During their war Iraq was ruled by the Sunni Baath party. Today Iraq has received support from Iran in the fight against ISIS. The enemy (Iran) of my enemy (ISIS) is my friend, especially when we share the same values. Next time I will ask you about this stuff Sunni rather than later. Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I hope every country in the middle east kicks our troops out that way none of them have to die fighting for Saudi Arabia. 4 1 Link to comment

Sanctions on Iraq for making another country’s troops leave? We’re there because they allow us to be, not because it’s our right. They’re a sovereign country and have every right to ask us to leave. I question them kicking us out, and think there’s a high chance they’ll regret it, but this is utterly f#&%ing insane. 1 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Going to be interesting to see how foreign policy by tweet works out. Anybody who thinks Trump has the skillset to succeed at long, drawn-out conflicts that require a lot of planning, attention to detail, patience and willingness to make unpopular decisions is laughably naive. 1 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 What if all our Trump 2020 voters found their keyboards and explained why all of this is what they wanted out of 45. Wouldn't that be swell? 2 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 From the Bold Predictions for 2020 thread. I didn't anticipate this in bold happening so soon. But with this admin we are never far from crazy. Quote International: 1. Trump signs 'DEALS" with China on trade and wt NK on nuclear in OCTOBER - trying to create his own October surprise. Both deals favor China and NK and Trump personally. NK agrees to let Trump build a casino/hotel complex on the warm, winter, beaches of eastern NK (Trump doesn't know geography and thinks NK is warm in the winter). China creates a special loophole for Ivanka's products to sell in China. 2. We are still talking about Brexit in Dec. 3. US turns the guarding of the Syrian oil fields over to our 'friends' the Turks and the Russians. Iraq asks the US to pull out all troops from their country. Afgan follows 3 months later. The void gives Russia influence from India to the boarders of Israel. 4. One of the G-8 leaders dies suddenly in office from an illness. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This guy talks like we are talking about a bowl game. We've seen this play out before with "Little Rocket Man". Nothing has been gained. Link to comment

I think she is running for either VP or Sec of State. I agree - I use to like her also; but now that she has become a full cult member - good bye. Making stupid, baseless comments(of course on Fox "News") like that only divides and makes the case that Evan so rightly makes below. As always he is right on target: 1 Link to comment
