3D Chess..............
Yep. Three dimensional chess.
ping John Bolton discredited again.
Kurds and way... kurds and way...
MAGA!
There are big holes in the referenced Treehouse article from a few days ago. I highly recommend reading it carefully. I think it is well done but too optimistic about a quick negotiated peace.
John Bolton is merely the life support system for a mustache.
It is an angry mustache that wants to kill everyone in wars.
Hitler was a life support system for another angry mustache as was Stallin.
This article is a much deserved kick in the stomach to the armchair generals who all thought they knew better than the President of the United States.
The two best presidents we've ever had.
Bump!
And Reagan makes three...
How do we know this is Erdogan desperate to negotiate?
Trump is a strategic genius, the likes of which Western civilisation has not known since the days of Alexander of Macedon.
He doesn’t thing in days, or hours, like most politicians. He thinks in epochs
“Let’s face it, government bureaucrats are not that bright.”
LOL,the understatement of the millennia!
Erdogan is not desperate to negotiate.
The Turks and their allies the SNA will do what they can on the battlefield first.
Give them about a week. The Russians have ground troops in the fight, and armor, and air support.
The Turks are likely to pull back to their borders in NE Syria.
The big question is Afrin in NW Syria, the Turks occupied that sometime ago, Assad says he wants it back. Lots of Kurds there and the SDF is pledged to take up the fight.
Didn’t Trump publicly say that the Kurds can find somebody else to help them? I think I heard him say that about a week ago. Now the Kurds have the Russians helping them. Russia is a lot closer to that neighborhood than we are.
Trump once again exhibits strategic insight not seen in the White House since George Washington.
The two best presidents we’ve ever had
I'm not sure if they aren't that bright or whether it's that their only goal is to entrench and enhance their power. They have no motivation to solve the problems their tasked to solve - their goal is to increase to problem so they can ask for more funding and power to supposedly combat it. This is why the top levels of the military will always be for perpetual war and saber rattling.
