    1. he just stopped supporting PKK (a terrorist organization) against Nato’s second biggest army.. what is the wrong with you?

    1. @jamescreys maybe we should issue American history coloring books for idiots like yourself. You seem so proud of your ignorance, you are truly pathetic. You should be on your knees thanking Obama for bringing white unemployment to a record low. Be best snowflake

    2. @Ivanka speads for Quincy Jones lol ….Try to spin your nick name ….
      That’s funny ……Obama went into Lybia toppled Gaddafi that created the vacuum then drew a red line and pussed out ….He left the middle east on 🔥

    1. @D Rae I think Russian hoax is a scam to smear progressives and anti war people.
      It was used here in Ohio to smear Dennis kucinich. It’s frequently used on Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard anyone that opposes war or the policies of the corrupt Democratic Leadership

  1. First view? Gotta love that the ‘commander’ in chief is still a coward 50 years post-Vietnam. Leading to many deaths of our allies…

    1. Con-Man in Chief is ,I belive ,a more appropriate title.
      It’s just a matter of time, and he will be selling our F22 Raptors to the Saudis.

    2. Obama inherited 2 wars. By the time he was finished, Obama was bombing at least 7 countries.
      The kurds are terrorists, they are not our allies.

  2. And all this from one “perfect” call. This blood is on Republican’s hands. They allowed this little man be blackmailed by foreign powers.

    Notice I use no names and yet you all understand who I’m speaking of. Now tell me you don’t doubt our leader.

    1. @Mournstar Those talks have ended long ago. Turkey has been denied bc it doesn’t meet the requirements to be able to join and the situation became worse over the last 10 years. We made a deal with Turkey to not allow the Syrians into Europe. That’s why the EU is not to keen about putting sanctions on Turkey. Multiple countries helped to keep Syrians out of Turkey and with bombarding ISIS targets.
      No the EU is capitalist corruption. They get paid way too much money, are slow and ineffective. Just look at the whole Brexit debacle. They try to keep refugees out of the EU but some people coming from Africa through the Mediterranean sea are willing to drown rather than go back and Greenpeace is helping them by boat but don’t return them to Africa but bring them to Italy. Every country is pretty much trying to send people back but there are too many slipping through the cracks.
      What can the UN do? NK, SA, Venezuala, etc are part of the UN. I don’t think you know what the UN actually does. There are 193 countries in the UN. They won’t agree on many things.

    2. @JamieLan2011 I read quite often about the Syrian Civil War, Rojava, and counterinsurgency. I check up on the situation with liveuamap.com which shows events and changes in the conflict in Syria. Maybe if you weren’t such a smartass you’d at least try to understand the other perspective, not just what is fed to you by MSNBC.

    3. @Gwen Walravens First the EU is NOT capitalist. It appoints it’s leaders and takes it’s money form it’s members without those counties peoples voting for it. They also force “laws” on those countries the same way. Making it SOCIALIST corruption…. You just made a good point on why NO ONE should ever pay the UN or be member. The UN is corrupt and allows their member to INVADE and MASS-MURDER…

    4. @Gwen Walravens So the EU will let Turkey invade and MASS-MURDER so long as turkey doesn’t send Syrian refugees to them. That sums up just who and what the EU is.

  3. The USA stabbs an ally in the back and runs away, and now Putin is the reliable one in the middle east. Great work by the indispensable nation, all free people of the world sing your praises.

    1. Laudon1780 These people are not allies to the US. Islam is only an Ally to Islam. Russia now has its old enemy knocking on the DOOR. Obama took the US into Syria, Bush took the US into Iraq and Iran got off free. The OUTSIDER will keep the lives of Americans in the US and bank the Money at the Border Wall.

    2. where all this anti war “left”, where are all they gone? Now they sing about pride, national interests etc etc etc

    3. @tingle blade Time for the US to sit back and watch. Pay off some Debt. Build the WALL. Clean up the Democrat Cities of Gangs and Domestic Violence.

    4. NOT Even the Kurds would dare call in the Russian Air Force – suddenly all the HOSPITALS get BOMBED – all of them in one day.

    1. @AkamirNN This is NOT an American Problem. Obama/Clinton/Bush got the US entangled in this MESS. The President will clean the MESS up.The French and the Germans are now going to be very sorry they open the DOORS to Islam.

    2. where all this anti war “left”, where are all they gone? Now they sing about pride, national interests etc etc etc

    3. @Livestream Fail He’s not ending the Syrian civil war. He’s put Syria in more of a free-for-all as Russia and Turkey engage in a proxy war and allow ISIS to use the chaos as a cover to escape prison camps and start more terrorist attacks against civilian targets. And it’s only a matter of time before those freed ISIS members find their way to Europe and USA.

      We fought ISIS in the Middle East so they don’t attack us on our lands, morons. Why do you think there have been so few attacks in USA since 9-11?

  4. Antichrist as described in the dictionary…
     “- a person or thing regarded as supremely evil or as a fundamental enemy or opponent.”
    Trump is not only a traitor to the American people he is officially the Antichrist.

  5. Off to Saudi Arabia to guard Bone Saw bin Salman. Where’s Tom Cotton and his ‘two-strike’ solution in this scenario? Trump got punked.

    1. ye yes ye s becuse he is orange . . . and bad . . . . orange and bad really bad super bad . . . . an also orange

  6. What’s the point of capturing and containing “100% of isis”, as Trump says, when you’re just going to let them all go?

    1. tRump doesn’t have a point that doesn’t include making money for himself and doing everything he can to lip-massage Putins crank.

    2. @Ash Roskell ISIS prisons and concentration camps are far away from the conflict zone. If they get escaped it is not because of Turkish intervention but YPG would open the doors.

    3. Alyuvar : You should watch news reports, like this one for example, instead of Trolling them for PutinTrump? They are dropping shells on the ISIS prisons, as we speak, and they are ESCAPING, en masse . . . SMH

  7. More international damage that another democratic president will have to come and clean up… 8 years just isn’t enough time to fix a royal f-up like this though.

    1. @Mike Smith 2020 he will be in prison the last of the Republican Presidents EVER. We are getting rid of you klansmen

    2. @Hildebeast Clinton He didn’t falsely testify, he said exactly what the Intel said. It was the intel itself that turned out to be wrong. What is it with Trump and his supporters with bending the facts to fit their narrative.

    1. People still trust our service members. They are devastated they had to abandon their allies. It’s Trump who they don’t trust.

    2. Trump seems to be very afraid that US forces could be hit by Turkish airstrikes which would put him into a position where he has to go to war with Turkey or at least dispatch an entire army to Syria.

    3. @Kristi Marie Well yes, exactly. Trump made us aware how quickly the US can radically change in 3 years time. What if Trump won the 2020 elections? He’d have another 5 years to go. We trust your soldiers but if Trump can decide to get troops out just after a war, or worse during a war, that’s a big problem. He already replaced many staff members. Are they only loyal to Trump or will they do the same thing for the next Republican president? We cannot depend on what the future of the US will bring US.

    1. how kind of you. this is likely the end of the most brutal war in 50yrs but you want it to continue and for thousands more civilians to die just for the sake of your unproven conspiracy theory. typical American.

    1. Ratna Mani As then FBI Director, Robert Mueller falsely testified to Congress that Saddam had WMDs in Iraq. Guess what? That gave Cheney the green light on six 20+ year wars.

  8. “the US was mislead” by Turkey!!! surprise! surprise! Putin getting a “gift” provided by the Russian asset in the WH. US being made of as a great fool and now involved in “military humiliation” by Mr. ‘Tough Guy’ in the WH.

    1. To any who feel in the know now: Has the don really been conned, or has his intent all along been to withdraw from Syria, and let Putin rule? They’re buddies aren’t they? “Don’t see why Russia shouldn’t be number eight in the G-7.” I will admit, though, that Turkey is fighting a losing battle, thinking they (well he, their great elected dictator) will get very far into Syrian territory, now that the Russians have the reins.

    2. @Colleen Reilly There are two types of economically-crippling sanctions against Russia by the US:

      1. Attacking the sovereignty of the US democratic elections as determined by the US through thorough investigation.
      2. Invading Ukraine and ‘annexing’ Crimea, as well as the ongoing conflict.

      Trump, as you said is trying to not-so-subtly trying to get Russia reinstated in the G7, especially by trying to get the Ukraine to try and *”make a deal”* (as he calls it) with Russia, which would mean Russia would be exempt from the ongoing conflict that got them kicked out and had hefty sanctions applied by the US.
      He also made easy to confirm statements that he isn’t personally upset with Russia/Putin over the 2016 election attack, trying to lessen the severity of that by saying every nation – including the US – does it.

      As he says it, *”Wouldn’t it be nice if we got along with Russia?”*
      How does one “get along” with sanctions that are devastating their economy, after all?… DX

  9. I feel so sorry for how ashamed that trump has made Our Military feel,he deserves a dishonorable discharge as Our Commander in Chief!

    1. If you support one terrorist organization against an other this will happens. He finally stopped this ridicilious Obama policy.

    2. The Dudelino you don’t really get the point,when the lunatic gave the direct order to abandon our allies on the battlefield,he was disgracing the Honor of every active member and every veteran of Our Military!

  10. Watching the women with their small children running for their lives crying yelling out why did the US do this to us
    our men fought with them — IS HEART BREAKING !!!

    1. The Kurds ae terrorists the same as ISIS.
      Better to have them cry than American families who lose a loved one in a useless war.
      The USA did nothing to them.

  11. Our Criminal in Chief looking after own business interest in Turkey means he is willing to abandon ally that fought and die for us, and now, Trump now has innocent blood of our ally on his hands and he gifted our enemies what they wanted, that is no other ally would trust us. Putin is very happy with his lap dog.
    Sick
