn all, (Nits make lice), why not?

We need practice on how wars USED to be. You know, the horror, stacked bodies, war crimes that we can't show on TV, and winning at any cost.

[taxesareforever]

Remind him what happened in the Crusades.

How did you come up with THIS source. Talk about obscure.

[Zhang Fei]

Go to war has a very specific meaning, involving significant forces. I’d say this is more “ready to strike Turkish forces in the manner that the Russians were hit in Syria”.

Sorry, no. FR was frozen so I cancelled and reposted and it continued to freeze. I will ask mod to delete dupes.

[libh8er]

Lol, sorry screen was frozen.

[Fungi]

Just wondering. No harm , no fowl—despite thee fact I hate that term. :)

[DesertRhino]

Idiotic. If we are seriously pondering war with Turkey, think maybe we shouldn’t store nukes there?

Free Constantinople!
