...

In 2012, Wikileaks published private emails from the 42-year-old Brit showing she had splashed out $350,000 on 130 pieces of furniture when the bloody civil war had been raging for one year.

She also bought a pair of $7,000 shoes with crystal-encrusted heels and had the goods shipped to Dubai, to get around sanctions.

The murderous pair’s ultra-modern presidential mansion — commissioned in 1979 and designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange — is thought to have cost up to $1 billion.

Erdogan is a much bigger threat than Assad will ever be.

Assad is a pimp.

This alone is worthy of a few well placed cruise missiles.

"...why?..."


The precise reason I agree with Tomi Lahren about this Syria mess is because she has stated we do not wish to be ENTANGLED in that filthy sandbox. People whom we think are our “allies” today will be shooting at us in late-2019 if we provide them weapons now.

And I'm sure she came up with that position all by herself,
relying only on her own little whore mind and little whore experience.

How old are you?

Do you really need to take advice from kids?

Haven't lots of other folks, maybe even you, thought the same thing?

How could missiles and bombs miss something that big?

It is sort of relevant as the civil war there began with the hunger riots.

I remember another country where a fashionable leader’s wife was deposed - The Philippines - NOW look what a Jihadi mess they are in.

Isn’t that typical of all leaders in the world. If we didn’t have world leaders would we even have wars? Face it a bunch of individuals just minding their own business don’t organize for a fight unless threatened.

Prior to this latest round of fighting over the last five years or so, Assad treated the Christians in his nation pretty well.

I’ve talked to others about this, and it was news to me.

I’m not convinced his populace hates him as much as others do.

Under Jimmy Cater, the Shah of Iran was demonized. We dumped his ass and look what we wound up with.

I’m just saying, we may be stabbing ourselves in the back here.

Agreed. We are entangling ourselves in their perpetual 1000-year complicated civil war.
It is impossible to verify if our “allies” over there today won’t consider us the “Great Satan” next week and commence shooting at us.

Tomi Lahren is totally correct that we should avoid this foreign entanglement. Her opinion makes sense regardless of age.

Either way, I believe our children are the future. We need to teach them well and let them lead the way. We can show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier. If she is using that as her basis to avoid Syrian issues, she is accurate.

Well, given the situation there at least since 1919, which turned everything upside down, we should stay out of there.
