Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I’m pretty much a micro economics guy. Provide a citizen with freedom, liberty and the rule of law and protection of property and let him figure it out. Throw in some safety nets which doesn’t include a pile of free sh*t like universal income. This simple formula helped build the strongest economy and the free people of America. I’m also a pretty much micro military guy. I want to know what is expected of an American soldier in Syria. Providing protection for the Kurds for eternity doesn’t seem to be worth the life of my American soldier. The neocons are happy to make some sort of statement about having American soldiers be targets while encumbering them with rules of engagement which generally mean taking the first bullet and having missions approved by lawyers in DC which vote for gun confiscation at the polls. The Kurds want their own Kurdish state. The Iraqi Kurds are happy with their defacto state in Iraq and don’t appear to be using their territory for attacks on Turkey.
That isn’t true with the Syrian Kurds. They have a close relationship with the Turkish Kurds and want Turkey to give up their territory to the Kurds. That isn’t going to happen. The Turks are involved in Syria for the same reason that we got involved Afghanistan. The territory was being used to attack the US and Syrian territory is supporting attacks on Turkey. If the Syrian Kurds want to be left alone, they could give it up with messing with Turkey. Ask any leftard or neocon supporter of the Kurds what the end game is? An independent and westernized Kurdish democracy in the ME? Yeah, right. So, having American kids killed to support some neocon fantasy for eternity doesn’t have my support.
If we have troops there, I want to know who and how many they need to kill so they can go home. If you aren’t prepared to tell me that then phu*ck off. We still have troops in Germany and South Korea. At least they aren’t there being killed on a regular basis under some lame ass rules of engagement. Seems like both Germany, being first world countries with a sufficient population base, could replace the US troops. But that’s another story.
It’s true that Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil. It’s also a moral sh*t hole. If we were building nukes and fracking on US federal lands and building LNG export facilities we wouldn’t need Saudi oil. A few more strikes from Iran on Aramco facilities and world oil prices go to $100+ a barrel which our lying leftard friends would blame on Trump. So, some US soldiers in Saudi Arabia, like soldiers in Germany don’t bother me as long as they aren’t taking bullets for nothing.

They obviously agree with everything said and really can’t refute it, so they just throw some shit and call it a day. Same as it ever is for was.
TIA
Otherwise, agree.
