However it does appear that God is using Trump to destroy the abortion movement in the US, perhaps mitigating his lack of personal integrity and devotion to God.
cause God is incapable of finding some one better than Trump to do his will.

Good people don't become careerists in politics.
and god is incapable of changing that, he's impotent.
Trump is more morally "good" than most American politicians.
and here we see how morally bankrupt the religious right is in america.

There has also never been a confirmed link between immigration and increases in crime rates.

Re: Rolled?
If I understand our mission was to remove iss from the area.
ISIS hasn't been removed from the area. There are ~15000 prisoners (fighters/ sympathizers) being held by the Kurds in camps. Do you think the Kurds are going to continue to hold onto them while also fighting off the Turks?

Re: Rolled?
Why would they turn them loose?
cause they need the manpower to fight the Turks/evacuate their own people.
The Turks are to be responsible for those prisoners so why not work with the Turks like they did with the US
cause the Turks are coming to kill the Kurds, that's like asking the Jewish people of Europe to cooperate with the Nazis.
We can not solve their problems for them.
but you can stand by and let them get slaughtered after they fought for you. So brave, so honorable.

Re: Rolled?
Go to war with Nato members.
OR
Allow Turkey to finish creating the safe zone buffer in Northern Syria.
What is your choice?
leave the troops there as a tripwire. Don't greenlight a turkish assault without consulting military and diplomatic subject matter experts. Actually consult said experts and take the time to try to negotiate a solution instead of just leaving the Kurds to their fate (again). trump is supposed to be some kind of master dealmaker but his solution is to just turn tail and let the Kurds die instead of risking his Turkish business deals.
Hillary Clinton brought this up back in 2016.

Re: Rolled?
They are going to release them and hand them a AK47, and ammunition and say come fight with us?
no they (the kurds) are going to stop guarding the camps and go to fight the Turks. How long do the think the camps will remain secure once the guards leave? The ISIS fighters will regroup and return to their ways.
So it was either leave them to resume their fighting or go to war against Nato.
false dichotomy.
Do you have a better solution?
I mentioned it in a previous post: Don't tell Turkey it's ok to invade the Kurdish areas. Leave the troops there as a trip wire force. Take the time to actually consult with the military and diplomatic people who know things and try to work out a deal. Trump is supposed to be a great negotiator but his solution to this problem is to walk away and let the turks slaughter the kurds after they did most of the dirty work fighting ISIS.

Re: Rolled?
And just how many hundred years would you suggest we prepare to keep troops there?
until the point where removing them doesn't inevitably lead to genocide. In the words of a great man "You broke it, you bought it".

Re: Rolled?
We helped them not them helping us.
really? how many casualties did the US suffer in the fight against ISIS? How many do you think you would have suffered if the kurds weren't there?
So what did we break
Granted the Middle East has been a clusterfuck for a long time but the second Iraq war can be labelled as a source of the most recent batch of troubles.
why should we fight that war?
nobody is saying fight that war. Leaving the Us troops there prevents that war cause Turkey isn't going to go to war with the US. A stabilizing force can give time for negotiations, but trump wants to run away.
We are bound by treaty to defend Turkey.
and vice versa, do you really think Turkey is going to declare war on the US?

Re: Rolled?
So the choice then became whether to allow Turkey to carry out those plans or to go to war with them.
and yet nothing happened until trump told the turks it was ok and walked away from the kurds. The idea that turkey is willing to go to war with the us is ridiculous.
