side, fleeing and dying on the other. No collateral civilian casualties, always horrible enough. Intentional annihilation of target population. Not a fight.

hotels in their country. Trump Kurdistan. Now that would be something to see. But they won't let me do it, so let the wonderful Turks -- who let me build not one but two beautiful Trump Towers -- do whatever they want. Take the Kurds to lunch, bomb the hell out of them, it doesn't affect my bottom line, so f*ck 'em."

No feeling. No empathy. No understanding that the Kurds wanted stability and they were our allies. He betrayed them.

Only a complete asshole who doesn't have any idea of what he is talking about and who also lacks any sense of empathy or compassion would say something like that.

I think all of us here know the context and benefits of our alliance with the Kurds and what the point was. He either pretends he doesn't know, (which may be a tactic again) or watches that delusional movie that plays on the screen in his maggot-filled munchkin brain and reports in real time.

A human travesty in a suit causing irreparable harm and death for his own benefit, screwing our diplomacy with the world and bringing back ISIS by their escape and by giving them excellent material for recruiting, as well.

It's the Trumpian view of inferiority. These people aren't Strong & Tough, and they have no way to make Trump money, so they are disposable.
