Well hes a multi billionaire, ran for president without any political experience and beat the most "qualified"+ person ever to run for the office. And to add the media and intelligence community were against him yet he pulled it off.

Then again you called him retarded.

Why should I care about the Kurds or Turkey?


Kurds: because they were our biggest ally against Islamic Extremism in the area.
Turkey: because they are run by a murderous dictator who hates the west and it’s values.

Us leaving our allies is cowardly. I voted for Trump, but he is dead wrong here.

They helped us defeat ISIS, which we couldn't do without them and we promised to offer them protection.

Correct. Some people are very arrogant and overconfident in their capabilities.

actually George HW Bush was by all accounts the most qualified using the same metrics thasts Dems used to CONVINCE OTHERS DEMS in the primary fight vs Bernie

and Hillary was far more unlikable than she was expirienced
in fact I hold that Trump didnt as much win as Hilary lost


that was a HORRIBLY run Presidential campaign

So I'm a little pessimistic that the so called experts and even Trump know Jack and shite.


Let's be real here. We all know Trump isn't taking time off from his 3am Twitter fits to read full military intel reports himself.

And it had nothing to do with protecting the American people. Hell, Saudi Arabia is the American people's worst enemy in the Middle East, but has always gotten the green light. No Muslim country will ever be a friend to the American people. Special interest groups and politicians, sure, but not the citizens nor the soldiers.

This is an issue where Trump has clearly made the wrong choice


Oh really?

Sounds like you have an opinion.

Things haven't ever been clear in the Middle East.

Sounds like there will be more dead bodies piled up like the last 1000 years.

Thankfully it won't be American bodies.

I think it's the right call. Let's see how it plays out.

But spare us the absolutes.

True but no way in hell Turkey was going to attack any area with even 5 US Troops in place.


Yea, Turkey literally attacked the Kurds in Syria last year with 2,000 US troops there. Look at Afrin.

It's amusing how arrogant and narcissistic some people are, to think they know more than all the military intel, advisors and cabinet members the President has. 

People look through a microscope and decide they know what's going on in the world.




Not only do some people do the above, others will always assume the most negative stance possible on any topic politic-related.

Not necessarily saying Trump has been 100% correct in his actions here, just that some people will hate it no matter what.

Newsflash..... Trump is the arrogant narcissist in this case. The military, CIA, and his own party advised against this move

Wit? This is exactly what AOC demanded when running for office. You should be happy about that.

Of course she just conveniently changed mind once the Orange man agreed this month.
