Disaster in the Making

[Aglaopheme]

We already know you're an expert on all things butt-centric, Vette. Bragging is uncouth.

Or back in reality...

U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper says U.S. will leave forces in Syria to defend oil fields from Islamic State

That’ll play real well if we lose a few soldiers.

Any update on that "genocide" of "the Kurds" all the crazy, emotionally hyperbolic, hysterical bitches were guaranteeing earlier in this fake news thread? Anybody?

There's a hit piece for you:
https://www.newsweek.com/syria-accountability-impunity-war-crimes-donald-trump-1467827

Sure, nothing of holocaust magnitude, nor ever expected, just some unpleasantness of civil war, and now Russians are there to fix things, right?

It’s Russia’s oil actually. Has been for a few years. See the link I posted earlier.

Also, speaking of Russia

Sounds like Putin is quiet pleased with what he’s been able to accomplish in a few short years of pulling Trump’s leash.

And that's the real disaster in the story, not some poor Kurds or even oil fields. Americans was our favorite bully, and fun to tease. Nobody likes too much uncertainty.

ETA: I just love this:

The Russian president also defended President Donald Trump, saying he didn't agree with characterizations that Trump only listened to himself.

"Maybe he acts like that with someone else, but in that case they are to blame," Putin said. "I have a completely normal and professional dialogue with him, and of course he listens. I see that he reacts to his interlocutor's arguments."

That’s certainly the big picture. I think as much as people have been saying that was Putin’s goal, and he was using Trump to that aim, it’s really just starting to sink in. It’ll sink in more soon enough.

So we’re now helping protect the criminal Assad’s oil? Did I hear that correctly?

Correction: what used to be "Assad's oil", then became Daesh's oil with which they financed their special flavor of Islamic terrorism, and which now is under U.S. "protection" from being used as it was formerly.

FUCK THAT OIL
NO U.S. TROOPS ON ANY FOREIGN SOIL UNLESS CONGRESS DECLARES WAR

Looks like you'll get your troops in the ME forever after all!!

That wasn't a problem when you were demanding eternal war for no reason when you thought Trump was pulling them out.

Why the repeated flip flopping?

It's ok....we know why.

I was referring to his exaggerated verbiage, not the fact that we have a couple of hundred troops around some oil fields, which was the plan.

Good of you to point out that "genocide" of "the Kurds", which was not merely "expected" but most definitely assured and guaranteed to happen by pundits of every anti-Trump stripe, from emotionally hyperbolic amateurs in this very thread to their hysterical pro bros and hos everywhere else, hasn't happened.

 

[KeithD]

Cite who used the word "extermination." How many dead Kurds meets any threshold you might have of "not good"? Congrats on maintaining your ethically and morally degenerate standing.

 

[jomar]

Yep, with Trump, all roads lead to Russia. Why don't the board Trumpettes care that this is the case? Who's paying the board Trumpettes?

Boggles the mind it’s so clear.

 

[Specula]

such reasoning can be only in the case when there is absolutely no concept of what war is AT HOME, and not somewhere tens of thousands of miles from home. And what is blood, death, deprivation, not on the Internet and TV. And if you lived through it, God forbid of course, you probably would have a different look at why you can send soldiers to such a distance, to protect some ephemeral foreign interests. By the way, when nobody is by and large not asked about it.

Excellent post!

 

[SpeareChucker]

The only disaster I see is the hysteria of the anti-Trumpettes...

Another angle that had seen little consideration here is that one of the players most outraged and threatened by erratic Trump behavior and power shift in Syria is Izrael.

Russia Accuses U.S. of 'State-Sponsored Gangsterism' and Illegally Smuggling Syria's Oil After Troops Moved to Protect Oil Fields
Newsweek.com | Sat Oct 26, 2019 15:02 UTC

Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov claimed U.S. troops protected American oil smugglers who circumvented sanctions in return for petrodollars.


If the PuppetMaster is displeased, how will the Puppet respond?

Israel can handle its own affairs.

Don't doubt me!

Turkey cannot take care of the Kurds within its borders
and for the same reason they've had to accept peace
with the Kurds outside of their borders.

Let us not confuse the weak with the strong...

The Russians can accuse Trump of anything they want
with the knee-jerk approval of non-thinking Liberals...

Like children the read the propaganda
and exclaim with passion
SEE! I TOLD YOU SO!

Don’t forget it’s to the detriment of Israel.

How about the Israeli reaction to this disastrous move in Syria?

This is the fast-shifting Israeli mindset that awaits Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is expected to touch down in Israel Friday and meet Mr. Netanyahu to discuss regional security matters, chief among them Iran.

The challenge he faces is evident in two recent op-ed headlines in the mainstream, mass-circulation Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot: “The Next Betrayal” and “A knife in our back.”

In the same publication, Shimrit Meir, the founding editor of Al-Masdar, an Israeli news website in Arabic, writes, “It is time for the most loyal Trump supporters in the region and beyond to come to terms with the fact the U.S. can no longer be relied on as it continues to spin out of control.”

And now .....


Trump’s About-Face on Kurds Puts Israel in Quandary

President Donald Trump’s abandonment of the United States’ Kurdish allies to a Turkish military onslaught is giving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu second thoughts about the reliability of his friend in the White House.

Agreed. Merely a few mentions. But, hey, our allies don’t need us at all.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You were so prescient!


Disaster has struck...










... Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi!

 

[SpeareChucker]

You think Israel disapproves of this action???

Frankly, I was lazy to scan the whole tread, and just wanted to post the opinion link here.

Well, supposedly no one should.

The point of mentioning the Izrael at all, is the, possibility wrong, impression that they have quite a disproportionate influence in certain circles of USA politics.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Yeah, this just begs for the usual Nazi comparison...

Of course, we have seen rants against evangelicals, white men, the NRA, etc.
