Turkish Troops Move Toward Syria As Airstrikes And Military Actions Begin | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
But…but…Trump told me he would stop the Turks….
@Real Talk76 😂😂😂😂
He can’t stop Turkey pal. Noone can. 👊
Trump doesn’t take his orders from you. he takes his orders from Putin
@Ali Delon There are no terrorists at the border except the Turks themselves. Stop being that delusional and lying. That’s insidious and embarrassing.
This is awful…
We told you, we are coming soon
@Casey Mattison bless 🙏
The world will never trust US ever again. The damage has already been done. It will be years maybe.
Why you talking about Trump, when it’s literally the Turks who commit the crimes with their own hands and ultra nationalism
@Kadri Patre siktir lan oradan,
Hope The Giant Orange Mongoloid drops dead… today.
Eagle Of Anatolia lol your military is advanced compared to Syria. Don’t get too big for your britches. We wouldn’t need a nuke to deal with Turkey if it came to that. We would shut down your Air Force before they started their engines.
Casey Mattison you got some orange on your lips
You mean Caucasoid ? lmfao
@Casey Mattison trump’s family is an inbred clusterfuck, eric’s inability to grasp common things proves it.
This is Trumps fault we should have never abandoned them
@jim bob Emoluments clause, campaign finance violations, conspiring with foreign leadersnations to get involved in domestic elections for starters.
There is the 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice outlined in the Mueller Report, where Mueller confirmed that the only reason Trump wasn’t indicted, was due to a DOJ memo on not indicting a sitting President. On the July 24th under oath senate hearing, Mueller confirmed twice that Trump can and likely will be indicted for the Obstruction of Justice the moment he’s out of office.
Then there is the public court filings regarding campaign finance violations, where Trump is listed as an unindicted co-cospirator, in the same court case that his attorney, Michael Cohen, is currently serving a 3 year prison sentence for following Trump’s orders. It mentioned in that public court filing, that they can’t charge Individual One while in office.
The question isn’t about what crimes and impeachable offenses Trump has committed, I think he’s about covered all of them already. The thing we need to be concerned with, is stopping his corruption before he causes any more harm to our country and or allies.
Apologies, I know you only asked for one example, but those were the few right off the top of my mind. If you like, I can do a bit more research and provide you with a bullet point list and links citing the details, if you will honestly research for yourself.
@jim bob A over simplified way of putting it, Trump has committed every article Impeachment that was raised against Nixon back in 73, including the contempt of congress via resisting the Impeachment process and refusing to comply…..and then some.
I don’t see Trump resigning though, he will have to be dragged out of the White House. Which is becoming a strong possibility with each passing day. We are already at a 58% approval rating for Impeaching and removing from office. This is 20%+ higher than the level of public support we had during both Nixon’s and Clinton’s Impeachment hearings.
@Craig Bigelow Weak, very weak.
@Jeremy Backup right-wing scum don’t care about that. Pretty soon they’ll start saying “yeah he does meet every qualification for impeachment but who cares?”
One day they’ll ask..Where were you when the US started abandoning their allies?
Answer:
I was a Republican trying to keep my Senate seat instead of supporting the Constitution. I thought we’d be OK?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMMANDER BONESPURS IS LEFT ALONE ON THE PHONE WITH 🌎 DICTATORS!! WE ALREADY SEEN WHAT HE’LL DO WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE ROOM TRYIN’ TO BABYSIT HIM=HE’LL HOLD THEM FINANCIALLY HOSTAGE UNLESS THEY HELP HIM WITH HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS, THAT’S WHAT!!💯😈🆗🇺🇸✌😎
@Viviana white I was thinking, please somebody fly in and help them..if only..but I don’t see that happening..
Trump every drop of blood is on you. Abandon allies fighting alonside our own. Great exit strategy….genocide
@foreigner fan Not surprised that went over your head “kid”. Canada must be so proud.
Not every drop; GOP have facilitated this egotistical moron so they share the shame and tarnish too.
@foreigner fan Syria is NOT an enemy of the U.S. The U.S is the enemy of the planet and do things to protect their petrodollar. Talk about fake news. You dont know crap. Its only the U.S that threaten every small nation that cant defend themselves, destroy their countries, economy, culture, steal all their resources and provide trillions of dollars to multinationals in construction and redevelopment and leave millions of orphans and refugees seek other nations to live because the U.S love to destroy everything and anything for its own political gain. Lets see the U.S threaten Russia or China with war and see how long the U.S last.
Kathy Wolf Words can’t express the deep feeling I have for you in my heart on the loss of your son. Peace to you, sister.
@Jule S
Thank you…I hope I find that peace. Your comment means alot to me.
Now Trump can add mass murder to treason, extortion, money laundering and tax evasion.
America used Kurdish terrorist group to fight another terrorist group, just like how they used Mujahideen extremists (who later created Taliban) against USSR, just like how they used wahhabi/salafi terrorist groups in Syria against Assad.
So having US troops training Kurds to fight and die is not mass murder?
Now we get to remove Americans from the equation and we get to pull out of another country from which we don’t belong in.
Michael Schwartz – go to Puerto Rico and tell me how many American flags you see.
Don’t forget obstruction.
Pretty much like every president before him and ahead. Welcome to politics.
That didn’t take much time!
trump’s just giving it away to putin!
@shin chan that was an inside job. Gained the government more unchecked power and funding, than any other event in history.
@I B oil
@Younan Younan not another ignorant Trump supported go do your homework before you post stupid posts
You what oil ? Syrian has oil but nothing major. Besides that oil isn’t trumps to give to Putin .
Coward bone spurs isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand.
@Cool Beans Lmfao I’m doing literally nothing you’re claiming I do.
Maybe address yourself and all of your personal faults.
@Cool Beans I didn’t defend anyone, I just stated the fact that Donald Trump is a coward. Don’t put words in my mouth.
Trump has Blood on his small tiny Hands 🙁
The people killing have blood on their hands..
Abandoning the people who fought with the US, then allowing them to be slaughtered?
Outrageous..
@Casey Mattison Its a comment section.
I’ve never seen anyone so stupid that they’re actually baffled by comments in a section of the webpage called “comments.”
_”Why does everyone keep writing comments here?! I don’t understand! I’m woefully unintelligent someone please help!”_
Wp. long live usa and Russia.
@Emmueye MUI History predicts that Turkey won’t stop at clearing just the border, 3 miles deep then 20 miles deep then 60…
Well to be fair, lots of US presidents have done that, about once a decade… like the fall of saigon or the various retreats from Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan.
It MIGHT Be that it’s mostly Rep presidents, cause they tend to be slightly more hawkish and interventionist, but the dems aren’t angels in this regards either.
US military strategy has a lot of a three year old toddler, getting quickly bored with his toys and leaving them alone once something new catches its eyes.
@Emmueye MUI What are you talking about u liar? Can’t u even differentiate between the Pkk and the Ypg.
There are no terrorists at the border except the Turks themselves.
Everything Trump touches… Dies.
@Washington Strong arm If only your mind were as strong. Just another reason for people around the world to hate us. Exactly what Putin wants. Let’s hear what trump said to Putin on his top secret phone call. “I don’t care if you meddle” just keep the loans coming.
@Phillip Asher worng ! Everybody in the world hate crazy delusional lefties😲
@Phillip Asher phillip Its all about money and control that why Turkey in going south,.. but yes I earn my retirement and money, its was called working for a living. I NEVER WAS BORN INTO MONEY I EARNED IT,… ITS CALLED HARD WORKING. As to my,… me,. spelling and in checking my i,s a crossings my t,s,.. well trumpism can make many today so mad that they can only check other posting,… make them Look better then others in thier own mind,…..its great that trump going to win again in 2020, right,….
Jeff Zabelski yet Eric is still around.
Interesting timing, this gives relief to the whistleblower news coverage.
Disposing the kurds, actual lives.
Democrat voters are being led off a cliff. This is war mongering propaganda. The footage is of cars driving and they’re saying Turkey is starting war with Syrians? BE SKEPTICAL FOLKS. Trump has been threatening Erdagon if he missteps.
As I’ve posted before, another case of the “tail wagging the dog” perfect example, right here!
@Bilbo Baggins Stop talking bullisit. Turks are a disgrace to humanity. Factual liars and hypocrites. There are no terrorists at the border except the Turks themselves.
It was Putin’s birthday October 7 this is trumps gift to him.
@hugh jorgan ISIS isnt gone. It will never be. This is a job men and women willingly sign up for, knowing the life they will live may be in a battlefield, that’s what happens when you sign up for the military. Becoming president, and pulling troops out of a country to make a foreign leader happy because you’re scared you may lose your properties in that country is wrong. Troops should be in Syria and keep everything tame for as long as possible.
Doing PUTIN’S work to take down AMERICA.
America used Kurdish terrorist group to fight another terrorist group, just like how they used Mujahideen extremists (who later created Taliban) against USSR, just like how they used wahhabi/salafi terrorist groups in Syria against Assad.
Most embarrassing, pathetic action I have ever seen. When in God’s name will someone put Trump in Jail???
😈 protects the evil tramp 😭
He’s so evil that he doesn’t want to send US troops to die!!!!
Neostead 2000 I know right? He’s so evil he completely saves his armed forces!
So is Trump going to “destroy the Turkish economy?” No he wants to hand his buddy Putin another win.
Why would he do that? Trump has two hotels in Istanbul.
Empty w0rds from a little man tucked in safe and sound
@Kimberly Lund HE AIN’T DISTRACTING AMERICA FROM THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN TALKIN’ ABOUT IT ALL DAY ON CNN/MSNBC, I HAVE REAL CABLESATELLITE 📺 T.V. SO I SHOULD KNOW BUT IT’S KINDA HARD TO 👀 SEE THAT FROM A 3-10 MINUTE YOUTUBE FROM A 1-2 HOUR NEWS SHOW & BESIDES THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER PAUSED BECAUSE OF A WAR & IF THAT WUZ SO WE WOULD STILL BE STUCK ON PAUSE WATCHIN’ THE IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN WARS STILL GOING ON A’IGHT!! BESIDES THAT WE’RE STILL TECHNICALLY AT WAR WITH NORTH KOREA TOO=OOOPS!!🆗✌😂😂😂
THEY’RE REPORTING ON MSNBC RIGHT NOW THAT BESIDES THE TRUMP TOWER’S IN KABUL, TURKEY TRUMP & FAMILY ALSO HAVE 119 OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS IN TURKEY BUT MAYBE HIM & ERDOGAN CAN DISCUSS BUSINESS & HOW THE WAR IS GOING TOO SINCE HE’S ALREADY INVITED HIM TO D.C NEXT MONTH!!🆗✌😂😂😂
Russians are white. No more brother wars. Wp
TRUMPs actions is nothing but shamless and a enormous betrayal!!!
Remember, “Clear out the area”, she is talking about people dying!
THEY ARE NOT KURDS,What this press or others do not tell you that 15 million Kurds lives inside Turkey, many Kurds are in Turkish Congress and holding Ministry positions , PKK and YPG do not represent the Kurds, they are armed by foreign entities hostile to Turkey and they are designated terrorist organization by US and EU and Turkey, They have killed 40,000 civilians in 41 years, out of 4 million Syrian refugees in Turkey 460,000 of them are Syrian and Iraqi Kurds living in tents, YPG and PKK are cleansing the northern Syria from other ethnic groups to make it all for them, that is not acceptable to anyone, not only the Turks. Turks can not have 900 miles of southern borders crawling with terrorist organization who in the past blown bombs inside Turkey and these refugees has to be settled back inside Syria or they can go to Europe, for 8 years now ,Turks spent $40 billion housing, feeding, educating these unlucky people, instead of condemning Turks we should praised them, to host all these poor people for 8 years whom run away from western instigated war, lets be fair on this , Turks 2017 went in north west Syria and opened a safe zone around Afrin,, since than 430,000 Syrians went back and still living in peace there. last time US supported one terror organization against the other was in Afghanistan his name and group was Osama Bin Laden and friends, we all know how that turned out for US don’t we?and lets not forget Turkey is a Nato ally since 1952 and have the second largest military, lets not confuse the friend from a foe, these are NOT KURDS
Trump: “they won’t do it ‘cause I’ll destroy their economy”
Turkey: launches air strikes
