No, Turkey is part of NATO, they are not our allies. They allowed thousands of ISIS fighters to escape through their country. Also known as the Jihad highway.

actually yes they are. In order for our troops to be there and fight the turkey national army we would be declaring war against turkey.
that would require congress to pass a declaration. that isn't going to happen.

not sure the number of troops that were there but not enough and not enough man power to fight the turkish national army.
it was a smart move to get them out of there rather than let them get blown up.

i am sure the turkish president said that he was attacking whether our troops were there or not.
sorry our troops are there to fight isis not turkey's army.

Sorry, didn't work like that. The Turkish military had been mobilized long before for this attack. Erdogan was just waiting for Trump to remove the US soldiers ... lest they wanted to become casualties.

Do you sincerely believe that Erdoğan would have launched attacks against the Kurds if Americans were still with them? You’re not that naive, are you?

There you go again thinking they would attack us, then it would be war. Why do guys bend over backwards to lie?

No, these people really are that stupid. They've been shouting this "OH YOU WOULD'VE DECLARED WAR ON TURKEY!!??" talking point in unison. I assume Rush or somebody said it recently.

How stupid does someone have to be to attempt to claim Turkey would attack us and declare war if we didn't leave Syria. :lamo So you're claiming Turkey threatened Trump and he backed down.

Not at all. in order to attack and fire at another country national army would require a declaration of war.
I am sure the turkey president called and said we are going to bomb the crap out of the area you better move your people.
if not they will get caught in the bombing.

our guys are there to fight ISIS not the turkey national army.
it helps if you actually know what you are talking about vs your hype media nonsense that doesn't.

Trump protected the troops which is what a commander is supposed to do.

Given another 4 years, I might agree, but if we can dump Trump next year (or earlier ;) ) I think our allies will recognize our efforts to correct the terrible error of ‘16.

Overseas Muslims loved Obama but they hate Trump, just like American hedonist enemies of American values, traditions, history, laws, customs, God-given rights and civilized beliefs.

So why is Trump sending troops to protect the murderous Saudi prince now?

So you really are stupid enough to think that Turkey would have attacked US troops and that brave Trump saved our troops from the Turkish invasion by pulling them back? Jesus christ you guys are simple. You know we supply Turkey with virtually all of their military equipment right?

Actually Europe doesn’t have open borders. Now that your misunderstanding has been cleared up, would you like to try again?
 
Thread title: Republicans have no one to blame but themselves

Not only do the Repugs have no one to blame but themselves but if they think Donald Vladimir Trumpkin is not going to box them into an ever tightening corner, they are living a fantasy.....hoping for a miracle. They are going to have to decide to go down with the good ship RS Trumpkin or jump off and they are going to have to make that decision far sooner than they thought they would.

The walls are falling in on DonDon which is going to make things tougher on the GOP.

Maybe it has something to do with trying to maintain a safe balance of power in the tumultuous region.

Nah...Just another example of Trump making bad decisions because he refuses to listen to those who really know what is best for American interests on military matters. Remember, while campaigning, when Trump was asked what the nuclear triad is, he was clueless. Now the idiot has the codes to our nukes.....and he is the poster child for the old adage 'loose lips sink ships.'

Ah no.... making a mortal enemy out of ally is not sparing blood of our citizens. its creating another enemy that will eventually cost us our blood.

Would you have said that if Obama had done it? Or could you just be spinning explanations just based on who you think is saying or doing something?

If a Muslim and a Christian, or a self-proclaimed liberal vs a conservative, say or do the exact same thing, do you think you would be a little biased in judging them?

How did you feel about pulling out of Iraq?
Click to expand...

It was a disastrous move; America decided Iraq needed 'democracy' and what happened? ISIS happened, emerging from the power vacuum left after Saddam's demise. America is great at starting wars but not very good at figuring out an exit strategy-irrespective of which political party is in power at the time.

I don't remember criticizing Obama for doing things which ended up giving Muslim terrorists more power in more areas of the Middle East, but I do remember thinking he was not being wise and did appear to be aiding the Muslim brotherhood and ISIS (he called them ISIL because he seemed determined to give the terror organization support to their claim of legitimacy in their murders) in those places.
