    Default Trump hands the Kurds to Turkey. Beware, GOP lackeys: He’ll abandon you too

    Republican lawmakers who dutifully excuse each and every one of President Donald Trump’s whack-a-doodle decisions, tweets or out-loud admissions of wrongdoing should pay attention to what the man just did to the Syrian Kurds.

    Trump supporters who’ve bought into the cult of personality and sunk hard-earned money into “Make America Great Again” swag and campaign donations should pay attention as well.

    What Trump just did to the Syrian Kurds he will do to all of you as well.

    Trump has a double Trump Tower in Turkey. That, of course, does not factor in this high minded respecter of laws and institutions. It is just another in the long line of coincidences that befall Trump's actions.

    We attacked Iraq throwing the ME into chaos, but not our problem? The Kurds fought and died with us against ISIS.

    The Middle East was in chaos LONG before we invaded Iraq.

    Not true. Saddam was loved by nobody but acted as a buffer and a common enemy. The ME was relatively stable. Saddam had been pushed into a defensive position and h was quiet. Then Bush attacked creating a power vacuum that many local lords wished to fill. It was a particularly quiet time.
    Whether it was or not, Bush had no right to invade and he made a huge mess. This is Bush's/righty/neocon creation.

    What a sociopathic response. OMG...even the American troops STILL there were literally in tears watching the people they have been fighting side by side with to defeat ISIS being attacked because the freak of nature with the bad combover has business interests in Turkey. Trump sacrificed the lives of allies for real estate.

    Saudi is not part of NATO and not an ally. Saudi gave us fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers. Saudis butchered a green card carrying journalist alive. Again...Trump business interests, not to mention what was likely a very sweet bailout for Jared Kushner and his 666 Fifth Avenue debacle.

    And WTF is an ordinance deal??? Some crap that was yanked out of Trump's huge ass?

    The U.S. is not obliged to come to Saudi Arabia’s defense. No matter who was responsible for the attack on their oil installation, the U.S. has no business responding with military action. Saudi Arabia is not an ally in any sense of the word. We have no mutual defense treaty with them, and we are not required to come to their aid when they are attacked. In all likelihood, this attack was the result of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing aggression against Yemen, but even if it wasn’t there is no American commitment to fight on their behalf.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    He is betraying people who died for a shared cause, because he can't be bothered to read anything and respects only murderous dictators. Deal with it!

    2000 soldiers sent to SA. That is brand spanking new. Not just the equipment.

    Leaving the Kurds to be slaughtered will end up with an ISIS resurgence. Perhaps Daffy figured he can squeak through the election before it happens.
    Fortify? How? We have spent more than the next 10 nations combined on the military and have been for decades. We spend way too much on the military.

    Insult Fallacy. You are also calling yourself 'childish', according to YOUR OWN criteria.
