I’m avoiding these threads because I do not want to get into down and dirty arguments with FRiends here on this subject.

Trump had ALL of this time to get out of Syria but now his bull sh## excuse that he’s doing it now is because it’s finally time?!?!?

No, he’s being a pu$$y to the Turkish president and that’s a shame.

We really do NOT know what is going on there. And let’s not forget that elements of ISIS were likely supported by us vs Assad. And the Kurds are Muslim commies who, IIRC, have not been too nice to Christians over there. It is a terrible mess.

Not holding your view against you. You may have more info than I do.

For someone who says they are avoiding these threads, you’re not doing a very good job. If I were you I would ask the moderator to remove your post. Before you get a time out.

The only ones you can complain about if your issue is timing are the military whiners who wouldn't comply with a pullout order the first time said to pull out of the damn country we shouldn't have been in in the first place.

Or a month or more ago when Trump told the military to pull the troops out and they screamed that they needed time to set up the pullout, Trump was a Pu$$y then, too, right?

Move to Tel Aviv and cry with Kolomoysky over Syria and Ukraine not falling into the lap of the corrupt Neocon scum or deal with the fact that Trump is keeping his word and pulling the US out of senseless wars.

He’s not getting out of Syria. Trump has redeployed 50. repeat 50 troops

The United States was supposed to be in Syria for 30 days, that was many years ago. We stayed and got deeper and deeper into battle with no aim in sight. When I arrived in Washington, ISIS was running rampant in the area. We quickly defeated 100% of the ISIS Caliphate,.....

....including capturing thousands of ISIS fighters, mostly from Europe. But Europe did not want them back, they said you keep them USA! I said “NO, we did you a great favor and now you want us to hold them in U.S. prisons at tremendous cost. They are yours for trials.” They.....

.....again said “NO,” thinking, as usual, that the U.S. is always the “sucker,” on NATO, on Trade, on everything. The Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so. They have been fighting Turkey for decades. I held off this fight for....

....almost 3 years, but it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous Endless Wars, many of them tribal, and bring our soldiers home. WE WILL FIGHT WHERE IT IS TO OUR BENEFIT, AND ONLY FIGHT TO WIN. Turkey, Europe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and the Kurds will now have to.....

...figure the situation out, and what they want to do with the captured ISIS fighters in their “neighborhood.” They all hate ISIS, have been enemies for years. We are 7000 miles away and will crush ISIS again if they come anywhere near us!

Turks have killed Kurds for ages. And Kurds kill Turks. I suspect the Turks are worse than the Kurds, but I don’t think WE can do squat all about it. Not in the long run.

Spent too much of my life in the ME to think there are any “good guys” there.

[Wilderness Conservative]

When are you leaving to j p in the Kurds. Lots of tough talk.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

This is dumb. Turkey is a member of NATO, hosts our nuclear weapons, and has one of the largest land armies in the world. You want us to fight Turkey to save these commie Kurds?

I’m avoiding these threads...

I see evidence that you are doing no such thing.
