seizure of Kobani by forces loyal to Assad (battlefield update)

Can you ' seize ' that which is already yours ?

[Minister of Truth]

dude. the whole Russian thing is soo passe' ..

Ukraine is the current hoax. for the record I don't want us dealing with Ukraine for anything-
it leads to NATO expansion and getting sucked into their war

I meant I was calling you a Russian before the hoax was even devised.

in a warzone? -most definately

whatever.
I practice realpolitik and geopolitical powers analysis..
if looking at Russia as it is, instead of thru Russiaphobic hysteria makes me a "Russian"- OK dude.whatever

[Bill]

I got an idea.
We send in several battalions (you know, Shock and Awe) into Syria to protect the Kurds from the Turks while driving out the Russians who've been an ally of Assad forever, and we get rid of Assad establishing a democracy with Kurds in control as their reward for helping us defeat ISIS.
Then that part of the region will finally be stabilized.
Yeah, that's it.

It's not funny if you consider that's scary close to what dims actually want only because Trump doesn't want that.

Yea, libs like linsey graham want that.....

Yea, libs like linsey graham want that.....

Graham went reflexively into full combat mode and immediately call for beefing up NATO .
~~
After he calmed down he said the Kurd have to depend on us- or if they don't- they'll have to
depend on da Russians or even the evil Iranians

Syria is too important a hill to occupy unless it's done by the US -and not them damn Russians ( client state)

He's always been a McCainite/Hillary Clintonista war pig. Nothing new there. What's new are so called prog/socialists siding with the neocons as to war. It's a symptom of TDS.

It limps, grammatically- but not worth pursuing.

You can make up whatever makes you feel better about betraying the kurds by your orange god........... no one else but you is buying that bull shit..

Mere phony ass excuses to defend his betrayal of an ally, if not for whom US boots would have been needed, as the fuckin turks allowed tens, if not 100's of thousands to flow in & join battle against civilization, & now YOU want to give the turks free rein to slaughter them..............

No siding w/ war=BULL SHIT!!!! having 100 American personal there isn't war, & you know it..... They were enough to prevent the turk genocide.

Ya'll want 100 ppl out & are silent about the troops all over the world...............

OK I won't be silent. No troops anywhere. I'm an isolationist.

[Bill]

OK I won't be silent. No troops anywhere. I'm an isolationist.

OK, would agree as well, but not just out right abandoning allies, especially when it required so very, very little..

Reagan brought the Hmong & other southeast Asians in when they were under threat from Lao & Viet retaliation for supporting the US after our loss to the Communist in Vietnam..

Now why would anyone help or support the USA when you will be tossed out like a used tissue in the end...........
