Trump and Turkey

In the last few weeks I have seen and heard a ton of chatter on regular and social media, chastising President Trump about his decision to pull back a couple dozen troops from The Syrian border. The claims are that he is abandoning our Kurdish allies in the region. Let’s get things straight.

First of all, the Turkish incursion in northern Syria, with approximately fifteen thousand troops was inevitable. Our fifty or so support troops would have been left in harm’s way, in a foreign country that they have no business being in the first place. 

Secondly, we have already lost over two thousand good American lives in the region, and three trillion dollars in the past twelve years. 

Third, it is the Democrats that have put us there to begin with, through a series of blunders. It was under John Kerry’s advice (Democrat Secretary of State) serving under President Bush, that we invaded Iraq under false pretences. Where, by the way, The Kurds ran away like rabbits, rather than help the U.S. military. Then, under Hillary Clinton’s tenure, during the Obama administration, our military was used to assassinate Momar Qudafi in Libya, creating a power vacuum to allow I.S.I.S. to gain a foothold in the region, not to mention the whole Benghazi failure and tragedy.

The fourth thing, I didn’t see this kind of outrage when President Obama suddenly withdrew thousands of troops from the region, leaving not only The Kurds, but left behind millions of dollars of military equipment, including M-1 Abrams tanks, giving I.S.I.S even more leeway and the equipment to kill even more of our soldiers, as well as The Kurds, when the group captured the dam and set fire to the oil fields.

Then there was “The Red Line” ultimatum that President Obama gave to the Syrian leader Assad warning him not to use chemical weapons and that “Red Line” was crossed. Nothing was done about it, at the expense of thousands of Syrian’s lives.   

When I see and hear this kind of absolutely foolish outrage about President Trump actually doing something to protect our troops for a change, it’s beyond laughable, it’s pathetic. Seeing people’s posts on social media embracing the MSNBC propaganda machine is so sad. They are so desperately trying to be part of the imposed narrative of the Trump hater crowd, that they lose their own rational free will of thought. I have even seen postings of these pathetic rants from Gold Star Family members.

I suggest everyone takes a good look at how we got here, before they leap onto that MSNBC bandwagon!

President Trump and N.A.T.O.

Not five minutes after a news conference with Donald Trump and the N.A.T.O. General, A.B.C. spun the situation into oblivion. President Trump attempting to bring peace and stability through a cooperative effort with N.A.T.O. is called a “flip flopper”, by A.B.C. news and the usual spin is set in motion by the politically biased news network. Martha Radisson and George Stephanopoulos have such a reckless blinding hatred for the president, that even when he takes action that any Democrat would be proud of, they can’t help but to fall over themselves to look stupid.

President Trump is clearly making a concerted effort to correct the damage done by the lying and deceptions of the previous administration. You know, like “you can keep your doctor” or “we have made certain that all the chemical weapons in Syria have been destroyed”.

The “hands off” approach by the Obama administration have plunged Syria into civil war, allowed Russia to gain a dangerous foothold in the country, perpetuating the unlawful behavior of Bashar Al-Assad, and failed to curb any activities from China, like currency manipulation and unfair trade practices.

North Korea is on the verge of having a deliverable nuke, aimed at the U.S., with Iran not far behind them. All the while the absence of the main stream media, blinded by their infatuation of an African-American president, that has left America on the brink of a world war conflict between I.S.I.S, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and even Iraq, for abandoning the citizens there, completely bailing on America’s commitment in the region to help them establish a Democratic society.

Where are the compassionate liberals when it comes to this reckless foreign policy that has left hundreds of thousands murdered and displaced, all of which falls on Obama’s shoulders. This doesn’t even touch the domestic disaster left in Obama’s wake. If President Trump can even come close to solving a tenth of the disastrous problems left from the previous administration, he should not be hailed a hero, but a miracle worker, at a level almost of divinity.

Missile Launch in Syria

Those critical of President Trump for launching a targeted missile strike in Syria need to first look at the whole picture. When it was first reported that chemical weapons were used in Syria, on Tuesday, April 4th, an emergency meeting should have take place at The United Nations to approve of intervention to halt and prevent further use of these weapons.

The use of chemical and biological weapons is banned by international law, of which Syria has agreed to. As usual the United Nations has failed to meet its obligation on the world’s stage. Since America is the most prominent funder of the United Nations, President Trump was not only authorized to launch the strike, but should be hailed as a hero for taking on the responsibility, where the overfunded and underperforming United Nations failed.

These stuffed shirt Congressmen and women have nothing to do with this action. The United Nations was created for just this purpose, to conglomerate a unilateral response to these types of bad actors from all the participating nations of the United Nations. If the United Nations can’t adequately respond to a situation as serious as this one before a single nation has to act, then it should be dissolved in favor of a more proactive entity.
