    Default Romney, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse ... "Unwise", "Betrayal", "Bad Decision".

    "Prominent lawmakers in both parties admonished the White House on Monday for its controversial decision to allow Turkey to invade northern Syria and potentially wipe out U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters, with Republican hawks and moderates joining with Democrats to blast the move."
    https://www.politico.com/news/2019/1...nvasion-037052

    "“This is a terribly unwise decision by the president to abandon our Kurdish allies, who have been our major partner in the fight against the lslamic State,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told POLITICO. Frequent Trump critic Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) also denounced the maneuver as “a betrayal” which communicates to allies abroad that the U.S. is an unreliable partner. And Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) warned the administration's “bad decision will likely result in the slaughter of allies who fought with us, including women and children.”"

    Why do you despise the USA?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It seems to me those who let thousands of brave Kurds die, then run away to hide under their beds, are the ones who need baby- or more likely dog- sitting

    The departure of US forces, and the concurrent loss of essential air cover they provided, will leave Damascus and Moscow with a gentle choice between striking a political deal with the Syrian Kurds, or just wearing them down with military pressure until they fall in the face of superior Russian firepower. cnn

    Hello Darth,

    Just like any baby sitting responsibility, until the responsibility is fulfilled.

    When was it ever written that Syria would be easy?

    With such dedication to allies as Trump is showing, we'd all be speaking German.

    where is it written we are responsible for anything in Syria except the mission to kill ISIS?

    Sit down and be quiet, America hating Iolo sock and we may continue to provide your pissy little country a nuclear umbrella.

    We know you hate America, we aren’t too fond of you either.

    I am a "Yank" (if you're referring to me being a North American).
    Still, that doesn't have anything to do with you not making any sense.
