We need to GTFO of endless wars especially those involving groups that have been killing each other wholesale for the last 1,000 years.

Unless there’s a clear identifiable threat to the United States we need to stay out.

Period.

I give zero f**** about the Kurds.

[Farcesensitive]

We need to just leave.

The libs didn’t give a crap about Kurds when Saddam was nerve gassing them in northern Iraq. Now they suddenly care when we’re pulling out. Those people are schizo. After screaming for nearly 20 years to get our troops out of there, they’re screaming now that we are pulling out. They are whacko.

It is important to remember the initial motivation for the White House’s decision was,,,, a reaction to a Turkish invasion that cut U.S. supply lines and “[endangered] American forces.”

Consider also the rest of the context: Iran is itching for a fight. There was an article a week ago (?) that made the situation clear: The US doesn't want to find itself in a situation where it is engaged with Turkey to the north and then have Iran attack from the southern flank. That would have been a cluster.... for the US troops.

American military is everywhere. The “footprint” and political use of them is only relevant to the left when they can score points and use the military like pawns in a casket or not.

[McGruff]

The Kurds survived long before Obama got us into this mess. Make peace with Assad is your best choice.

[lightman]

Kurds, Basques, and Serbs...the last “politically correct” targets of prejudice (and worse).

Young men who were born after 911 are serving in Afghanistan where their fathers fought over the same mountain passes.
