Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
The bullshit we were doing in Syria was stupid. From the start I didn't think we should go in there. I've said let Turkey handle it. It is literally their neighbor.
If we did go in, we needed to go in big, which we never did. I think we had a MEU in there for a little bit at one point.
I think we should be focusing our attention more on Mexico. More on South America. You know, OUR neighbors.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
Putin likely can't believe his luck" at Trump's withdrawal of US troops from the Kurdish region on the border of Syria and Turkey, a Western military official from the anti-ISIS coalition told Insider.
Syrian troops entering Kurdish-held Rojava represents a massive victory for not only Syrian dictator Assad, but also Putin and the Iranians, who had long demanded the Americans withdraw from the corridor that links northern Iraq to eastern Syria.
"Putin continues to get whatever he wants and generally doesn't even have to do much," a NATO official told Insider. "He got to sit back and watch the Turks and the Americans unravel five years of success and not only did it not cost him anything, he didn't even have to try to make it happen. Small wonder he'd interfere on Trump's side in an election."
In an October 6 phone call, Erdogan appeared to call Trump's opposition to the plan. After telling the US president that a planned Turkish military operation would go ahead, Trump abruptly ordered the withdrawal of US forces from the region.
But according to Axios, even Erdogan was surprised by how quickly Trump acceded to his demands. He had expected Trump to push back and to broker a compromise, the news site reported.
The political elite demand that poor people send their children to third world countries to die in while they send their children to Ukraine to get rich. Both sides have now come together to get people to forget about this and say Trump is somehow the bad guy here.
