  1. “In my great and unmatched wisdom….I will totally obliterate and destroy the Economy of Turkey” Ok champ – off you go then…this is your cue

    1. @Daniel Kang At least this time Republicans are showing a little bit of spine. For how long though is anyone’s guess.

    2. TheDesertsweeper : Putin gets Syria, and uses a NATO, “ally,” to mop up, so he and Assad don’t get blood on their hands. You gotta’ hand it to Putin? He REALLY knows what he’s doing, right? This is what you can accomplish, when you have all these Puppet Kings, including Donny . . . SMH ✌️👍

  2. Everywhere you look the current administration is disgusting. Just when you think they can’t go any lower, hold my beer.

    1. easy if you don’t like Turkey to create the safe zone, you can take the 5 million Syrian refugees the real owners of northern Syria who evacuated their land and homes and occupied by kurds living now for 7 years in Turkey to your own countries

    2. sorry, my arms are full, holding the worlds beers.and holding back the tears.our troops and the kurds are gifts from trump,for what,is the question.

    1. Dittzx : Putin gets Syria, and uses a NATO, “ally,” to mop up, so he and Assad don’t get blood on their hands. You gotta’ hand it to Putin? He REALLY knows what he’s doing, right? This is what you can accomplish, when you have all these Puppet Kings, including Donny . . . SMH ✌️👍

    2. after the disastrous visit by the finland president,no decent leader will come to the white house.but trumps hosting erogan,at taxpayers expense of course,we will put erogan up at trump towers,best suite of course.it will be beautiful, perfect,youll see,words quoted from a fool.

  3. A tragically cruel, mean spirited, vindictive loser of a subhuman. Aside from all the fake talk about being a good, perfect least prejudiced person his actions sure are sickening. A fake, shallow, hollow waste of human skin. Repugnant. Am I being too kind?

    1. In Ontario, Fabricland was told they can only buy product from the United States.

      That wasn’t a trade war.

  4. This is the second time he got off the phone with Erdogan and said to pull out. Mad dog Mattis quits, others quit, trump is pushed back. A year later same thing. Why won’t he listen to his generals?

    1. Because trump thinks he knows more then the Generals, and He alone can fix it! Stable 🐺 genius knows it all !# Sad

  5. Of course Turkey launched an attack. Trump gave them the green light. Trump is using the power of his office to help his Instnbul, Turkey 2 Trump Tower investments. He pays Putin off for all the Russian interference in the 2016 election and pre-pays for more of the same in the 2020 election. He’s only traded genocide for the illegal aid he needs.

  6. Republicans made a truly insignificant stink about this decision on Trump’s part before jumping back into their oh poor Trump the Democrats are going after him whine & excuse focus. Never mind what he’s doing and how much this negatively effects the long range safety of America. Trump definitely needs to go .. the sooner the better.

    1. Russia is busy with its problems and tasks… The US should do the same… the world is changing, and the leader may not be Russia and the United States.

    1. easy if you don’t like Turkey to create the safe zone, you can take the 5 million Syrian refugees the real owners of northern Syria who evacuated their land and homes and occupied by kurds living now for 7 years in Turkey to your own countries

    2. @Mehmet Pekiyi you forget to mention that those people are mainly from a different part of Northern Syria. And you forget that the zone was safe and quiet, but that going in, guns blazing, is not making a safe zone. It created another batch of regugees. Nice try sultan Mehmet.

    1. daniel cornett : Confirmed. How is THAT NOT the Headline, though? I mean, WOW! Who else gets a COUNTRY for their Birthday? . . . SMH 👍

    2. No !!! This blood is on our hands !!!! We help put him there , either by Vote or by not voting , being complacent !!!! Not looking at the larger picture .. why would you want to help someone who abandoned you in the middle of anything ?

    3. @Eric Pelote It’s TRUE! We didn’t help put Trump in office. Republicans and Putin put him there. Hillary won popular vote by 3million plus votes. Repugnicants have the blood on their hands and his sick base. Don’t include everyone in your asinine comment.

    1. @Juan Rivera well maybe because it is there land, and have the right to live there in isreal they will never be allowed to go in

    2. you don’t wanna know how many were killed already by America, change the vote to someone who will not listen to the generals, military industry, etc. it is simple to solve but america is defied in all little groups, that was for a reason.

  7. Trump should be there , fleeing for his life with the kurds and feel the consequences of his actions. Such an evil man with no empathy for anyone other then himself

  8. Trump has no time for America’s normal allies. But corrupt regimes like the Saudis can rely on Trump’s support as long as they enrich the Trump dynasty.

    1. …if obama was doing this you would be praising him for not putting our young men and women at risk and be clammoring for another peace prize ….ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT …evolve …anyone who votes today for the candidates the bankers (SOROS ETC.) have chosen for you… is wasting their time
