Today the president referred to the disaster in Syria as strategically brilliant. Our military there had to run for their lives and then Russia trolled us by hoisting their flag and filming the American base they took over.
An American diplomat's wife killed a young man in a car accident in the UK, she quickly made her way back to America. The parents of the young man went to the White House hoping to convince trump to waive diplomatic immunity. They wanted their son to have some justice. What they got was trump ambushing them by having the woman who killed their son at the White House too.
What the Hell is wrong with what he wrote? Simple and therefore not up for interpretation.
Giving Turkey a choice backed by a consequence if he doesn't play ball. You and everyone here has no doubt seen the sanctions he has authorised. Turkey is not going to h as ve any long or medium term benefit over this action.
So Turkey can make a choice and make it knowing very clearly what the consequence will be.
My big question that no one can seem to answer is:
"Given Turkey was going to go into Syria and attack Kurds and is a NATO ally, what should Trump have done that would have been acceptable to you?
A) Attack a NATO ally with a few dozen men to their 15000?
B) Join attacks on the Kurds?
C) withdraw and let Kurds fight for tbeir own land and join whatever forces they need to, to expel Turkey....like Syria and Russia?

And he talked about sand, lots of sand.
He said the Kurds are not angels, so I guess that justifys killing them.
He said some of them are even worse than ISIS.
Why would you suppose that?
