Donald Trump’s efforts to cut deal’s with Russian President Putin will help Syrian President Assad who has beat American and Western efforts to remove him from power after he put a civil war in his country.
Trump’s deal with Turkey will also free ISIS assets into the Middle East and help Iran gain influence in the region….
Trump has single handily reversed years of American and Foreign Policy but extracting himself from Syria, something he pledged to do…
One hopes that we in America are not put in the crosshairs of foreign terrorist’s….
This IS a sad day for those American military men and women who went in harms way to fight with the Kurds….
The Kurds have cut a deal with Syria, which is backed by Russia and Iran to provide their troops against the Turks in the Syrian North….
By the time Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to announce that President Trump had ordered the final withdrawal of the 1,000 U.S. troops in northeastern Syria, it was already clear that the U.S. presence had become unsustainable, U.S. officials said.
The announcement by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) that they had reached an agreement with the Iranian- and Russian-backed government of President Bashar al-Assad further undermined the prospect of any continued U.S. presence in the country. The deal will bring forces loyal to Assad back into towns and cities that have been under Kurdish control for seven years…..
Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer
President @realDonaldTrump
’s betrayal of the Kurds has given 3 dictators—Putin, Assad, and Erdogan—a free hand to expand their dark shadow over Syria.
It’s bad for America and for our partners the Kurds.
Why is he kowtowing to dictators?
One begins to wonder if Trump is just blitheringly incompetent, blinded by his own vanity, ignorance and impulsiveness, or whether he really is some pawn or patsy for the likes of V. Putin.
Serge Lavrov could find few more congenial American administrations than this one.
Simple explanation?
He operates in a Alternate Universe….
Shielded from reality by his money and now the ‘bubble’ of the American Presidency…
if anyone else besides a President of America?
He’d have be charged with crimes several times….
But American does NOT fire it’s President’s…
So this whole shit show continues …
God Bless America and the Workd we live in today….
Please….
Dave,
Otr perhaps Trump made a deal with Turkey – in which Trump got something he wanted, but which he hasn’t disclosed to us.
It is hard to argue that this deal was in the US interests.
But, Zreebs, are you implying that there’s somehow some distinction between the national interest and that of the President of the day?
What’s good for the country is good for Donald Trump.
What’s good for Donald Trump is good for the country.
Q,E,D.
Make Trumpland Great Again !!
Actually, I have seen some reports that DJT wants to build or license something in Turkey.
Republicans are now coming around to abandoning the Kurds for Trump Tower Istanbul. What a waste of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt’s party.
All the more reason you should donate to my soon to be unveiled PAC.
And what candidates will this PAC support?
In case I ever run for Dog Catcher again.
What about a Presidential candidate?
I’ve encouraged you to donate to Joe Walsh so he can keep saying nasty but accurate things about Trump for as long as possible.
(Yes your eventual nominee will be able to quote him. Walsh will want them to do so.)
Considering his party is cancelling primaries and won’t hold debates what would any donations to Walsh’s campaign pay for? He can Tweet anti Trump stuff for free.
I’m gonna chime in here with an observation….
My view….
The hardcoreTrump people that have bent like a pretzel WILL have day, week, month of reckoning when Trump leaves the stage…
But i would think most of the GOPer’s will be fine….
They’ll miss their crazy asset leader , but they will able to reminisce about the good ole days when Trump fucked up and the Democrats could do virtually nothing but run to the courts…
They WILL be happy with several things though…
The rich paying less taxes…
More conservative judges…
Less immigrants ….
Trump screwing the FBI, CIA
Trump giving other countries the finger
Trump NOT caring or helping minorities
And More….
A lot of us may look at Donald Trump as an inept failure….
But…
His supporters see him as the second coming…
Imperfect…
But?
Their Guy!
The Grand Ole Party WILL still be there
As any entity ?
It will do whatever to survive
And that will get it past Donald Trump
a bit wounded
But with the above going THEIR WAY due to a guy NO ONE thought could win and a guy JUST out for HIMSELF …..
Amusing.
You like st all the things Trump has done consistent with basic Republican philosophy.
Then after making the case that Trump has as President governed as a Republican you incongruously declare that he is “just out for himself.”
Contrary to this mishmash of silly drivel about the ”Grand Old Party,” for whom you often express sympathy,Trump has shown himself to be the quintessential Republican President intent in enacting the Republican agenda.
Of course readers here are used to such inane comments from you.
I think perhaps flying a drone over Mar-A-Lago.
Would NOT be a wise idea…
If you do run for Dog Catcher again, Corey(not an ignoble ambition, since ex-Pres. John Tyler once had essentially the same job after he left the Executive Mansion), you’d be sure to be primaried by some MAGA, who’d call an Enemy of Dogs, Cats and Mankind, and then mocked by the President on his next trip to Chicagoland.
Last time, I was opposed by the Cook County Dog Machine.
This time, I could rally support among a Never Trump canine coalition that includes Chihuahuas, Irish Setters, Portuguese Water Dogs, French Bulldogs, Pekinese, and which ever breed is most popular these days with the gays.
I can imagine them upsetting the serenity of the Westminster Kennel Club’s annual dog show, with loud barks, piercing whines and frantic running around as a huge “¡¡ Gross for Inhuman Rights!!/¡¡Gross para los Derechos Inhumanos!!” banner magically appears.
Sen. Romney would not be allowed to bring his station wagon.
If you are running for dog catcher, what is your plan for James? Inquiring minds want to know.
Ha, ha, ha🙄
That’s New York’s problem.
