It’s been debated for the better part of 4 yrs in gop circles the damage that Trump is capable of doing to our national security - the consensus among gop elected officials and national security types is US can survive 4 years but not 8. This would be the moment to say that out loud.

We must always have the backs of our allies, if we expect them to have our back. The Kurds were instrumental in our successful fight against ISIS in Syria. Leaving them to die is a big mistake.

so you like Nikki Haley now?
if she and Mattis think it's bad, that’s about enough for me. unless he got assurances from turkey that they wouldn’t invade, and no one is saying he did that.
Haley will likely run in 2024. she appreciates your support.

Nikki Haley, like the Marine I mentioned, doesn't set policy. Using your logic, there's no value in your bringing her up. |

Not having a clue is not an insult its a fact
President George W. Bush who signed the Status of Forces agreement in 2008, which planned for all American troops to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.
State Department's lawyers said troops couldn't stay in Iraq unless the Iraqi parliament authorized them to do so, including granting them immunity from Iraqi law. The Iraqi parliamentarians would never OK such a decision, with Iraqi popular opinion staunchly against U.S. troops staying.
So we left.
What happened next was on them
As for next 4 years not sure what your talking about.. my comments were directed at your incorrect Iraq comments
