    1. @Xenosophia Agree, no doubt he is the puppet of the very right wing kook dictators he has chosen to align with. That being said one would think his handlers would not force his hand so abruptly. I would think at the very least his handlers would make it appear he had put some thought into drawing down troops responsibly, if for no other reason than to make it not appear so obvious he is doing Turkey and Russia’s biding. Your point is well taken.

    2. Trump is taking ‘revenge’ on everyone and everything that has ever hurt his fragile ego in his entire pathetic life. He’s also the product of generations of inbreeding, just look at the Amish, you can see the physical and mental disablities from their faces. Together with permanent inbreeding it causes a lower IQ and a much higher chance at personality disorders. Look at Trump’s eyes and then at people with Down syndrom. Most evangelicals have the same problem, they can’t help to be so stupid they donate all their money to some insane, hypocrite tv preacher who then spends it on a luxury life. I do hope you get Trump out of the White House because another 4 years will definitely be the end of the US. You all need to vote blue no matter who ends up as candidate, even if it were Hillary I still thgink it’s better than draft dodging Donny.

    3. No, we won’t get killed. But this kind of pay-play (he’s now reallocating 2,000 of those US troops to Washington Post Jamal Kashoggi’s murderer’s private oil plantation in Saudi Arabia, the nation whose murderous prince had “invested” hundreds of millions in Trump & Associates private businesses)… this kind of blatant pay-play will make sure that the NEXT TIME America faces a potentially deadly situation around the world, there would be VERY FEW people who would come to help us, even if Trump in impeached & removed from office. People take betrayals seriously, especially on the national levels involving millions of people.

    4. @Xenosophia Through these Turkish attacks thousands of former ISIS fighters will gain their freedom again, since they were being guarded by the Kurds.

      Putin wins, because this will further destabilise Europe.

      Erdogan wins, because he can annihilate the Kurdish ‘terrorists’ (read: women and children).
      Trump wins, because he is the God-Emperor of America, and always wins. And he gets a cookie from Putin. That’s nice.

    1. @eurekajim #VoteBlue2020 Incorrect. Bernie got more votes, but the Dems gave the nomination to Hillary anyway. Totally rigged. In fact, on video, you can see the delegate from West Virginia nominating Hillary at the 2016 convention and meanwhile, a staff worker is standing right behind the delegate, holding up a small sign that said “All 57 counties voted for Bernie.” And that’s just one example of how Bernie got torpedoed by the Dems. Listen, if you people want to keep voting for more of the same corruption, then go right ahead — vote against your best interests. But progressives WILL NOT vote for corporate-sponsored candidates. No way — no how.

    2. Imagine when war in the middle east is never ending and there’s nothing any of us common folk can do to stop it…

    3. @Tessmage Tessera Why don’t you just skip the middleman and vote for Bonespurs next time, Boris.

  1. Our allies won’t trust American leadership for years because of Trump, which threatens our nations security. For this reason alone he must be removed from office ASAP.

    1. @Elven Ranger Exactly. I really hate these vague all-sweeping comments that don’t really say anything… like “all politicians are corrupt liars”. They don’t all lie to the same degree or about the same things and they’re NOT all corrupt to the same degree. This is a perfect example of a false equivalency brought on by ignorance and intellectual laziness.

  2. I wonder how much money trump made off this move I am sure trump has made something out of it and I bet he would not say a word if our troops were killed by turkey

    1. He owns two Trump Towers in Istanbul. No doubt all his decisions and discussions with Erdogan regarding Turkey put his own business/property interests first to the detriment of all and everyone else.

  3. But last night in his Ralley in Minneapolis trump said they’re are no troops left in Syria, none. he said. if you don’t believe me check out his speach from last night. Hes nothing but a liar. now our troops are in harm’s way. He told them to stand down but, he didn’t send one order on paper over there. for the troops to be to come back home. you can’t tell the troops to leave, over a Twitter Tweet! Trump . you need orders Through the proper channels. But I guess bone spurs donnie wouldn’t know that. and he fired all the people who do Know.. And the people that’s left are afraid to tell him. Hes a danger to our soldiers. watch, Our soldiers gonna get killed Over there in Syria. and their blood is gonna be on his hands. Smh! This is serious floks. His supporters need to wake up fast our soldiers lives are at stake.

    1. Jock Young yeah well they were promised that they wouldn’t betray them again if the Kurds helped you guys again
      Americas word is worthless

    2. @Sorbet Elf
      Trump’s word is worthless. Yes, that reflects badly on America, but it is a minority that support him.

  4. Trump’s speech last night is on a app called twitch. I’m a veteran but it doesn’t take a Veteran to understand what’s going on. Go see it for yourselfs. he said NO Soldiers are in Syria now. That is a blatant lie.! Doesn’t he understand he can’t get the troops out of Syria with a tweet! Now they’ve been told to stand down, Except to protect themselves. but problem is there’s only a 1000 troops over there. now that Turkey has overran the border, how can a 1000 Troops protect themselves. and now they’re being shot at. Trump YOU
    are going to get our SOLDIERS KILLED! Somebody stop him now!
    #replaceTrumpNow

  5. Im an army veteran to watch the Kurds who helped us in the Iraq and fighting ISIS is just disgusting… trump could have said our troops are not moving and GOD help you if one of them gets so much as a scratch! This is a betrayal that will undermine the character of our nation!

  6. Turkey was responsible for the Armenian Genocide. Now Kurdish Genocide enabled by Trump. Must get rid of Trump then push back Turkey.

  7. The freaking stable genius with the unmatched mind is a clear and present danger to America and the world. 🤬
