Syria

Another Obama promise fulfilled.  Oh wait, liberals love endless wars now, send them back... REEEEE

Oh....so we were in Syria putting our men and women in harms way so our "allies" wouldn't attack them......yeah, got it.  Maybe Canada can send some troops over there, yeah?  I mean, if it means so much to you, send your sons and daughters....you've got a handful in N. Iraq.....they're close....get them in the game.

Again, pizz on Turkey....one more reason to let NATO go. 

Watch what Erdogan does when Trump cuts off their economy......I like that better than flag draped coffins.

Not everyone agrees.  As I posted with an edit above, before you posted, watch what Erdogan does when Trump moves to wreck Turkey's economy.  I like that better than flag draped coffins.

But again.....all nations who don't agree can send their sons and daughters.......I'm not holding my breath.  Just a bunch of hot air from them.

Thousands of innocent people die every day.  Many here in the US.  Many in other parts of the world in other conflicts.  The US cannot protect every innocent person in the world, nor should we try.  

The Kurds are certainly in an unfortunate situation.  They're not welcome in Turkey, Syria, Iran, or Iraq...where do they go to be safe from their persecutors?  Are you proposing that US forces remain in the region for CENTURIES to protect them?  Are you proposing that Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran each "give up" a little bit of their land to establish a separate country for them (ala Israel) and that none of those countries won't want their land back at the first opportunity??  

Fixed that for you. 

On a bigger scale, there's been a perpetual and in my opinion intentional mess going on in the gulf for most of our lives.  We have intentionally stopped producing and refining oil in the US to become dependent on the middle east.  We then inserted ourselves in virtually every conflict that's been going on for thousands of years to "fix" all the problems and make it more stable.  hah, that's funny. 

Obama campaigned on stopping the wars, but he escalated them all and brought us ISIS.  So, he's either horribly incompetent, or he intentionally kept them going.  I personally believe the latter.  We all know about what the Bushes did to start and perpetuate instability in the region. 

Anyways, now along comes Trump, who also campaigned on stopping these endless wars and he even went further and said we will become energy independent so it doesn't even matter what happens over there. 
Step one, he opened up drilling like a mad man and we quickly became energy independent to the point of exporting oil.  check
Step two, kick the crap out of ISIS with an actual intention on ending the war and not just lobbing missiles at houses to pretend like you're doing something.  check
step three, GTFO of the middle east and Allah sort it out.  check (in progress)

Remember, there is instability and atrocities all over the world.  If you think the middle east is bad, you should take a trip to Africa.  It's way worse there and guess how much anyone cares about that?  Yeah, we don't care because there's nothing there in the US interest such as oil.  Well, guess what, we don't care about the middle east oil any more now, so grab the popcorn. 

I don't have personally have a problem selling Israel weapons so they can protect themselves. (key word, themselves)

The wiki does a decent job of describing Neocon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

I'd sum it up as politicians who want to intervene in foreign affairs through the use of military.  Often using the spread of democracy as the justification for jacking things up.  The Iraq war would be a perfect example of Neocon behavior. 

Beats me, I'm not the President.....ask Iran. 

Now what, we're going to pretend the U.S. can't destroy the economies of most countries?  I mean, if that was true we wouldn't have heard the giant whine coming out of Canada when the President decided NAFTA wasn't the best way to go.  Y'all got on the new bus fast enough.

Nah, I don't want to hear about responsibility in foreign affairs by my country, yours, or anyone else's.....because that's a giant mass of BULLCHIT.

Each nation acts based on it's own self interest.....period.  The fact is we have no more interest in Syria, and losing interest in general in the Middle East.  Oil was the driving force, until we were attacked, and then it was to try and ensure that we weren't attacked again....that's all.

You and Spiderman can pontificate all you want about a Nation's responsibility.....but then you have to explain 1.5-2 million Cambodians killed by the Khmer Rouge from '75-'79, or 500,000 - 1 millions Rwandan's killed during a genocide there in 1994.  The world stood and watched.....your country, my country, EVERY country.....responsibility my arse.  The fact is, nobody cared because nobody had a monetary stake.

BTW - both of those atrocities happened under a Democrat President in the U.S. so spare me the gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands, by Liberals, over President Trump pulling our troops out of Syria.  That's just more disingenuous crap by the Left.

Again, if it bothers you so much, petition Trudeau to send some of your kids over there.
