Disaster in the Making

[Aglaopheme]

ODS is strong with this one.

They do live in this pro Trump propaganda bubble that has little connection to the truth. Not a single good thing to be said about anyone that crosses the dear leader even if they come from the Republican Party, Fox or Trump’s own cabinet.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Was that supposed to make sense?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Not to your propaganda addled brain, boomer.


All one has to do is look at Sessions’ statement to see that I am right.

When I left President Trump’s Cabinet, did I write a tell-all book? No. Did I go on CNN and attack the president? Nope. Have I said a cross word about our president? Not one time.

I’ll tell you why: First, that would be dishonorable. I was there to serve his agenda, not mine. Second, the president is doing a great job for America and Alabama, and he has my strong support.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Argument by facts. Rebuttal brought to you by whataboutism.

Was that supposed to make sense?

Obviously not to you, Chief.

 

[HisArpy]

Was that supposed to make sense?

No.

It was nothing more than the usual mental crapfest masquerading as progressive enlightenment. Reality is staring them in the face and they can't see that it totally rejects everything they're about.

You are connecting invisible dots...

 

[Aglaopheme]

Nope. It appears to be a well established fact in Trump’s circle, and Trump apologists fall in right behind them as all good cultists do.

When she consulted another State Department official, Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, on how to deal with the accusations coming out against her, she was told to "go big or go home," according to her testimony.

She said Sondland, an ally of Trump who was working on foreign policy with Ukraine, told her, "You need to, you know, tweet out there that you support the President, and that all these are lies and everything else."

 

[Aglaopheme]

Obviously not to you, Chief.

I’m sure there are multiple quotes around here of notAJ posting his opinions of people that rely on insults.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Well, you have a narrative and you're going to stick with it no matter what
and you are willing to spend a lot of time looking for sources that agree with you.

But then, the same thing happened when you knew Mueller was going to absolutely
nail Trump, not one single thing was going to change your mind
that his report would lead to impeachment.
Now it's a phone call.
And disaster...

 

[Aglaopheme]

Is that all you have?
Attack is preferable to conversation.

Oh, look, here’s one now.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Again.
Is that supposed to make sense?

Well, if the Syrian government was functional and controlled all of Syria...

I think he is trying, but the "establishment" or "deep state" is resisting and bypassing him, not listening to direct orders. Or following the direct orders first, but later circumventing through other moves.. It is his 3rd time that he tried to move the troops out unsuccessfully.

I liked dagdag's explanation more.

And that your Deep State's warmongering machine is misguided, as opposed to opportunistic.

(Russia's foreign affairs minister just accused US of smuggling oil worth of 30 mn $ out of Syria every month. Fake news and anti-US propaganda? Who knows...)

Yea, people fighting and dying for their own freedom for a change.

SDF as in PKK/YPG? The same forces that US declined to ally with, when Turkey invaded?
I don't understand.

 

[dagdag]

Can we now agree that this was not a disaster in the making?

 

[dagdag]

I don't understand.

There is a wrong inherent policy which was established during the previous administration utilizing a terrorist organization to fight another terrorist group. Conventional, traditional methods include state actors, and at some point we are going to defer to those methods.

 

[schism666]

Can we now agree that this was not a disaster in the making?

no we cannot. we can say that there are too many people too dumb to acknowledge it though.

 

[jaF0]

Where were the Katyusha rockets launched from?

Angered at EU, Turkey threatens to release IS prisoners

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday issued a veiled threat suggesting Turkey could release the Islamic State group prisoners it holds and send them to Europe, angered at a EU decision to impose sanctions on his country over its drilling for gas in Mediterranean waters off Cyprus.

Speaking to reporters before a visit to the United States, Erdogan also said Turkey would continue repatriating foreign Islamic State militants to their home countries, even if those countries decline to take them back.

“You should revise your stance toward Turkey, which at the moment holds so many IS members in prison and at the same time controls those in Syria,” Erdogan warned European nations, a day after the EU unveiled a system to sanction Turkey.

He added: “These gates will open and these IS members who have started to be sent to you will continue to be sent. Then you can take care of your own problem.”

Asked to comment on the reports, Erdogan said: “Whether they are stuck there at the border it doesn’t concern us. We will continue to send them. Whether they take them or not, it is not our concern.”

Extortion. Definitely sounds like a Trump/Putin kinda guy.

Has the "disaster" started yet?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Has the "disaster" started yet?

^^^ "Immediate gratification" is a telltale trait of first-generation boomers.

Why not ask a Kurd?

Seen those photos yet of the Russian flag flying proudly over what were American outposts as recently as last month? Fills you with Russian pride, doesn't it? Ruskies triumphed without a single American death. Sure, the Kurds took it in the shorts, but that's a sacrifice Trump was willing to take to preserve his income stream in Turkey.

Has the "disaster" started yet?

Are you really this stupid and hyperpartisan?

Yes. Yes, you are.
