I certainly hope the dems plan to run on keeping troops in Syria. Make it the centerpiece of their campaign. After all, the kurds yadda yadda yadda.
On the one hand, it is probably slightly more popular than some of their other core positions, eg free health care for illegals, green new deal, gun confiscation. And it's not like any of their voters will be volunteering to go either, so there's that.
On the other hand, we've spent 10 or 15 trillion already on pointless sand wars, not to mention the hundreds of thousands dead and maimed. That money would have paid for a lot of nice stuff here at home, like a wall, infrastructure and a replacement for the failed Obamacare mess.
It sounds like Turkey will get the buffer zone around the border they wanted. That's probably best for both sides.
That's definitely true. Turkey said prior to the removal of U.S. troops that they wouldn't do any of this, and they said yesterday that they would never agree to a ceasefire. So who knows what tomorrow will bring. We'll hope for the best though.Will have to see what happens in the next 120 hours. The Kurds won't have agreed to this I expect and the Turks will violate it. Also have Russia and Syria agreed to the annexation of Syria..
Smoke and mirrors "deal" perhaps to placate the base.
Just imagine what Putin,Kim Jong,Xi,The Ayatollah etc are thinking when they see that pic lol!!!
Nancy cut Trumps balls off in front of the world.No one will respect him now.
Interesting characterization, but it’s all in your head. Whether you independently thought of the characterization you presented is another story. Did they ever take down the YouTube video showing Putin stare down Obama, making Obama clearly uncomfortable?
Trump is working to make things better for Americans. From fighting for a fair trade deal, implementing border security, and fighting for our troops by ending some of the US’s involvement in unending Sand Wars. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to interfere with Trump in the fulfillment of his promises to the American people and his duty to protect our Constitution.
It has shown that 30% or so of the population have no strong bond with ethics/morals or facts.
I recall from some marketing lectures that about 1/3 are highly susceptible to advertising, almost any ads regardless of quality if repeated influence them. The Milgram experiment showed about 66% were, at least in the immediate term of the experiment, enthralled by authoritarian commands and I'd say safe to assume the results if the current national experiment are showing about a third will solidly embrace authoritarianism.
I discussed with a rabbi buddy how I suspected Trump would capture about 1/3 of America by default if he just stuck to the techniques he took from the book of Hitler's speeches he kept in his nightstand as revealed by his first wife (sod off with Godwin's law).
He sent me this ages back when Trump started his rallies. Check the date.
