    I guess if one dreams about fat, small handed over bearing pompous and egotistical assholes. Not saure why anyone would dream about that, but to each their own. :hello:

    There actually hasn’t been any briefing, press release or any other indications from the White House saying they are even considering abandoning the Open Skies Treaty. The head of the foreign intel committee made a baseless assumption and now Twitter is having a field day.

    my point is not even about whether it’s right or wrong. My point is about TRUMP and that his own fucking party thinks he’s an idiot here. But even tho his more ardent supporters (Mitch, Lindsay etc) come out (finally) and question him, his followers are still like, ‘yeah this is a good idea’. That is all. What will it take for people to say, Jesus this is crazy? Nothing. People who continue to support him in the face of idiocy are...idiots.

    I still haven't made up my mind on this one. It seems no matter how much reading I do on the situation, part of me agrees and part of me disagrees. I suppose, like most things in life, there is no perfect black and white. There are just varying shades of grey.

    You can be against having troops in Syria and still not agree with pulling out with zero warning to our allies and pulling out without consulting with anyone else in our government.

    So you’re saying this was created out of thin air? We’ll see.

    There never is anymore. Policy changes are announced by a tweet from the golden toilet.

    I don't think we know whether it is baseless. It sounds exactly like something Trump would want to do, doesn't it? Assuming someone foolishly told him the treaty existed, that is.

    I think he made a snap decision probably while sitting on the pot.

    What resources does Syria have? Dates? Sesame seeds? Palm oil? Luxurious carpets?
    On the othert hand, Syria does have ISIS. And it has Kurds who are in big trouble with Turkey. Look for quite a few Kurds to die but what the heck, that's them and not us. Also, pray that ISIS doesn't make a come back. One 9-11 is more than enough.

    Your position is that you don’t have a position other than going against everything trump does, no matter what it is. It’s not intriguing.

    Oil and gas pipelines that connect Russia and Western Europe. US doesn’t like that.

    And fuck ISIS. They don’t scare me. Not on my day to day list of concerns. They are nothing but an excuse for our government to blow more shit up.

    Yep, the war mongering media has got your panties all in a bunch with a little pull of the heart strings.

    We can’t have less war without more war. Makes total sense.

    Lol at thinking that ur boy is ‘bringing home the troops’ because he wants to save lives and be the good guy, not because of some favor to Russia or Turkey. It’s cute
