    Trump can't wait to step on the next banana peel and trip on it.

    The Kurds are holding thousands of ISIS terrorists!

    Trump is Irrationality Incarnate

    This is how he deflects from Ukraine-gate.

    Not even his allies at Fox are swallowing it:

    ...But mistakes like this are to be expected when the president makes impulsive decisions rather than thinking things through with the help of his top advisers. As Fox News reported this morning, Trump’s decision completely blindsided the Department of Defense...

    That's not how you clean a mess.
    The US contributed to a weakened Assad which gave away much of Syria's territory to lawlessness from which Al Qaeda and IS thrived.

    There are good reasons the most competent millitary strategists are calling Trump's decision peabrained

    Too bad, we can go back if necessary.

    When I was in the 6th grade I was getting pounded a lot, I had a baby face.
    My two cousins took it upon them selves to teach me to fight, they were ROUGH with me.

    After I won two fights I no longer got beat up (well not without me fighting back).

    That's all it took - fighting back and I had a reputation as a tough guy,

    Get my jist?

    He has not pulled out yet. He has an end game.

    Kurds have been betrayed at least 8 times by the US over the last 100 years. There is no strategy other than to eat his own words

    That would have been under Obama. He was calling the foreign policy shots for 8 long years, remember?

    The DC military intervention complex is still alive and well.

    Tucker drops the hammer on Syria warmongers (excellent)… – CITIZEN FREE PRESS

    There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Everyone wails about military involvement until it benefits their side. Trump says he will take Turkey down financially if they escalate against the Kurds. I believe him. It’s working with Iran. He is doing just what he said he would do, force the hand of those not doing their part, & getting us out of the never ending job of world policing while others enrich themselves. What don’t they understand? We have a president who says what he means, & means what he says. Guess no one has seen that before, meh.

    Those who want war always preach that things would be worse without military aggression. But, it's hard to imagine how America's last few wars could have been worse without military aggression. It's hard to imagine how things could have been better the times American dogs of war didn't get their war, if they had gotten their war.

    Trump should pull US troops out of all middle-eastern countries, the sooner the better.

    Yeah, abandon the Kurds. They're none of our concern. The Kurds are holding ISIS prisoners? So what? ISIS is their enemy, not ours. (On the other hand, American lying dogs of war created ISIS.)

    Who says that? The Kurds have been the only constant positive in the region. They can, & should, still be helped in many ways. The rest of your quote about ISIS is equally off base. There, but by the Grace of God, & having been born in this country, go you & I.

    I think you and I have different ideas of what positive is. Also, "positive in the region" is none our business. Further, war/military isn't the resort for "positive in the region", even if it were our business. And, don't say God makes you do it.

    The Germans are paying off the Turks not to allow any more refugees to depart from Turkey for Europe. So Turkey is big and fat already.

    He's getting an earful from a lot of people. Why doesn't he pull out of Germany? No one would care in the least what would happen to Germany at the hands of the Russians and the Muslims.

    You can't betray someone whom you owe no loyalty to in the first place. The US has betrayed the American people on multiple occasions for the sake of the Kurds.
