re: Turkey Leaks Positions of American Troops in Northern Syria

I can't keep up with all the frogs and memes and the cool kids.

I just thought we'd see a new leaf being turned over once DJT started running things. He's spoken with Erdogan, and even met with him if I'm not mistaken. When does this become his show?

But if me being a slapdick to highlight the hack hypocrisy around here bothers you then you should just ignore me for the next 4/8 years

No, no, no. I was told that we have a strongman entering the White House and the bad actors of the world would respond differently to him than they did that pussy, Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

So what's going wrong here?

bro Turkey almost got into war with RUSSIA a few times (which, ironically, would have dragged us in)

Turkey is an irrational actor right now. it's that simple

this isn't a Trump problem and it isn't an Obama problem. it's a Turkey problem

So now even our allies are shitting on our heads?

they've been doing this since about 1780

seriously some ppl on this board are just in full derangement syndrome mode

If they are, it's because they've had 8 years of instruction here of how to go totally off the rails about it.

Why is Turkey stepping all over our weak President?

Between this and North Korea, I'm so tired of these little baby countries shitting on our heads. We need a real leader

You obviously are incapable of any logical thought process as to how our foreign affairs got so fricked up...8 years of niglect.

Yeah, it was the 6 months of Trump, not the 8 years of Obama that's shaped our current foreign policy up to this point...

You do realize, our FP will take a few more months to be established to the world, right? Hell, y'all blamed Bush for EVERYTHING under the sun up until Obama's last year in office. Even then, it was still "Bush's Fault".

Turkey originally opposed helping the Kurds and was almost encouraging people to cross into Syria. All of that improved under Obama. This seems like a definite step backwards.

In late 2009 you were trying to pin high unemployment and the price of gas on Obama even though both were improving and had turned in the right direction. Not really the same thing.

if Putin can't keep Turkey in check, there is no strong man on earth who can do that job

you're creating a strawman to get gotcha points on a bad example. you're doubling down
