The Risk In Trump’s ‘Let Others Fight It Out’ Attitude On Syria | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Trump is too stupid to understand anything that happens in the middle east – nor, does he care! Trump cares about Trump, and nothing else!
88Gibson LesPaul why do you hate Russia??? You believe everything the media tells you about the big scary kremlin. Russia was actually invited into Syria by the Syrian government just like Iran was. The US illegally occupied Syria violating international laws. I hate Russia because they illegally invaded Ukraine. But at the end of the day Russia and Iran are the only countries fighting terrorism meanwhile America and its allies create them.
88Gibson LesPaul why do you want the Kurds to keep an alliance with the US when the US keeps aiding the FSA rebels who end up attacking the Kurds?
@SmokeSeshTV Why do YOU love Russia? Why do you believe everything RT tells you?
We shouldn’t even have to care what a man who has a two digit IQ, the vocabulary of a pet shop parrot, the attention span of a goldfish, and the morality of a comic book mob boss thinks about anything!
What does that suggest about all the folks who put him in power
@niesha patterson That they’re even more stupid than he is!
Not good ……………@niesha patterson
Great job Donny, so happy to see you and the republicans handing over all this to Russia….how many rubles did you get for all the blood to come from your lack of foresight?
I thought 2 years ago you were all against us being in Syria. I understand you all hate Russia for their interference in our election. Imagine how other countries felt when we interfered in theirs. The way you all talk about Russia I think you want to go to war with them over it. Just telling you we will win but not without devastation to us.
@Wicked 1323 But we WERE in Syria in the first place and our allies WERE also in Syria in the first place DEPENDING ON US to keep them from being massacred in the first place. There’s nothing you can say, no pro Putin-Trump lie you can tell to cover Trump’s a$$ on this on.
Besides, who the heck are YOU, a geopolitical ignoramus who knows nothing, to making grand statements about what Assad would “eventually” do? When is “eventually”? Do you read palms, tea leaves, coffee grounds in the bottom of the cup?
Trump has blood on his hands and YOU can’t wipe it off.
The difference between intelligent leadership and ignorant reaction-ship. Not to mention the inevitable loss of life.
Russia to Kurds, “We’d be happy to help But we need a favor, though.”
@SmokeSeshTV
Trying to paint Russia as an American ally is completely ludicrous.
And calling me names isn’t going to help you.
As for me personally being responsible for the mess in Syria is laughable.
The entire Middle East has been a complete disaster for thousands of years…
@Richard Darlington cant I tell this one is a bot dont play into their plan to divide us this mf typing from the Kremlin
@aepicminegoat 100
Don’t worry about me. I got this.
But, thank you for your concern.
@aepicminegoat 100
I just received another post from the bot in my inbox.
It seems the bot changed its mind and deleted it (I still have it).
Apparently, bots don’t like people who can think for themselves.
Peace!
Who is going to be the first person to point out the obvious – that Trump’s IQ is <50, and he's insane?
He is playing golf today. Does that give you any idea of his complete corruption and lack of concern about human life?
Come on Media? Trump pulls out of Syria to get out of the way but is sending Troops to Saudi Arabia…Clowns
Yes, the Congress must act in a bipartisan manner to place Magnitsky Act sanctions on the Russian oligarch Donald J. Trump. Immediately freeze all his US bank accounts and seize all his US property.
Part of the ‘ hand it all over to Putin plan ‘ .
Why was Donald J Trump sound the way he did just now. Sound like he was tried or maybe he is just too old.
The troops have been helping the kurds to also protect US the U.S. from ISIS! How stupid to think in any way this was a smart move.
Not to mention the fact these men would not be used to protect the US border whatsoever. It makes no sense to say we can’t protect our border so we are pulling back our troops in Syria.
This 50% tariffs on steel will do the trick, honestly. Wait for it 🙂
There’s not much to add here. I wouldn’t be suprised if Erdogan promised Trump something for handing over the Kurds. Didn’t they had a phone call? I mean this guy is selling you whatever you want. Just call him. This guy is in the process of selling out every pice of the United States if he has the opportunity to do so, and he will.
It’s official. 45 has decapitated the IC, DoD, State, Justice…etc When the crap hits the fan, I don’t want to hear from any of these fools who still follow him
I have no doubt Putin and Saudia has full control over that orange doof occupying our Whitehouse.
All this Death and Suffering because of the EGO of one senile old man who is Covered in the Blood of our Brave Allies.
Trump is Satan’s Minion.
He sounds all drugged out, prob coming down from his infamous uppers again, the old man slurs so badly. Not a fan !
The fake president only fights for himself.
Mr corruption has no soul and no heart i qustion if he have a brain. He is the ten man not human.
He could do a flyover and personally drop MAGA hats.
“Cereal, Syria”
The only flag waving is trumps red flag that everyone is hypnotized with , we gotta stay focused people !!!
