US to step aside and allow Turkey to invade Syria, abandoning Kurdish allies

[Pwnz]

I really only read this as 2 possible things:
1. Putin is cashing in before it's too late.
2. Trump has no allies and is going insane.

Either way I hope Graham and Romney can build up a group of 20 Republicans to remove this bitch from WH already and lock him away along with basically everyone but Baron Trump.

I guess Putin didn't fill them in on the plan beforehand.

Brock Reiher As a fellow Frankie stan, the shit you're trying to pull in here is not cool dude. Like, "why don't you come over here to fix our shit if you like fixing shit so much lul" is some grade A trolling in a very serious topic.

Starting to see tweets indicating Turkey has begun air attacks on Kurd areas on the Syria/Iraq border.

There's no point in attempting to have a serious conversation with someone who isn't open to learning.

Apparently a Kurdish government delegation is in flight to Damascus to hold talks with Assad.

They're shelling them with artillery. Invasion is gonna happen soon before the US can backtrack.

The Kurds allying with Assad and Iran probably draws Iraq and the Gulf states into a conflict. This could get out of control quickly.

I get being frustrated at people who don't realize people would end up on the street in a weeks notice (or in jail) if they dared to demonstrate instead of going to work...But people get frustrated at how nothing about any of this is done. It sucks to watch such a large country with so much influence burn to the ground and taking everyone else with them, and noone can (or in sadly a lot of instances don't want to) do anything about it.

 

[Pwnz]

Oh wow, I can't keep up with this thread. Already too late.

Moscow Mitch time to fucking remove this traitor from office. Even for you this is unacceptable, come on now. Insult Obama as much as you want with whatever bombastic bullshit speech as you do it.

Yup, I completely agree. I think people are doing what they can a lot of the time though, which is what makes ignorant posts like we've seen in this thread so frustrating.

Turkey apparently bombed bombed the crossing and a convoy stayed in iraq.

With Iraq already on the verge of civil war this will get ugly fast.

The claim that nothing is being done is simply wrong and serves to illustrate the point being made. Why seriously engage when that's the kind of dishonesty being confronted from the getgo?

If in 5 years, We look back at this being the cause of WW3, Im going to be pissed. This. Of. All. Things. US abandoning an ally thanks to a madman that went behind the back of so many leaders of nations and commanders of troops.

Sure, he could shake the name I'd agree to that.

I don't think he ever really was an outright traitor like Trump. The GOP Senators are more turning a blind eye because it benefits them now. Well now it doesn't, this is a disaster for everyone but Trump and Putin.

If they can't veto override they will. People forget the Republican's ability to quickly 180 and fall in line. Remember when Fox News and the mainstream Republicans hated Trump?

I think some people outside of the US are just used to... a different form of protest. We don't even have to look at France or Hong Kong for this, but in a lot of people's eyes, protests there can actually be called that. I think people just see a lot of US citizens complain on Twitter and that's the extent of it, because people are too busy working and surviving to actually start serious shit.

It's not dishonesty, maybe a bit misguided because they ignore the situation people in the US actually are in, and how the country is too big to make any concentrated form of protest have actual impact. But I can see why they see it that way.

damaged control? Unmatched wisdom lol. Just reverse your decision and take another L

All dead people, from our allies, will be DIRECTLY IMPUTABLE to Trump.

So yeah, this is super, uber bad for him.

So I'm guessing we're going to have a majority of senators and House of Representative of Democrats in 2020. Previously the Outlook was Republican still hold the Senate and we hold presidency and the house. If this is allowed buy by Moscow Mitch, there will be hell to pay in 2020. Especially if this starts a World War 3.

This is a greater threat to his Presidency then his other crimes to be totally honest. The Right Wing Kook leadership like Pat Robertson etc. are already condemning Trump and suggesting he faces the wrath of God if he continues.

The Kurds as freedom fighters have alot of respect and allies even if the US dicks them over time after time

This is really fucking bad and honestly Trump just handed the GOP a pretty rock solid reason to out him.

So beyond fucked. America has back stabbed the Kurds too many times to count now. You'd be nuts to trust this pile of stinking dog shit of a country ever again.
