We Have Betrayed the Kurds

The fun will start when idiots begin threatening to eject Turkey from NATO. You then wind up with Russia spinning up weapons sales to a country choked full of American tech and further encircling Ukraine. Should be a thrill a minute.

It’s fucking awesome to fight “just wars”. As long as someone else’s house is destroyed and someone else’s son dies.
:rolleyes:

Ditto. I can’t believe that any sane person would refer to their “great and unmatched wisdom.” :dubious: And then he goes on to threaten to “destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)”?

On a daily basis, Trump seems to try to break his old record for lunacy. He sounds more and more deranged as time goes by.

Deciding to stop fighting endless wars is “deranged”.?
Of course considering it’s Trump, its not brilliance it’s it’s more a case of the the child who said the Emperor has no clothes.

It’s darkly hilarious. Pro War progressives and an far right peace party.

What? Trump screws someone once he’s gotten what he wanted? Do tell. Has Turkey started an investigation or something?

Sens. Romney and Murphy:

Pelosi and McConnell can agree on one thing:

(Current) Secretary of Defense Mark Esper:

The story is more fun if you start from when Dorothy’s house lands on The Wicked Witch of The East… and not when she, The Tin Man, The Scare Crow, and The Cowardly Lion go to visit Trump.

No…a president of the United States referring to his own supposed “great and unmatched wisdom” and threatening to “destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)” is deranged.

Trump whisperer Lindsey Graham appears to be trying to change Trump’s mind in the most effective way possible:

“I need a brain!”

“I need a heart!”

“I need courage!”

“Gentlemen, you are shit out of luck.”

Cornfielded?

Yep. It didn’t sound like the Secretary of Defense/Department of Defense were on the same page as the Commander-in-Chief, so it looks like the statement’s been pulled.

Love it!

The DoD’s job is to follow the President’s (legal) orders.

Exactly. It’s an indicator of just how extraordinary and ill-advised Trump’s decision was that such a statement was made.

JFC. They’ve had to resort to using reverse psychology on the orange fucking moron. Without the slightest attempt to even hide the fact that they are treating him like 12 year old brat.

Agreed. This is like the third or fourth time we’ve betrayed them.
