The Great Betrayal

That's what made it fascinating. That and my obviously mistaken understanding that forum "staff" were required to be Christian. At any rate, my distaste for your apparent position applies regardless of your religious tendencies.

He's poeing all the time, dude. Chill.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

[Nithavela]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I'm discordianist. It would be against my religion to be faithfull.

If the Kurdish kids are the next generation of 9/11 terrorists, perhaps we should help Turkey with their Kurdish problem to protect American lives.

Be our ally or we will attack you in the future doesn’t sit well with me, perhaps there are those who embrace that way of thinking.

Making the Kurds an ally was our choice. We gave them our word we would help them. Instead we pulled out without giving them time to mobilize to hold Turkey soldier back, nor did Trump allow our own military time to formulate an exit plan, many who are attempting to get to safety so they can leave. It doesn't matter what you think, just look at history and it will tell you what's to come.

Obama sent the troops in for 30 days.... that was ten years ago. What should we do? And we are speaking of less than 100 troops.

We should let them stay, they're working. It gave the Kurds a strong sense of security with American soldiers there.

 

[TheGuide]

Hopefully, we can repair these relationships when Trump is out of office ...

Hopefully.

Honestly this is nothing new. It is why we are looked upon with such high esteem in the world.

That by far is the most delusional thing you've said here. That use to be true but it's not anymore, and this resent action in Syria sealed it.

The GOP made their bed when they crawled in with Trump. Now that the honeymoon is over and they can see what they did means little to me. They will be remembered for what they did.

At least that I agree with you on.

Naw, maybe top 10%.

 

[TheGuide]

You don't know that for sure, you should speak life with your words, not death.

I'm speaking Bible. I'm a positive person, but this is bad.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

At least that I agree with you on.

Clearly that was a momentary lapse of reason…

If you think the US has been the protector of Christians in Syria think again. Christians have suffered tremendously from this US sponsored regime change war.

Utter garbage. This line of threatening terrorism against America if America stops supporting X Y or Z armed group in Syria has been going on for years. It's an insidious tactic from pro war goons.

We gave them our word we would help them.

when does it end? Do we just leave them there forever?

100 troops to help keep the peace ... ???

 

[Aryeh Jay]

100 troops to help keep the peace ... ???

They were really, really, really, really, really good troops…

 

[A_Thinker]

They were really, really, really, really, really good troops…

It's reported that the Turkish forces would not cross into territory where Americans were stationed, likely because Turkey is a NATO ally.

My point was that it didn't take a lot to keep the Turks at bay ...

But in the end, everyone gets something. President Trump’s buildings and business dealings in Turkey are safe for the moment, the Turks get to kill an ethnic minority that they have wanted gone for a long time, and the Kurd's get to die at the hands of Turks.

"And whoa to those who give suck in those days,"

 

[cow451]

And, my apparent position may not be apparent.

Apparently not.
