Trump keeping Turkey at bay without firing a single bullet 

While leaving the Kurds to get slaughtered. Thanks for your help, guys. They're all yours now, Edrogan.

the curds can call up damascus any time they want. the U.S. was never going to support kurdistan anyway

[Nintex]

I'm reading stuff like: "Kurdistan should be Israel 2"

And I'm like, breh you can't even make Israel 1 work.

I have some bad news.

America no longer enjoys military primacy in the Indo-Pacific and its capacity to uphold a favourable balance of power is increasingly uncertain.

Chinese counter-intervention systems have undermined America’s ability to project power into the Indo-Pacific, raising the risk that China could use limited force to achieve a fait accompli victory before America can respond; and challenging US security guarantees in the process.

Many US and allied operating bases in the Indo-Pacific are exposed to possible Chinese missile attack and lack hardened infrastructure. Forward deployed munitions and supplies are not set to wartime requirements and, concerningly, America’s logistics capability has steeply declined.

Lol that's what you want us to think

Sorry Asia but you're next

[Nintex]

It has always been a mystery to me why the US should remain in Syria to protect one of their allies(the Kurds) against another NATO ally(Turkey).
At what point do you say: "This war is too silly to get involved in."

It doesn't matter if the US leaves today, next week or next year. The outcome is the same.
The same with Afghanistan. The presence of NATO in Afghanistan is entirely pointless at this point.

Why attack Trump for withdrawing. I mean, Erdogan can decide not to go to war.
If you want to take this all the way you should go for regime change in Ankara.
Which is also dumb but would at least change something.

general on the right seems ready to end the Trump presidency with his sidearm lol
The guy next to Trump thinking: Jesus, I will witness the murder of a president.

So he announced getting out of Syria and some sort of sky treaty on the day he's meeting with all the top military brass.
This guy.

I was told by a top general, maybe the top of them all

I love the idea and concept of the Trump Presidency, I just dislike it's real. This reality would've made for great entertainment if it wasn't for the whole living in it business
Every so often, I remember Trump is somehow president and I just can't believe it

[OnlyRegret]

Quick take, why is the USA obligated to handle everything.
Turkey is significantly closer to the EU, and the EU has leverage in that isn't Turkey trying to join? Why don't you Euros take charge of things in your backyard.

[Rufus]

Only were they had a hand in starting the mess.
Morally, it would be better not to treat allies in the region as completely disposable, but we all know that the hearts and minds spiel is just a platitude.

Turkey is significantly closer to the EU, and the EU has leverage in that isn't Turkey trying to join? Why don't you Euros take charge of things in your backyard.

The refugees they're keeping away from Europe are bigger leverage.

Also, our governments don't give a shit about the Kurds either.

Because Assad had incriminating evidence against Hillary Clinton

It should just illustrate how overblown a US President is. He's a complete wreck, easily the worst we've ever had, and yet things are still roughly the same as they were in 2016.

he's a sudafed junkie 

And supposedly snorting Adderall and cocaine. Why isn't this getting more attention? It explains so much.
So in addition to his worsening dementia and his psychological disorders he is quite likely a junkie, too.
Good thing he doesn't drink, though!

[ToxicAdam]

Knowing Trump, he was probably doing the Fen-Phen weightloss drug back in the late 90's and once it was banned switched to Sudafed to curb appetite in an attempt to quit being a fatass.

Fair enough, I don't disagree with that. But I'm not sure this is the case currently, as far as Turkish aggression is concerned that is.

Got to admit, Trump taking his own impeachment, by calling for the impeachment of everyone else I didn't see coming.

They botched Syria trying to depose Assad at all cost and Isis bearing down on the Kurds goes back all the way to botching Iraq/Iraq's transition to democracy.
Turkey couldn't be so bold as they are right now without a whole lot of "dumb shit" happening before, as Obama called it somewhat ironically.

Gotta say, I wasn't feeling warm on that whole Assad Must Go deal, what with the most recent interventions not being so hot. But yeah, every time I scratch at it, geopolitics is quite a hell of a game.
Like the whole nonsense with Iran and more.

He's the most fit person ever to hold the office of president, according to a note from his doctor that also said he's excused from PE this week and he's can have seconds of ice cream.

According to a new poll, 28% support the impeachment inquiry, 18% support removal from office.

[Nintex]

Why the fuck is Warren leading now

Because the Trump campaign has left a gaping hole in the USS Biden and they've been unable to fire back.
Warren is just lucky that Trump is too busy sinking Biden, but once Biden's campaign has sunk he'll turn the turrets around and starts firing on her again.

The Democrats were trying to get a pre-emptive strike on Trump but failed in the opening salvo and if he manages to drag this impeachment business into 2020 it'll be a campaign issue instead and the Republicans will close ranks.
The only attack the Biden campaign has mustered is to send pretty please do not let Rudy on TV letters to Fox News.

It's like I said before this impeachment business.
The Democrats were splashing around in the kiddie pool with their debates, climate and LGTBQ+ townhalls
while a goddamn shark was circling around them. Now the shark has bitten off little Joey legs and everyone is panicking.

This whole strategy for him is dumb and possibly sets him up for a huge embarrassment.

Best case for him, the Democrats pass a vote to “officially” do an impeachment investigation in a couple of weeks.

But the polling on this is so bad, that it’s just as likely that a couple of purple district Republicans break ranks and vote with the Democrats. Then, it’s a “bipartisan” impeachment investigation.
