Watch your back Mr. president.

Turkey is doing a great job of playing the US and Russia against each other, especially over Syria. Wish we’d tell Erdagon to slow his roll.
So the Turks can use it against Greece? Listen to Melania, Donald. Don’t do it.
You’re right. Something is really wrong if this originated from the White House.
[MS13 uses 9mm ammo, just like LAPD, should the police sell them some ammo? Turkey is attacking the Syrians for attacking ISIS and other rebels inside their own country.]

It’s not Turkey that keeps flying nuclear bombers right up to the edge of Alaska’s airspace. It’s not Turkey that has thousands of nukes aimed at American cities. As enemies go, ISIS is a midget. Russia and China are the big ones.
Watch your back Mr. president.
Not good. Should have negotiated the S400s out. Or at least given them to the Us for inspection and in exchange we would have supplied them with patriots .
Giving ammo like this to Turkey without even getting anything back is Bs.
AUH HELL NO!

Why oh Why does Trump keep favoring Erdogan? Erdogan is an Islamic supremacist who enslaves his own people and fosters much of the invasion of the EU. We should stay out of this fight and let our enemies kill each other.
Has the U.S. pulled all its stored nukes out of Turkey?
In fact, if any exist anywhere in the EU islamic republic, eg. France, Germany, UK (even with brexit), Spain, Italy, etc., get them all out and store them in the unused tunnels under NYC...
There won’t be another president anywhere near this good again in my lifetime, but I am very much against this.
Still, I could see somewhere where this is justified as strengthening his hand in the international poker in some 4d chess way that my brain cannot handle

Drama. WWII was coming because of Nazi Germany and Japan. The Russia non-aggression pact was basically another Munich agreement, trying to buy time. Stalin was not about to launch WWII into Europe. That was the basis of his whole feud with Trotski. T wanted worldwide revolution, Stalin wanted to turn inward with his control freak mass murder show.
As for the cold war, that ended almost 30 years ago. And what Turks did in Korea 60 years ago is meaningless. As for nuclear bombers, a lone TU-95 on patrol isn’t on it’s way to nuke us. If that day came it would be ICBMs and Sub missiles.
For all your fulminating, Russia isn’t the problem in Syria. They are all that saved Syria from a Sunni theocratic terror regime.
ISIS was created by the CIA/Saudis/and the gulf states for the purpose of removing Assad. Assad is an Alawite, neither Shia nor Sunni. Assad was the most liberal of any regime in the area.
Under Assad, you could be a Christian, a Jew at one of the two remaining Synagogues who were not pro-zionist and didn’t leave in 1948. You could be a woman and wear what you wanted. A woman could hold a job or get the education she wanted. She could drive a car. She could drive a car to Latakia beach where she could dance to music in a swimsuit while drinking Syrian wine....at a beach party. She could marry or divorce as she wanted.
And their elections are not as clean as ours, but they are at least up to California standards, and she could vote for Assad or against him.
We tried to replace that with a Saudi Sunni Wahabbist model.
Those TU-95s you are mad at helped blow up the rebels and save Syria. Turkey is the bad guys, and we are in the same camp, still trying to overthrow Assad.
Syria is better under Assad than under any government we were trying to create.
It’s retarded, and not authorized by anything more than the 9/11 use of force authorization.

I have great sympathy for the Alawite position as a tiny minority in Syria. I also like the fact that they’re more similar to Christianity than Islam. The problem is they should have thought of the consequences before making Uncle Sam their enemy. Of that trillion or so we spent in Iraq, Assad is probably responsible for a few hundred billion of it, by sponsoring foreign terrorists against GI’s in Iraq. For us to give him a few angsty moments isn’t such a bad thing.
Instead they should be offering Greece a wall
More fruits of Obama’s asinine attempt at regime change
I’m very angry about this development.
Turkey is no ally of ours and the Islamist madman, Erdogan, has invaded Syria with the intention to annex Syria.
Trump is receiving very bad advice. We should stay out of this mess.
Whichever faction is losing in that area, that’s the faction we should arm. It’s a “quagmire,” you know. ;D
