Our Air Force bases in th region are based inside Turkey!!!Our Air Force could maintain the border with Turkey and have prevented erdogog from invading Syria and decimating the Kurds.
Then it would really easy to bomb them.Our Air Force bases in th region are based inside Turkey!!!
Thee only people in the middle east worth fighting for are the Kurds, they are or I should say were our only real allies in the entire middle east apart from Israel... They alone bore the brunt of the blood loss in taking down ISIS and traded over 10,000 souls so that many a US service man or woman didnt have to bleed on that worthless sand (that is also in lieu of the 10's up 10's of thousands of Kurdish men women and children killed in the past decades). Without their sacrifices as our cannon fodder we would have shipped a lot more body bags home draped with American flags... History will repeat itself time and time again till we realize the boogeyman is real and evil on the same scale as Hitler exists in almost every corner of the world except in our back yard because we choose to take the fight to them on their own ground. That projection of force keeps your wives and children from being torn and blown to bits - a trade off in tranquility that many on this planet beg for every night. The value of our dead... measured in every free breath we take was in part shared/bought by a bunch of Kurds we will never know. What we have done is beyond, F I dont have the words... I could vomit... It is so sad that our politics have degraded to the point that we hate the liberals so much that the only idiot we can prop up out of 329,064,917 people is that fool. I shake my head everyday and fear for what my son will face in the future when the far left and far right continue to run this country on a 4 year roller coaster ride from hell back and forth -- steamrolling the rest of us in the middle. I would love to just leave those people stone themselves back into the dark ages but we feed off their oil and if left alone we will see more than just a couple towers fall; an isolationist approach to the middle east would have worked 100 years ago when they only rode camels. Not now. I am just sick and ashamed. I had to vent and I choose to do it after reading the posts. I guess I have always been willing to live with a little blood on my hands when I pump cheap gas at the pumps but as I have gotten older just knowing with every squeeze of the nozzle some kid is ripped apart on the other side of the planet - well its starting to bother me. There has to be a better answer. That being said Im going to the fruit tree section to chill out.

I feel like I change my mind every 15 minutes in some way in regards to this topic so I'm not trying to wade into the argument here.
They need to look at the ownership of the media outlets. Over the last 20 years ownership has narrowed and there is less diversification of reporting and therefore a narrowing of information.One thing is very clear; the last 3 yrs have shown just how deceitful and misleading the major news networks are. For all the hatred of Trump (for his supposed lies and corruption) there should be outrage for the manipulations that news propagates every day. The hipocracy of the American people is amazing. Pick and choose who gets to lie to the people and who you are mad at for doing it. Eyes wide shut!
