    @bluefrog!
    I see you are from New Bern. On the Neuse River, North Carolina?

    Uh, sure, but it's also a step in the right direction to help mitigate said problem.

    I prefer a president that has enough knowledge and brains as to how to properly pull troops out rather than just out of a whim tell Erdogan I'm pulling my troops so you have free reign. What the fuck did you think would happen? He doesn't get credit for trying to correct his fuck up. It would be like me rear ending you in a car accident that is clearly my fault and agreeing to have my insurance company pay you. I guess he can send his customary thoughts and prayers to the victims that he is responsible for. That should cover that part right?

    I've been rear-ended and the car took off around me instead of giving me their insurance info. So... I guess I'd rather he try to fix his screw up instead of not trying to fix it...

    Sure, but I prefer he doesn't fuck up to begin with as he was warned. I firmly believe the only reason he tried to do anything after the fact is because of the backlash he has been getting and how many republicans voted to condemn his actions in the House as well as all the momentum impeachment is gaining. I also have yet to hear him make a statement denouncing the violent video that was played of him killing several people who he considers enemies and are Americans. Have you heard him admit that his plan execution was a mistake or the video should have never been used? The guy is a con, a crook and a liar.

    Also, your analogy of someone doing a hit and run against you would be more like trump pulling the troops and then denying he was the responsible party (surprising he didn't try that approach as he has in the past).

    I wish none of us screwed up to begin with... Of course, the reaction to his action is what he's reacting too. In regards to the video I have only seen the tweet that someone else from the white house sent out, I haven't seen anything else, but that is a different topic.
    I've very rarely if ever heard Trump say he has made a mistake, something about his unmatched wisdom and such lol.

    My point was just if he's trying to correct a problem he created and he's taking the right step, sure you can be upset he made the problem but he could've double-downed on it, in fact that's what I expected him to do. So while I may not "give him credit" for it, I think it's good that both sides put enough pressure on him to make him react in a positive manner.

    Now we know it's liable to be one of the most famous US Presidential Letters ever written, marking America's departure from participating in wars for profit while tilting the Earth in the direction of peace.

    Are you fucking kidding me? Kurds have 120 hours to completely evacuate their land with whatever they can carry or be massacred. Turkey then will occupy the land. No suggestion where Kurds should go; the US no longer accepts refugees. Trump even said they need to be "cleaned out". Ethnic cleaning sponsored by the United States. Erdogan got everything he wanted. A capitulation in the spirit of Neville Chamberlain.

    Its like setting your house on fire, wait until its almost burned to the ground, then pouring water on it.

    We still saw them set the house on fire, now they just look like an idiot putting out the fire they started.

    Thats what trump is. A fucking moron who couldnt give a shit about anyone in this world, let alone our country.

    Kurds are like person mugged at gunpoint agreeing to give up wallet and cellphone in order to not be killed, while man who hired mugger brags about what a great job he did preventing victim's death.

    No it's not, it's forcing 3 Million Kurds out of their homes and replacing them with 6 Million Sunni Arabs who hate the Kurds. How would you like it if your worst enemy, let's say cup. moved into your home which you were forced out of and the arrangement was made by an agreement between me and Sly?
