    to pull our troops from the Syrian border. There no way we should get bogged down any further in that region.

    Given how the Turks have treated the Kurds in their own county...this is not a good thing. Turkey is run by a group of henchmen...ask Enes Kantor about their code of conduct.

    I see your point but they’ve been so tribal in that region and fighting amongst themselves for centuries. The Islamic nations need to come together and clean up their own neighborhood.
    If the don’t want to be civil with one another over there I just don’t see how we make a difference.
    The Kurds and Turks Shia and Sunnies all need to bring about peace on their own. But I doubly it will even happen.

    I don't see a Turkish invasion doing anything but causing more violence in the region. These are the events that ISIS or Al Quaida or Hamas thrive on....great for their recruiting program. I don't want any of our troops over there period...never have.

    Trump's foreign policy boils down to the following reasoning:

    "Does it help Putin?"

    Is he secretly predicting the future for the USA? The guy is one of the most vindictive people I have ever seen and wouldn't shock me if he gets backed up to far into a wall what he might do.

    Another campaign promise kept, much to the disdain of the Deep State.

    Please pardon the religious reference, but at church we've been studying the book of Daniel, and Trump's self-worship is approaching Nebuchadnezzar levels ("I'll set up an image all must worship, and execute those who won't comply!).

    It's tough for me to see how anyone professing allegiance to Jesus can also support this kind of idolatry.

    And apparently, your own party.

    Ouch. Back to the drawing board for you.

    You dont have to be a Trump supporter to want the hell out of there.
    Let the Islamic nations clean up their own mess fro once in history.

    Not empowering ISIS is of interest to the US as well.

    Just fyi.

    I realize that...but its a community issue that has to be of interest to other islamic nations.
    ISIS has learned that if they push us to far we can in quick fashion address it we still have troops in the mid east.

    Believe it or not, I grew up in a very Christian household and totally know your reference. I can't deny its accuracy and agree with you 100%.

    It’s not just tough to understand, it is impossible to understand or justify. Which is why, again, it’s fake and people are using religion as some sort of shield to hide behind. It’s disgusting.
