Terror group ISIS will be wiped out TODAY by force backed by SAS

And Japan, plus a few other of the 700+ bases around the world. We could use this money to fix our country.

What's it been, ... 70 years?

Yep, and the locals want us out, but it’s resort service for a lot of military.

Obama is a realist, he realizes you will never totally defeat an ideology, but you can contain it.

If you kill the believers (ISIS) in a ideology of death and crucifixion of children, you can certainly limit the ideology and one day, perhaps, kill it.

Assad got what he wanted.. He reduced his population, got rid of 6 million Sunnis and will get his country rebuilt with other people's money.

Assad's country has been brought to the brink of ruination by outside forces intent upon illegal regime-change at the whim of Washington Zionists. Your claim of what Assad wanted is the pure bile of a frenetic loser.
Push off and dismember somebody.

No, not all want us out. I spent three years in Spain and they were very happy to have us there.

ridiculous.. you can kill ISIS on the battlefield -Obama understood that as well
( after he screwed up and did not hit the convoys)

The general in charge in Syria said ISIS is not defeated and there are 10,000 of them across Syria and Iraq.

that is an insurgency. same as it was before the caliphate. Those are not on an open battlefield

we are not only NOT pulling out, we are EXPANDING NATO "beefing up" existing forces and quite probably building a forward base in Poland.

But Putin is the expansionist!

Somehow, I don't think Russia will be invading Germany anytime too soon. Now, the SDF (Kurds) in Syria, that's another story.
How many troops in Germany? How many troops in Syria?

The new big fear is Russia invading Ukraine,
Ukraine just voted to join NATO -so technically the war in Donbass would require an Article 5 response.

The problem is Turkey is the main player for the Kurds. Bolton tried to get Erdogan to commit not to slaughter them
but Erdogan considers them "terrorists" in Turkey, and uses that excuse.

So it's not our call. Not much of anything is our call in Syria.
If you start with that base line there isn't much we can do but get out.

What do you mean? Splain it to me like I was in kindergarten.

That's bullshit, Erdogan won't attack the Kurds whilst there are NATO troops there.

Poroshenko runs for re-election in March.
