US presence in Syria was in violation of international law. CIA was arming radical islamists as a proxy army. I get why forever war neo cons are unhappy with the withdrawal but to hear it from leftists is breathtaking.

Willing to sell their souls for one news cycle to try and own Trump. Pitiful.

I don't think it was the fact of withdrawing troops... I think it has more to with how it was done.

     “Lindsey Graham would like to stay in the Middle East for the next thousand years with thousands of soldiers . . . fighting other people’s wars. I want to get out of the Middle East,” Mr Trump said.

“We were supposed to be in Syria for one month. That was 10 years ago and we’ve been a police force,” the president added.

 

Yet- he is deploying thousands of soldiers to Saudi Arabia... makes no sense unless he's lying.

The Atlantic:

"He’d have us believe that this is a campaign promise kept: an America First foreign policy that refuses to risk American blood or waste U.S. dollars in the Middle East.

“Now,” he claims, “we are slowly & carefully bringing our great soldiers & military home.”

But it isn’t so.

Take it from the Pentagon reporter at Fox News, who reports, “Since May, U.S. forces have increased in Middle East by ~14,000 ...

 

In another tweet, Trump declared, “The Endless Wars Must End!” To which a noninterventionist congressman, Justin Amash, retorted, “Then we’ll need a new president who will end them. President Trump has had nearly three years to end them and has done zero. He keeps sending more troops to the Middle East … He vetoed legislation that would have limited U.S. involvement in the Yemen war.”

yeah, he's lying. He always lies.

Which is what other liars like about him.

STILL WAITING FOR ALL THOSE FRAUDULENT VOTER LINKS

Eric Prince moved to the Middle East quite a few years ago.

Yeah, a real creep. Read his Wikipedia page.

Awful.

Or go one further and read the book (it's terrifyingly good).

The groundbreaking bestselling expose of the shadowy mercenary army that perpetrated horrific war crimes in America's name.

On September 16, 2007, machine gun fire erupted in Baghdad's Nisour Square, leaving seventeen Iraqi civilians dead, among them women and children. The shooting spree, labeled "Baghdad's Bloody Sunday," was neither the work of Iraqi insurgents nor U.S. soldiers. The shooters were private forces, subcontractors working for the secretive mercenary company, Blackwater Worldwide, led by Erik Prince

Award-winning journalist Jeremy Scahill takes us from the bloodied streets of Iraq to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans to the chambers of power in Washington, to reveal the frightening new face of the U.S. military machine, and what happens when you outsource war.

Turkey ‘effectively holding 50 US nuclear bombs hostage’ at air base amid Syria invasion

White House officials scrambling to retrieve weapons of mass destruction, reports say

An estimated 50 US nuclear bombs are effectively being held hostage in Turkey as Washington attempts to find a diplomatic way of responding to the country’s invasion of Syria, officials are reported to have warned.

The withdrawal of American troops from northern Syria – creating a power vacuum that has allowed Turkey and Russia to move into the region and displace Washington’s Kurdish allies – has caused international outcry.

And as even his supporters accuse the White House of betraying its allies, Donald Trump has been forced to escalate his opposition to Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, threatening to “destroy” his counterpart's economy and contract America’s alliance with Ankara.

However, the rapid pace of withdrawal and the tumultuous decline of relations between the two countries has left administration officials scrambling to find a plan for the nuclear weapons stored under American control at the shared Incirlik Air Base in south east Turkey, reports said.

nuclear rubber hitting the road. Been waiting for something this horrific.

"fallout" As the Trump stable genius makes all of his unplanned, gut instinct self benefiting, idiotic moves.

There's a history to American nuclear weapons in Turkey.

But... But.... Hunter Biden!

 

 

 

Like I said- Treating the office of the POTUS like a Side hustle.

 

Oh and expect Putin to make an appearance.... holy ****...

Mulvaney also said the administration will "continue to review" whether Russia should attend and would make the decision at a "later" date.

Trump brought up the idea of formally inviting Russia back into the G7 at the most recent summit in Biarritz, France, but other leaders rebuffed his suggestion. Leaders maintained that Russia should not be readmitted until it ends its annexation of Crimea in Ukraine.

Mulvaney said Trump has the authority to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend even if members of the G7 don't agree to invite Russia back as a full member.

If I'm a member, I'm upset. Means you can't access the course a couple of weeks while they prepare. 

I hear the same complaints from members of Winnipeg courses when big tourneys are held there. Only difference is that the course won't be torn up.

A grifter's gotta grift.
