Ignatius: WH Syria Move Is A Potential Tragedy | Morning Joe | MSNBC
This is a paycheck for Trump after he gets out of office. Simple as that. A true American would never abandon an Ally.
@sandy kitty you are still in that Russia collusion. It was debunked. A hoax. The Democrats want to overthrow the president in any way they can.
Its about time. Bring the soilders home. Trump administration is giving them 1 billion dollors in aid. Ukraine recieved weapons from America, and others countries. It is not illegal to sell your old tankers.
Why should American soldiers stay over there. End this war. The only one who benefits is the swamp. They don’t want their money flow to stop. Many of this reporters are part of the swamp.
@camjamsdad the Kurds were our allies in the fight against ISIS, which is also not a state. Turkey is run by a murderous dictator, or did you miss WHERE Mr Khashoggi was murdered? Or when Erdogan’s thugs best up people who were protesting him ON AMERICAN SOIL!
This president never met a dictator he didn’t like.
@Jerry Vida the “Russia thing” was NOT debunked, you imbecile! Its just that people like you are too lazy to read the Mueller report.
@Kia E gee, you know who else hated the gypsies? Hitler.
Trump is clearly leading….from the rear and from his rear.
@Fairy Tale Why is this weapon running and Mass Murdering ridiculous? Is it that Obama caused all this MASS MURDERING?
just imagine if FDR had called Churchill in 1942 & said, “as of tomorrow, I’m ordering all U.S. troops to stop fighting & leave Europe..”
@Wilson Just imagine another fictional situation with other people doing fictional things.. Yes lets live in your FANTASY world of what if’s.. Remember you have Obama to thank for this.
@CynAnne1 Yes the WashingtonPost is your “tripe”. Obama started this Syrian War and President Trump just got us out. Why are you Socialist WarMongers crying?
I wonder why trump is making this move? 🤑
@camjamsdad Even if there’s no reason for us to be there. you don’t take those troops out overnight like that. there’s a way to do it he never has a plan on anything. Hey flys by the seat of his pants. The US owes the Kurds, we promised we’d be there, and now we’re breaking our word. Yeah, our allies sure gonna trust us now.
@Fairness Equality right, let Turkey slaughter the best ally we had in the fight against ISIS. Who do you think will EVER want to help us again in the world.
Maybe educate yourself before you post so you dont look stupid. And heartless.
Yes Kurds separatist reminds me of Taliban in 80s we never learn the correct history
@Fairness Equality nuance is one of the casualties in these discussions. Yes, the Kurds are separatist, with good reason, but they are also our staunchest allies against ISIS.
Linda Scott not all Kurds are the one turkey wants to fight with ,those Kurds that you are talking about are mostly in Iraq ,there are Kurds in Iraq and Iran as well those Kurds have their own state independent in Iraq. And they are not fighting turkey
Please watch what Rand Paul says about this ,perfectly explained.
Trump is and always has been utterly unfit for office.
@Ver Coda Obvious to decent people, but not everyone sadly.
If you say so………..
The only requirement to run for president is.
You have to be over 32 years old.
Be a natural born citizen.
Trump doesn’t run the country by himself. The government is run like a corporation. Trump has advisors like any other president prior to him. He has the white house lawyers, advisers.
Under what rules or guidelines are you getting your information that Trump is not qualified as president.
There are only 2 requirements. Age 32 over, be a natural born citizen. Any body can run for president.
You do not have a clue on how the presidency branch works. . You repeat what the communist media who is owned by the swamp. Communist media is trash!
@Jerry Vida except he doesn’t listen to his advisers, its obvious he has never read the Constitution, his tweets are mindblowing for their craziness. Just because he met the very limited requirements for president doesn’t mean he knows how to do the job.
Let’s put a failed shady businessman into the toughest job on earth, what could go wrong? /s
Turkey is an emerging authoritarian Islamic state and we are allowing them to destroy a secular Kurdish people. Why should anyone trust us now.
Given trump’s propensity for corruption, it’ll be interestung to find out exactly what arrangement he came to with Turkey
@S. D. His supporters like Putin and the Russians. That is a + for them. Won’t do anything.
Zionist are in panic because ”trump want’s to pull out of a war” which the terror state israhell planned in the first place. Just wait and see first if Trump can achieve this. The last time he said were pulling out of Syria he got cancelled by pentagon and it’s zionist masters!!! The only option for the zionists is to plan a false flag attack in usa or europe or to put on there bin laden beards with there ypg allies and massacre women and children!!! Only this time Turkey is sending 1000 pounds bombs on your zionist, al qaida, ypg/pkk freedom fighters terrorists !!!!!!!
@Grey Wolf wasn’t long ago that they were all happy that war monger Bolton got fired. They called Bolton all kinds of stuff. Today they want us in the middle of a war with our Allies.
@Camjamsdad It wasn’t also that long ago that Lindsey Graham told the congres and military staff to abondon the terrorist ypg/pkk and work with 2e biggest nato allie, Turkey?? I think some people near Trump are getting paid to force him out of it. Here are the before ==>https://youtu.be/w-g8RVtYBM4 and after zionist influences==> https://youtu.be/e1fIEb-gUHc
Trump Tower Istanbul.
Merely a coincidence, I assure you.
(Second whistle blower announced)
Trump: Pull all the troops out of Syria! Turkey invade now! Go go go!
Exactly. 😞
There are already three whistle blowers, two for intervening with 2020 elections and one for Tax returns and fraud.
You’re right I know he would start A-war Soon everybody said he would To distract, and look what hes doing. Wow that M********er was predictable. He has really gone and open the door for ISIS and Russian now. thanks Donnie And all those Who are being complicit For him. Wow this is so against US interests. What a Deplorable move.
*Make America Great Again Impeach Donald J Trump and Mike Pence From Office*
And put in the communist Democrats Regime. No way…America is not going to be a communist country.
The communist party are on their way out of the American government. Not sure what happens to the communist Democrats party supporters.
Until then is is sadly Moscow Against Goofy America
Trump has shown eminence support for ISIS, he tried to make a new deal with Al-Qaeda just before 9/11. He sides with N. Korea, Saudis and The Kremlin, can you say traitor?
yup
This is just a distraction to get everyone off of the impeachment news.
its actually intended to distract you from his trade deal with japan… china next? liberals would cringe if that happened lol MAGA
The oft-promised ‘trade deal’…that #45 *just can’t seem to ever ‘close’* with, well…anyone. 😏
In fact, #45 just levied *higher tariffs* on whiskey *and* cheese… *just* in time *for* the holidays. 🙄
*’Genius’* , that guy is… 🤣
@Danny Ferrara https://www.fec.gov/updates/foreign-nationals/
@Virginia Moss All 45 has done is use the fascist handbook to hand us over to the dictators.
*Donald Trump is The WORST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY*
Here , here .agreed
@Sebelbub From ‘ the great wisdom’ of a draft dodger who can’t read or learn or think beyond the end of his cheeseburger? You should try thinking some more also.
And the DUMBEST
I can’t agree more. This guy is 1000x more worse than that moron George W. Bush! There is no doubt in my mind he will go down in history as THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!!!!!
It’s like leaving your buddies in the middle of a fight and running away!
I’m sure u.s. soldiers over there leaving have mixed feelings about this!
I’m sure them and their families are happy AF.
@camjamsdad no, I expect they are happy to come home but not happy to leave an ally to be slaughtered.
Are you really this heartless?
@Linda Scott Go and live among Islam. I did as an Engineer. Sharia Law is very strict if you come from the West. Women have to abide by customs that are difficult for American women to follow. President Trump is right for looking US People again.
@Linda Scott Sadly, tRump is a very cruel man.
So the Kurds played a major in helping us defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq, while fighting alongside our troops, and this is how Trump repays them, by throwing them to the wolves?? Absolutely disgraceful.
Zionist are in panic because ”trump want’s to pull out of a war” which the terror state israhell planned in the first place. Just wait and see first if Trump can achieve this. The last time he said were pulling out of Syria he got cancelled by pentagon and it’s zionist masters!!! The only option for the zionists is to plan a false flag attack in usa or europe or to put on there bin laden beards with there ypg allies and massacre women and children!!! Only this time Turkey is sending 1000 pounds bombs on your zionist, al qaida, ypg/pkk freedom fighters terrorists !!!!!!!
Hey stupid David j.Turkey is Americans best allies in middle east .Why you care about the terrorist Kurdish over there .they dont fight against daesh .they just wants Kurdish state. Iran. Iran.syria.and Turkey.use your brain man
@Patsy Sadowski this so called treachery happens all the time by the US.
The US took a chance and lost now they have to pull back.
The Kurds put there money on the US and lost. Now they have to pay.
@T Howl i don’t know in what fantasy world you live in but the US lost in this part of the world.
They where outmaneuvered by Russia and Iran and now they don’t have any choice but to pull back.
The greedy kurd have now also a choice. Side with Assad or get fuqed by the Turks.
Is anyone shocked by this??
The whole US foreign policy has been on a whim with dopey.
I for Am appalled by Hes a very this decision. It is definitely not in US interests. If he’s gonna pull Our soldiers out. there’s a way to do it. and that way is not overnight. Sad.
You think everything Trump says or does is a crime. Where do you get your information. The communist media. That is own by the swamp. Communist media is trash just like socialism =communist is trash.
@Lorna SinAmin washington does not matter how applaud you are. You do not have a loved one fighting in this wars That only benefit the swamp. Wars make money for the swamp. That’s why they have wars. The middle east people have being fighting for centuries. This wars can not be won. Many Democrats politicians have bussiness in Syria, Ukraine. ISIS is destroyed Russia wiped them out. America went and finished them off. Obama and Hillary created ISIS. So this terrorist bull was made so the swamp can make money.
A European defense alliance is starting to look like a really good idea.
EU has one already EUFOR and EUROCORPS, no one trust USA anymore.
Such a shame the UK is heading towards the US rather than Europe🙁🙁I know who I would trust and it’s not Dump
Germany , Italy and Finland should start building subs again , F the deal made after WW 2 .
@Carolyn Westlake There is not trust to be found in Dump.
Let God Help the World
Trump is and unregistered Foreign Agent to any Nation that might diminish his fears.
He Knows that He is Guilty!
Now he is a foreign agent. 😂😂😂😂 you are truly brainwashed by the communist media!!
Are you listening, GOP? This horror is on YOUR HEADS!!!
THEY DONT CARE ABOUT AMERICANS NO LESS THE SYRIANS.
@Linda Sandoval are you stammering that Trump is starting a war? Seems to me that IsIs is over so bring the troops home to their families. Quit wishing to start WWW3. America can’t fight a war with an ally.
Horror? Well I guess it is time for Halloween. Before you bunch up your panties let’s see what happens? It’s possible Turkey moves into the 35 mile zone and the Kurds live happily ever after. If Turkey does start slaughtering Kurds then you can wad your panties
The HORROR of what? Pull our troops out so they are no longer fodder in the globalist’s endless wars? I wish you libs would make up your minds. The only thing more numerous than your no more borders signs, are your no more war signs.
@Michael Smith and camkamsdad. Answer this. How many American troops were in combat as opposed to advisers, vs how many Kurds were in combat with ISIS, or are now directly containing them? How many American casualties vs how many Kurdish casualties?
You are just like sheep, bah bahing Trump’s tweets. Even Republicans are speaking up against this.
Before Trump “bombed” the Syrian airfield two years ago, he made a
phone call to Vladimir Putin. “Miraculously” all planes were removed
from that area overnight. As a result, the bombs did ZERO damage.
Coincidence??
Nope.
Erdogan: “We can help you stay in power if you let us invade Syria.”
Trump: “Deal.”
FUN FACT: Today is Putin’s birthday. This was his present to him.
Danny Ferrara …yes trump is corrupt is, thanks for acknowledging it.
Black Wolf No, this is again another try of Trump to let the attention move over to another disaster. But even more reason to impeach quickly, he is getting more irratic and insane. Don’t give the basterd any credit. This lover of tirants and cruel people😝
@princeoftidds never passing the senate the dems took too many L’s trying to make something stick on trump. not happening cry about it and then cry some more when he wins again. if dems were confident in 2020 they wouldnt be doing all this i promise you
@Danny Ferrara Whos doing what to who here
If GOTPers ‘were confident’, Danny…they *wouldn’t* be *cancelling primaries* all across America:

So… *who’s ‘running scared’, again* …? 🤨
