US pulling out of North Syria

[_EAllusion]

Since that letter was sent, Trump has described the Kurdish forces as worse than ISIS, said they needed to be “ cleansed” of the area, and endorsed all of Turkey’s objectives while triumphantly surrendering to them.

We’re the baddies.

Yeah, check that endless wars bit. But we can do a net tally of how many wars he has ended and how many troops have come home if it will make a difference to ya.

Those troops were moved while the US committed almost 2000 more to Saudi Arabia.

Trump is proof of concept for why dictators should risk what Putin did more. If they aren’t severely punished for it, it will not be the last example.

How much ya wanna bet (if we could ever really know) that he did this to the Kurds as preplanned between him and old Vlad?

I don’t think that subs brought enough bullshite to this conversation to continue it.

From the link below:

“In late 2017, the DOD stopped reporting the number of U.S. military personnel deployed in support of operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria as part of its quarterly manpower reports and in other official releases. These data remain withheld.”

Hmm. I wonder why. ; )

Meanwhile, we are now committing to an almost 20% increase in personnel from the number for the last reported quarter in 2017, with the new Saudi deployment.

I have a hard time doubting it. As I said elsewhere: Putin has a lifetime supply of Trump blowjobs. This was the latest.

almost 20% increase in personnel

again, since you're carrying water for yet another poster..you at least curious about the tally of wars stopped and troops home?

Or are you still the type of poster that considers Jan Brewer rude and disrespectful while proclaiming Pelosi as a courageous woman? (see also finger wags at a President).
