Oh I see so now you are in favour of US military presence whereas before, beating drum of anti war narratives seemed to suit your anti Trump resistance movement! You can’t seem to figure out what you libtards stand for let alone what gender you want to be! Hilariously funny watching your double standard on display here!
How would that be a good idea???
Seems by now you would know the answer to that one…
The ISIS prisoners would create a bigger problem than the Kurds. It would divert troops from Syria to fight them. They could sit back, do nothing and let Erdogan struggle with them.
All sides should have negotiated a homeland solution years ago.
I would like to know what type of deal the Kurds made with Assad . What will it cost them and how will it help them.
Well look it here! Interesting development!

Trump Signs Executive Order to Impose Sanctions, Visa Bans on Turkey
The problem here is that if we do anything to promote the removal from office the leader of a NATO member state we have just opened a huge can of worms.
Unfortunately Erdogan’s purge in the wake of the failed coup probably ended any hope of him being forced from office by his own people.
I have some good friends in Turkey and I hate seeing what is happening to their country and there’s not a damned thing they can do to stop it.
A good start. …
Yeah! Dam those free and open elections when a dictator assumes control! Wait for it though, life is full of surprises!
NBA Star who is from Turkey has a message for Erdogan!
Some countries need a dictator, especially in the middle east region; that’s why we should have asked Saddam - begged him if necessary, to take over the reins again, but we’ll (the West) be keeping a close eye on him. But what do we do? Why, we fucking top him instead (DOH!), then Iraq descends into sectarianism! Another fine mess we got ourselves into?
Absolutely not. Saddam was a cancer that needed to be excised.
We screwed up the reconstitution of Iraq in a number of ways but removing Saddam and his boys was the right thing to do period.
No! Disagree The world needs to be rid of dictators! How the hell do you go from wanting what is good for humanity to advocating for keeping the status quo? The part you are confused about is whether or not we should have gone into Iraq that created the power vacuum that followed the invasion. Not the same equivalency!
Back to the OP- Trump did the cowardly thing. I’m all done making excuses for this narcissist.
The Kurds are (or at least were) our steadfast allies. You don’t support, then give the finger to the best fighters in the region. Erdogan releasing DAESH loons into Europe? Assad might just beat him to the punch.
“…That I in my great and unmatched wisdom…” It doesn’t trouble anyone that the guy with the nuclear football thinks and speaks like a cross between some African dictator, Maxine Waters and a twelve year old kid trying to impress?
But look what happens when we remove them - the entire country over which they ruled with an iron fist descends into (in context) sectarian-related slaughter, bombs in crowded market-places, and utter chaos? How can you deny that a dictatorship can work for the greater good of the stable populace? I mean, take Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan, when we, in our breathtaking arrogance, insist that ‘We know what’s best for you’ when we so obviously don’t know what’s best for them?
Well that is why when removing a dictator there has to be a plan in place that insures a vacuous situation doesn’t occur. The problem with Iraq having been there and having in been involved in the politics that oversaw our occupation, the players behind the entire fiasco had ill gotten intentions that involved greed, and Haliburton was the primary benefactor!
I’ve always been pro-Trump, but he has become arrogant, intolerant, and authoritarian now. It’s a pity, because at first he was certainly an improvement on all recent POTUSs.
Let’s face it - we made an utter dogs’ dinner of Iraq by over-staying our welcome. The time to leave was when that gigantic statue of Saddam was toppled, but instead we stayed on, and, as shown in Bitter Lake with Afghanistan, we were given the run-around by all of the various factions, thereby earning the contempt and derision of the populaces because of our stupidity, naivete, and gullibility. They don’t think nor rationalise like we do, and ne’er the twain shall meet. For god’s sake watch Bitter Lake and learn from it??
