Yes.
A bit different from captured American merchants.
I really think every group over there will treat others badly when in power. Time to get out and let them.
You’re equating Islamic terrorists who’ve killed, tortured and enslaved hundreds of thousands and socialists advocating total gender equality?
LOL!!! And here I was thinking it was the aliens at Area 51.
9/11? That was Putin and Trump colluding. Those towers were blocking his view of Manhattan. They’ve been pals ever since.

C’mon, don’t resort to bullshit arguments.
Both ISIS and AQ are different names for Salafi Saudi-funded islamic terrorism.
Your boy is repeating Russian talking points from Helsinki.

No, but attacking Syria is one of the few things Trump has done that got him neocon approval in the U.S. I disagreed with it. I don’t disagree with pulling out and letting what happens happen.
He obviously has no clue about who the Kurds are or the history of the region.
Pat is an uninformed moron.
Which will end with us having to go back there and make the chickenhawks happy. Those who fail to learn from history…
God knows we never learn, do we?
Everyone in power seems to think “I’m not going to make the same mistakes! I am going to do it RIGHT this time!”
Very likely!
I have some friends with some pre-teens/early teens.
I had one of those strange, awful moments when I was thinking “Looks like “your” War is already being set up for you…”

I’m betting the next generation isn’t going to fall for the same 9/11 sentiment driven sign up we saw from the last ‘war.’ I also don’t think you can realistically implement a draft in the modern age America we have today.
That’s why nowadays it’s all about proxy wars.
We just left a proxy army to fend for itself. Good luck with the next one.

And what I don’t get, @Gkhan…why?
We protected the Kurdish airspace and provided enough ground forces to keep Turkey at bay at a relatively small cost in U.S. Lives.
Second only to Israel…the Kurds are/(were?) an island of sanity amid utter chaos in the Middle East.
They formed the “spearhead” of our fight against ISIS.
And this is their “reward”?
I am open to anyone explaining to me Trump’s actions against the Kurds. I don’t understand 4-D Chess.
Unless that cost of life was your kid.

I emphasized “relatively”, because I knew someone would throw that out there, @doogie…and I wasn’t disappointed.
The loss of Lives in our protection of Kurdish areas has been less than 100’s of different things in American Life (including the military non-combat loss of Life we experience in the U.S. alone on a daily basis).
It’s a volunteer force.
Has Trump attacked the Kurds? What action/s has he taken against them?
I don’t play games of semantics, @NickViar.
I also fail to believe that you don’t know what actions Trump has taken that are devastating to the Kurds.
