It’s bad either way, but it’s false in the sense that Team Trump overhyped a “deal” strictly for the splashy news headlines when it wasn’t a concrete agreement but instead a big stack of LOIs.
What a fraud.
Yeah I tend to agree with you on this topic. What are your thoughts on Obama handing Iran 150 billion? I didn’t like that either.
And if the Brookings report is right, the “deals” originated during the Obama administration in any event.
Here is the cnn article. They just say Whitehouse official.
If there’s no names it’s probably fake
A five second Google search, Einstein:

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was also there as President Trump and King Salman participated in the signing ceremony for almost $110 billion worth of defense capabilities.

So if half of them see the ploy (and Russia somehow doesn’t) we’re still at half of them hesitant about sharing intel. How about 10% of them not sharing intel? What’s the good number of countries and amount of intel we’re alright with losing? I assume you’re not suggesting that EVERY country believes it to be a ploy but Russia.
I’m very against nearly all of Obama’s Iran decisions. That being said, if we agree to lift sactions of Iran’s own money under X conditions, and they meet X conditions, I don’t find tons of fault in Obama for delivering on a deal where we took steps to avoid a nuclear Iran.
Where I would have liked to see improvement would be using the money as leverage to force Iran to pull back in strategic parts of the ME as well. But at the end of the day, it didn’t cost us 150 billion (if it did I’d be furious, Iran can fuck off).
I’m not sure that anyone will react the way you describe and neither are you. Was it wise to share intel with Russia? That depends on what he shared and what else was attached to it. Half or more, of what we do around here is take little fragments of information and then run in the direction of our own political persuasion. And we are all guilty of this. Let’s wait and see…or wait and see if we can find out more info.
Well, we can totally agree on that.
Have a good night purfy!
No it doesn’t. There are very official ways to share classified intel that don’t consist of “offhandedly to a Russian ambassador then let it leak publicly to the world.” To be so incompetent as to share the intel so carelessly, let it leak so carelessly, then immediately act like you’re being framed. There’s a right way to pass around intel, this was not that way. Hard stop.
Agreed. Personally, with Trump’s intense pushback of ANYTHING resembling a slight, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him double down on this type of behavior in the future.
Do you even lift bro?

When you walk down the street and notice a woman has a nice body and think about her sexually, congratulations you just objectified her.
Do you know any women who own dildos or vibrators? They’re sexually objectifying men.
And here’s the problem - strategic points in the ME (not taking into account Israel) can either be controlled by radical Islamists (ISIS; AQ, JaT) or by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and their proxies and allies.
Take your pick. Also, please note this cringe-worthy video

And another thing - why is not the alt-right up in arms that a bunch of foreign security officers - and Muslims to boot - beat up US citizens in front of the White House?
US citizens, huh? Looks like a bunch of transplants that brought their shit with them to me. Also, just because you show up to a fight and get your ass kicked doesn’t mean that the other guys did something wrong. If you ask me- They can all get the fuck out, and take their political grudges with them.
“I showed up to a fight and got my ass kicked”
So they left Turkey, presumably to escape Erdogan, then start some shit when he comes here.
Send them all back.
By the way, “their shit” is opposing radical Islamism.
If the POTUS (POTUSes for that matter) doesn’t want to do anything about, they decided to draw their attention to the the White House sucking up to a neo-islamist dictator.
Bodyguards of a foreign dictator beating up women doesn’t bother you? These people came to protest, not get into fights with bodyguards/paramilitaries.
Also, women had their head uncovered what incensed Erdogan’s security personnel.
I didn’t know there was a multiple-tier system of US citizens. Those worthy of defending and “transplants”.

The American terrorist proxy has struck Tehran in a suicide bombing, y’all just spreading your love everywhere.
Opposing it from a distance. In this circumstance, I don’t particularly care what the opinion abroad is. But since you asked…
They want to oppose radical islam? They can head on back and oppose it right on its home turf. Where they ran from.
Why did they run from Turkey then start fighting here?[quote=“loppar, post:1159, topic:229190”]

Not when she leads with her face like that. I also saw them show quite a bit of restraint. No one gets to jump into the thick of it and cry foul when they get beat up. Male, female, or what ever. Dropping the gender card doesn’t play at that type of scenario.
Bullshit. When you show up to protest, protest. There was plenty of room to flee and several round of melee. They could have left as soon as it started getting hot. [quote=“loppar, post:1159, topic:229190”]

There is. Its called “Leave your shit where you got it” They brought their problems to our shores and now expect us to provide a solution to it.
Please enlighten me Einstein on this opposing on home turf.
Because people who oppose Erdogan are either imprisoned, have disappeared or straight up killed by the police, security forces and paramilitaries. Not much room for “opposing”, as even people with placards get killed.
But I’m sure you know better with your fake-ass verbal posturing.
Bullshit. They’re not expecting a solution to their “problems they’ve brought”, they are protesting because the POTUS is accepting in the White House a neo-islamist dictator with all the accompanying pomp.
I’m not the one asking for opinions on the subject am I?
And my fake ass verbal posturing had me at the recruiters office before I graduated high school to sign on to a combat specific m.o.s.
What have you done besides bitch about it?
So you’ve made it very clear- They left because they knew they’d get slaughtered, then came over here and started shit during a peaceful diplomatic meeting- then hid behind our police and played the victim.
