He's a sniveling groveler to everyone. It's sickening how much damage a weak, gutless, soulless person can do in a position of power. He needs to be forcibly removed from office ASAP.

He clearly is in it for the money, bows to Putin, has his daughter on phone calls with ultraviolent dictators, and regularly pump fakes. He's a mess and inconsistent as hell.

Steven Miller is all over this one.

needs his ass to be brought out into the open, coward. He needs to go down.

would be helping his co-conspirator Eric Prince (Betsy "Cruella" DeVos' brother) get rich.

Imagine being the family of US service members and hearing the Commander-in-Chief basically describe the American military as a mercenary army hired by countries like Saudi Arabia who are “paying” us to go protect them

Likely, Erdogan told him that his properties could suffer from terrorist attacks if Erdogan doesn't make sure that they are well protected. Get it? The last thing Trumpy wants is getting his properties bombed or attacked by terrorists. I'm surprised that, by now, every Trumpy property abroad hasn't been the target of terrorist attacks. Trumpy must be paying a lot of money for protection. OR... have you noticed that Russia has never gotten attacked by al-Qaeda, ISIS, or any other terrorist organization? Should we begin to suspect that Putin is funding them? THAT would be the disclosure of the decade, but the journalists who COULD expose that small notation in any possible news cycle would be on more than one tyrant's hit list.

The blowback is already beginning.

Middle East War.

This just gave me an interesting thought. I believe it would be appropriate but dangerous for the Democrats to pursue The Orange One for his crimes after he is tossed out of OUR White House. Future Republican administrations (because, sadly, there will be some) will make an effort to do the same to any Democrats.

What if we let the world court decide his crimes. Send him to The Hague and hold him accountable for the atrocities happening in Syria. Let him face his failures on the world stage.

I suspect he’ll pay in the afterlife.

But I want to see payment exacted in THIS life. I want an example made of him as a cautionary tale now and in the future for other self-absorbed deceitful cowardly blowhard bullying wannabes who think they’re entitled to be king.

Or "next time" it will be someone much smarter who will actually succeed at becoming Emperor. And we need to codify so many of the norms that The Orange One has blown through. Once we are past this (tomorrow would be nice), we need to ensure that this never happens again.

I would celebrate if that happened.

The strategic map of Syria is of vital importance to our security interests. Trump is nuts.

allies burn his ass (tRump) and call him out for War crimes.

Toyota (I'm guessing) meets AT-TE

Guessing at the caliber of the weapon.

I fired a 25mm from a Bradley in the Cav but that's really heavy. Needs a lot of structure. A 50 cal, I would think, could be fired from a pickup support and maybe a 20mm.

I don't know.

20

50



25

Back in the day before the regiment combined its artillery support into a separate Fires squadron each squadron had its own 155mm battery for support (M109A1s).

But it’s been 44 years since I ETS’d, and my weapons identification is a bit rusty...

Thanks for responding.

Edit: thanks also for the photos. It looks too big to be a .50 cal., or the equivalent DSHK. I’ll guess somewhere in the 20mm range, perhaps a Soviet design.

We should not be betraying our best allies in fighting ISIS there.

When "Never leave a man behind" referred to our allies as well.

For every hideous and horrible thing Trump says and does, keep in mind who knowingly and willingly gave America this monster.

REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!

pass it on

Pass it AROUND THE WORLD.

This is on REPUBLICANS in AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not me.... not Democrats..
REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!

coward will be spoken all over the world, and the Europeans will kick ass/or our ass.

consider if he's able to do this to our allies what makes you think he won't do something similar to you if he is pressured by a foreign government that has compromising information about him

after Obama drew a line in the sand if Asaud used chemical weapons. They are not only letting it happen now they cut and ran. SAD. A couple Trumpsters I know don't give a damn Trump did it so it is ok.

Because they buy into the tough guy act.

If he loses that, he loses them

Bullshit runs the marathon.

He's a fucking coward. He'd shit himself if ever physically challenged.

with the big boys, hmmm......they may throw him under the bus. Putin got him by the balls.

Helluva foreign policy you have there, baby killer!

We were called that, but trump really is!

How can you serve your country being led by a "would be" dictator?

Should be a mass Exodus.

The "mass Exodus" is what he wants.
The same thing is happening with Repugs in congress who can't stomach him anymore.
It has also happened in the State Department, where great members with years of non-political, dedicated service to the United States have been pushed out so as to strengthen IQ45's hold on the department.

NO!!!

It is time to stand up and fight.

Do it legally - do it ethically - do it for the greater cause.

Thank you for your service. Let's hope we have people in there now that are committed to the same principle - freedom and justice for all.

Particularly if the Senate looks like it will at least think about removal.

Who is next to abandon. The EU?

Putin hates NATO as much as he hated the US State Department. Putin wants them non existent.

Glad you used the term "erratic". That's the thing -- Trump doesn't DO plans or planning. He just goes out and does sh*t. And then has other people come along behind him to sweep up the mess -- and try to spin how this is part of some plan or agenda. There IS NO F*CKING PLAN.

(Look -- he can't even sell this sh*t to his own toadies. Nobody knows what he's doing. Including Trump.)

A lot of American soldiers would have empathy and respect for the Kurds and know this is wrong.

I’m not. Malignant narcissists don’t give three shits for anyone but themselves. He will spin it that it’s actually a good thing. It made the Kurds get along with everyone.

They're following orders like they have to, but it still makes them look like cowards and assholes.

Now, if some super-extra-bright military lawyer could find a way to prove that this is an illegal order, the military could tell him to fuck off and go do what they are trained to do and know is the right thing to do.

Hope they like having blood on their hands.

for the Kurd betrayl are Trump and those who enabled it.

The soldiers and farmers didn't see this coming any more than the rest of us.

Story after story about his chaotic business practices, his cruelty to subordinates, the way he treated his ex-wives, his bankruptcies, his ties to mobsters, his lies about events like 9-11, his collusion with the Russians, his misogyny, and his glaring lack of knowledge about foreign affairs was all there in plain sight.

I do feel sorry for farmers who are suffering, and for military members who find themselves in these untenable situations, but many of us did see this coming - including Hillary Clinton, who's beginning to sound like Nostradamus - and no one would listen, and the media buried it. But as voting groups, the military and farmers helped put him into office and all this was hugely predictable. Nobody but Trump, his cronies, and his family have ever benefited from one thing he's done. And sometimes his cronies and his family don't either.

The characteristics you've listed, negative as they are, are not automatically predictive of war crimes.
We're all angry, and many, I'm sure, feel the need for a scapegoat, but I don't think these types of over the top accusations help anyone.






..

I think all of the things I mentioned made it evident that this is the type of presidency he'd have.

that the Trump voting farmers and military "have blood on their hands".

They should have seen it coming; every indication was there.

and, no, I don't believe they saw murderous war crimes coming..I don't believe even you "saw that coming". Have a nice day.

This is exactly where the isolationist policies that he's been pushing - America First! - were going to lead. Abandoning our allies is part of his worldview and it was just a matter of time before something like this happened.

I agree with LisaM. This was quite predictable.

Sorry, no... Virtually everyone is surprised and angry.

will go with the ship, unless they start eating their own. They are nothing but cowards, thus here we are now. Very sad.

but I don't believe they anticipated this terrible beyrayal of the Kurds.

I refer you to Hillary's 20 questions are just as valid as in 2016 (DU), with particular attention to #6, regarding properties in Turkey.

Really great how all the debate moderators picked that up and ran with it.

It didn't work then and won't work now!

Disobey unlawful orders!

It may as well be Americans pulling the trigger!

Shame!

that will come back as a larger issue in the future. Whatever it may be, but the added instability in the region that this caused ensures US troops will be back there fighting the same battles that were already won. While Trump and his admin is to blame for this specific situation, this ridiculous and near-sighted approach to handling anything like this is kind of how the US rolls. Even before ISIS started getting beat back, everyone knew that once they were gone this was going to be the situation. The Trump administration had well over a year to take steps to ensure continued stability in the region even if/when we pulled out. Considering he keeps saying he ran on the promise of pulling out of places like Syria, then this should have been a huge priority. Whatever the actual solution may have been. Working to establish and official Kurdish state or working to get Syria and Kurds to integrate themselves or whatever. I don't think I heard of any efforts on their part to come up with any solution to ensure the stability of the region.

Now we have another cluster fuck in which innocent people are being slaughtered. We look assholes (again) after abandoning people who were our allies.

And our Kurdish allies are slaughtered...the innocent Kurd civilians are raped, murdered and “collateral damage” as this loathesome lard ass coward goes golfing and distracts with his twitter account.

We truly are a nation of sick morons and hypocrites.

Most of "the nation" voted AGAINST this hideous moron.

Granted, "most of the nation" voted against the fucking idiot. And how many voted FOR the fucking idiot! Shall we pretend we are not a nation of morons. When NEARLY HALF the fucking country votes for this piece of shit, 40% of the voting adults SUPPORT this piece of shit....that pretty much says it all.

I ONLY speak for myself. I've watched this nation on the international stage since I was 18 years old and traveled outside the country for the first time. I knew we had backward, simple minded morons in the rural hills of the reddest of red states. I just had no idea there were so many.

You can pretend we are a nation of intelligent and thinking citizens. Your fantasy world will probably be more comfortable for you to accept. As for me, I know this country has racist, hypocrite KKKristians, selfish morons among us in the TENS OF MILLIONS

You speak for yourself, and I'll speak for myself. Enjoy your day.

If you "grant" most of the country voted AGAINST Trump, what is your rationale for insulting the entire country ? Answer: None.

And no, again, you do not "only" speak for yourself when you simplemindedly insult an entire people on what was done
by a Minority -- If you want to label YOURSELF a Moronic American, knock yourself out, just leave the rest of us out of it.

P.S. If you actually were well-travelled, you'd know tha EVERY country has it's "backward morons". Enjoy your day.

You aren't worth responding to.

not nearly as well as you.

Time to choose Republicans! Wait! What? You are taking Russian language lessons? Now we know which side you were on all along.

WELCOME TO DU...

are being humiliated. And Putin wins again. Get this fucking idiot out well he started a conflict and ISIS is out. I hate this fucking POS.
