Politics Dont like the guy...but I like his decision

I wasn't really commenting on the current regime's financial decisions, just saying that I realize that I tend to think more like a capitalist in terms of economics and so I realize that acknowledging there are negative effects of the way I would make decisions may come across as hypocritical to some.

 

There's absolutely nothing good you can say about this ass we have inflicted on ourselves as President.

 

I sometimes agree with atrocious posts because I agree with the message the poster was intending.

 

Trump is keeping the troops in place. Good.

 

huh?

 

Damage is done. And no, he's not. He's installing sanctions (that too, on only steel) that are a day late and a a dollar short.

 

Isn't the spin amazing? Blind sheep. Every single one of them.

 

Keeping many of them in the region to monitor the situation.

 

As usual, you are misinformed. Try to read more than his tweets for your news.

 

I don't read Trumps tweets. I don't ready anyone's tweets!

 

The only connection I have with tweets is sharing them here and there in here from webites they're posted on....and most of them pertaining to basketball. To my knowledge, I've never shared a Trump tweet, though.

 

If you weren’t scared before, read this. I couldn’t believe it was true at first, but sure enough, our president is a literal imbecile.

 

unbelievable

 

Wrong. As always we are paying our share and most of Europe's share. Our supposed allies are the biggest skinflints.

Without the US the UN would have died off decades ago. Sad we kept it alive as it hasn't accomplished anything of value for the investment.

 

The head of the North Syrian Kurds military said he completely understands the position Trump was put in and is eager to continue working with US against ISIS.

Turkey got the breathing room at the border they needed to protect their people from the Kurd terrorists.

Iran is heartbroken as they were hoping to get US bogged down in Syria again. Bad news for them is the troops are repositioning to bolster defenses nearer to Iran and the gulf.

Leaders around the world, and at home, are acknowledging Trump's unorthodox approach (not killing people) to diplomacy is getting results and gaining respect from our enemies.

Masterful.

 

Lindsey Graham on Syria: 'I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions'

By Talia Kaplan | Fox News

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who has been a vocal critic of President Trump’s decision to move U.S. troops out of Syria, said on Sunday that he is now “increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions” there.

Speaking on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he spoke with Trump on Saturday night about the objectives in Syria and was encouraged by their discussion over the fight against Islamic State terrorists.

“I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions in Syria that have eluded us for years if we play our cards right,” Graham told Bartiromo on Sunday.

He went on to explain what the president told him over the weekend and outlined the objectives:

“To make sure we have a demilitarized zone between Turkey and the Kurds,” Graham said. “The Kurds were the allies who helped us defeat ISIS. They lost 10,000 soldiers, we’ve lost eight in four years, God bless the eight, but it was the Kurds who did most of the fighting.”

“Protect our NATO ally Turkey from elements of the Kurds that they consider to be terrorists. A demilitarized zone occupied by international forces, no Americans, but we provide airpower,” he continued.

“The president appreciates what the Kurds have done,” Graham told Bartiromo on Sunday. “He wants to make sure ISIS does not come back. I expect we will continue to partner with the Kurds in eastern Syria to make sure ISIS does not reemerge. That is in our national security interest and we owe it to the Kurds.”

REP. PAUL GOSAR: TRUMP WAS RIGHT TO WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM SYRIA -- WE SHOULD PROTECT US BORDERS INSTEAD

Graham also said Trump has been “thinking outside the box” about securing oil.

“Not only are we going to deny the oil fields falling into Iranian hands, I believe we are on the verge of a joint venture between us and the Syrian democratic forces that helped destroy ISIS and keep them destroyed to modernize the oil fields and make sure they get the revenue, not the Iranians, not Assad, and it can help pay for our small commitment in the future,” Graham said. “And, protecting Israel is the number one objective. We can do all of that with a very small force. I’m increasingly optimistic. This can turn out very well.”

A small contingent of Americans providing air power and capability will keep ISIS at bay and keep the jails locked up and the ISIS fighters won’t break out.”

He went on to say, “What I heard from the president was... 'play the ball as you lie,' [which] is a concept in golf. After Erdoğan’s invasion, things have gotten scrambled in Syria, but I see a way forward now that really, quite frankly, is historic.”

Graham continued, “Historic security for Turkey, historic security for the Kurds, a plan to keep ISIS down and out forever, and the chance to keep the oil fields in the hands of our allies, not enemies, would be a hell of an outcome, and I think that’s now possible.”
