    Wtf is the status quo in the Middle East? Pre Trump? Pre US intervention?

    I don’t know how anyone could even pretend to know what the status quo in the Middle East looks like, other than war and bloodshed.

    You're not really conversant in the facts of this situation, obviously. The status quo wasn’t getting civilians bombarded by a modern military.

    Poor Turkey. Now Daddy, in his infinite wisdom, is going to destroy their economy.
    Great and unmatched. Cmon we need to stay on Dear Leaders talking points.

    I’m not sure it’s actually any worse under Islam.

    It’s been jacked forever, probably will be jacked forever.

    Oh fuck. This explains so much.

    Acceptance of corruption, elitism within the ranks, no regard for economic realities.

    As one who thought it was a neat idea to make the Middle East safe for democracy I eventually came to the same conclusion

    Leaving our troops as targets is a stupid plan that the left used to agree with me on

    I took a tremendous amount of shit for backing the endless wars.

    Endless wars need to end.

    Our? defense spending is absurd. The country should have far better infrastructure and educational systems in place than we are currently (not) funding.

    Instead of being a dodgy prick just answer whether you think it’s good and smart to enable the slaughter of the Kurds by a fascistic country that flooded Syria with jihadis at the outset of the civil war and has a history of genocide. Is removing our handful of troops that were preventing this smart or not?

    I’m against our post 9/11 forever war and the ever expanding military industrial complex. But the Kurds are the good guys in the region who are fighting for secular democratic government and did the heavy lifting taking ISIS territory in Syria. Stationing a few hundred troops in Syria to prevent their slaughter by the Turkish army is a small price to pay.

    Turkey is in NATO

    We've fucked the Kurds for decades

    I'd kick Turkey out
  • SledogSledog Member Posts: 35,547 Standard Supporter
    I think the better question is why is NATO allowing this to happen? What fucking good are they?
  • HardlyClothedHardlyClothed Member Posts: 937
    Trump’s actions in Syria are not anti-NATO or anti-DC militarism groupthink. Trump piggies really are dense.
  • HardlyClothedHardlyClothed Member Posts: 937
    And yet you’re defending Trump and supporting the slaughter of the Kurds with voodoo logic that he’s somehow against the forever war.

    Fuck off

    You still haven’t answered whether you think Trump’s actions were correct. I won’t hold my breath.

    I did too

    I support his actions

    Bring everyone home. We aren't there to win. No more human targets

    There are all sorts of people getting fucked in the mid east including those fucked by your precious Iranian Mullahs

    You don't give a shit
  • HardlyClothedHardlyClothed Member Posts: 937
    Is it good we’re fucking over the Kurds or not? Take a position. All you’ve offered is “we’ve fucked over the kurds for decades”. Does that make enabling their slaughter Ok? Yes or no.

    How many times do you want the same answer?
