---Trump's Betrayal Of The Kurds Will Echo For Generations---

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-kurds-syria-future-220639675.html

truly tragic.

Yeah, we must feel bad for the Kurds since they ain’t here. Once again America says, “Hey come on, you fucked up! You trusted us.”

Bet you haven’t begun to imagine the shit storm coming our way as result of blowback from this betrayal.

This is no joke.  We are creating generations of people with damn good reason to be pissed off with us. They’ll call it righteous anger and we’ll call them terrorists. Hell, they might hook up with folks from south of the border who came looking for help from the land of opportunity and had their families ripped apart and their children held in cages for months. There’s a couple of generations of really pissed off people with axes to grind.

Congratulations. Your wet dreams are about to start coming true.

If they're not on your soil, they can't blow you up.
Trump wanted immigration and travel bans, but the Left said no, very unwisely.

Maybe they were

But we have a country to run.

I would love to hear what compelling national interest you think justified stabbing the Kurds in the back.

Were you one of the gang calling Trump a "war monger" back in 2016-17?

Adding troops to do battle in N Syria was not an option for Trump.

You can stand on "if we hadn't left the Turks would not have come in" - but that was not this president's belief.

What would Liz Warren's move have been, in your opinion?

[Hairy Lime]

Guns are great.
Every woman and girl over 10 in America should carry one...so that if a man enters the female toilets and tries to get to the women and girls...they can whip out their guns and say "back off dirtbag" and if the man smashed the door down, they can shoot him.

No need for the women and girls to be sitting ducks and murdered, as shown on Law and Order just now on my tv.

God what a frightening place the inside of your head must be.

Why should I answer your question when you won't answer mine?

[Yankguy1]

I'm pretty confident "Liz Warren" wouldn't abandon allies to the tender mercies of dictators. Even if that dictator could put a few bucks in her family's pockets.

What's America famous for?  Toilet rapists and guns.  And the guns are just to get at the girls....

NK should be looking at vegetarian options to get through this.

What WOULD she do?

[Yankguy1]

She would continue to support the Kurds would be my guess. And more to the point she would rely on the expertise and advise of her military advisors and not ignore them.

[Yankguy1]

On the other hand she doesn't have the military knowledge borne from a couple of years of military school and many years of dodging the draft.

That movie is a gift that just keeps giving.

Yes it is.

Criticism of China’s unfair treatment of American companies has focused on technology transfers, state support of domestic businesses and intellectual-property theft. But Beijing doesn’t just want foreign companies to advance its economic interests. It wants them to advance its political ones, too. In subtle and sophisticated ways, Beijing convinces, cajoles and cudgels American companies to promote the values of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, parrot the party’s views and enshrine self-censorship about China in their corporate cultures. When it’s successful, as with ESPN, the company advances Chinese propaganda.

One way American companies protect the party’s view is by suppressing negative information; Morey did this when he deleted his tweet. So did Activision Blizzard, an American entertainment company that required a professional video gamer to forfeit $10,000 in prize money for shouting, “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times” in a post-match interview. Beijing does not want to weaken these companies or push them out of China. Instead, it wants them to follow the party’s rules, both in China and globally...

No objective beyond get out.

No strategy except get out.

No tactics other than get out.

What WOULD she do?

Kid’s big problems with Warren are that she is a very successful woman who got her success without cozying up to and compromising herself to the creeps Kid regularly sucks off despite the lack of personal return he receives.

Warren has also maintained the conservative principles she had as a young woman and those principles have taken her to the leftward end of the Democratic coalition, proving very clearly that republicans are neither principled or conservative.

Kid hates this.
