Wow, a stunning break. Trump wanted to cooperate with the Russians on ISIS. Its over for him. Whats the next shoe to drop? Are we going to learn that Trump wanted to cooperate with the Chinese on North Korea? Its over for Trump. Can things go any lower? What does this mean for our relationship with Russia? Is it time to call up Hillary Clinton so that she can hit the 'Reset' button and fix things? https://www.yahoo.com/gma/michael-f...lying-fbi-150704642--abc-news-topstories.html Flynn prepared to testify that Trump directed him to contact Russians about ISIS, confidant says
I am shocked that a guy who ran on a platform of improving relations with Russia and working with them on ISIS did this. Quick, someone get John McCain's take on this.
So Putin invades neighboring countries, destabilizes large portions of the planet (often at the economic expense of US, as well as others) and the fact that Trump wanted to "improve relations" is a good thing? Amazing. Someone else might call it either complete weakness or corruption.
If you were to understand what happened in Syria and Libya you might understand. Obama and Clinton were supporting the "moderate" terrorists opposing Assad This was how they created Isil... they armed Isis because these moderates became Isil. (And when Clinton decided to have ghadaffi toppled she helped create a flood of refugees. ) Trump was against this stupidity. There was no reason to continue to arm Isis and continue to antagonize Russia. By simply no longer arming those opposing Assad Trump was already easing tensions with Russia and fighting Isil. Apparently some in the deep state, Obama and Hillary hated Trump for exhibiting this sanity. For some reason they way wanted a fight with Russia and they did not mind arming Isis. For some reason Obama and Jarrett loved Iran and Isis and was wiling to give Iran billions in euros and other money and protection to further their missile and nuke program. Hillary too. Oh yeah and Obama loved the Muslim botherhood... and hillary's lover's family was big in the Muslim Brotherhood.
I don’t follow you at all. My point is that Russia was never fighting ISIL in any significant way. That is simply a myth. I don’t know if Trump believed this was possible because the Russians played him or if he just doesn’t understand Russia.
I don't blame you lefties for not really understanding this deep state hatred of Trump and Russia. you have to go outside our typical media to find useful critiques of how fucked up Clinton and Obama and our CIA were over there. I am not saying I know what was 100 percent actually going on. But, I am saying much of this country has had the wool pulled over their eyes if they think this is all trumps fault. and by the way I am not happy with Trump at all right now. He is currently performing worse than Jeb Bush would have. Assads opposition was at times Isis and al queda type terrorists... Russia was fighting them... but ... there are articles about Isis fighers being bussed into Syria to fight. but this one also explains a bit of what was going on. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...te-syria-assad-forces-recapture-town-okeirbat With Assad's fate secure, Russia sets its sights on Isis fighters in Syria ... Russia entered the conflict on the side of Assad’s government in September 2015 at a time when the regime looked close to falling. Although Moscow’s stated goal has always been to defeat Isis, during the first year of engagement the majority of Russian airstrikes targeted other opposition groups, including those supported by western countries. Russia’s long-standing policy in the Middle East has been that retaining the status quo, however unpleasant the regime may be, is always better than revolution, and the Russian intervention appeared designed to shore up the Assad regime at any cost. With Assad now looking more secure, Russia has indeed begun battling Isis. On Thursday, Moscow launched seven cruise missiles at Isis targets south-east of Deir ez-Zor, and said the militants would soon be pushed to the other side of the Euphrates river. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...three-day-deir-ez-zor-offensive-a7035611.html The Syrian army claims to have killed more than 200 Isis militants in a three-day assault on the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor. A spokesperson for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) said Isis is thought to have suffered the heavy casualties as it struggled to maintain control over the western district of the provincial capital. The number was reported by the Al-Masdar news agency, though it cannot be independently verified and Isis releases no information on casualties.
Is anyone surprised that the leftists are concerned that we are trying to stop ISIS and other Islamic fundamentalists? That's their base.
