Trump inner monologue (not a verbatim transcript): "What could I say today that would change the narrative from impeachment? Perhaps there are allies in the world I could betray...that would certainly change the narrative! I'll suggest betraying them, get everyone all riled up and distracted, then we can engage on that topic, I'll say the media misrepresented my plans, attack them for getting it wrong, and we'll be sufficiently distracted for a few days."Just one caveat- this might be a trial balloon.
I would not be shocked if Trump tells us in the next few days that he never meant to withdraw ALL troops and never immediately and this is all fake news etc.
That is his modus operandiJust one caveat- this might be a trial balloon.

Such a good use of time and resources.That is his modus operandi
The thing about trial balloons is they become an actual thing if people don’t shoot them down.Just one caveat- this might be a trial balloon.

Make a statement that on its face is horrifying, deliberately withholding important info, knowing that the details are far less severe so that he can come back and say no, no you have it all wrong fake news?That is his modus operandi
That’s the GOP’s excuse. However the White House put out an actual official statement on this.Just one caveat- this might be a trial balloon.

I get why people say this - because its what Trump does.I'm a bit late, but I'd bet every dollar Trump lost that he did this to try and deflect from his other crimes and abuses, and now he just abandoned a pretty major ally in the region. Can we step up the impeachment/removal process now?
Side note: Mythbusters disproved the bull in a china shop bit. Trump is the whale in the swimming pool.I get why people say this - because its what Trump does.
But, at the same time - THIS IS WHAT TRUMP DOES.
Is there an ally in the world that Trump has not abandoned, in some fashion?
This man is wholly unfit for the office - it has nothing to do with Politics. He is the proverbial (literal?) bull in the china shop. Even this move - I get wanting to withdraw US troops from the region - but you do it responsibly. You work with your own military. You work with your allies. You protect those, who have protected you. You don't get an itch up your ###, and just start moving military pieces around.
Yep. I suggested he could be labeled a war criminal for taking children from their parents and throwing them all in cages. This puts it over the top. We haven't heard much about those people lately with everything going on. The fact that Trump suggested we shoot them in the legs makes me believe some horrible things.I'm a bit late, but I'd bet every dollar Trump lost that he did this to try and deflect from his other crimes and abuses, and now he just abandoned a pretty major ally in the region.

I somehow forgot about him doing that, now I'm even madder at his rampant idiocy. Get this guy out of office!Somebody l

Trump knows more than the generals so his supporters are more than fine with him going by his gut. who needs cooperation, planning and preparations with the Deep State and our allies?This man is wholly unfit for the office - it has nothing to do with Politics.

Thats a fair point. I had forgotten about his great and unmatched wisdom.Trump knows more than the generals so his supporters are more than fine with him going by his gut. who needs cooperation, planning and preparations with the Deep State and our allies?
This is the reason that Mattis resigned.
Don’t think that guy is around anymore. You’d have to ask a mod.Can we update the thread title ?
Maybe he just did it to rile up the media and some others who seem to care about geopolitical destabilization.jomar said:I'm sure Trump was just kidding, somebody tell Lindsay
This thread has been on this board longer than you have.TripItUp said:This thread title is ridiculous.
Trump never backs down. He doubles down. Even if he has to double down in a way that changes course, he is still doubling down and coming across as decisive and leaderly.Trump will back down by the end of day.
He sometimes does by claiming that he really didn't mean what he said or it was fake news made up by the enemy of people media.Trump never backs down. He doubles down. Even if he has to double down in a way that changes course, he is still doubling down and coming across as decisive and leaderly.
SaintsInDome2006 said:It's been a moving target for me, but while I've wavered between anti-nationalism, anti-corruption, anti-authoritarianism (and pro everything that defends against it), I think I'm moving back towards anti-stupid as maybe the most important factor here. I mean, GAH! these people running the administration are stupid.
Thought so too (see my earlier post) but apparently we've already abandoned our positions. And Turkey is preparing to move in within a few days.Trump will back down by the end of day.
He appears to be functionally illiterate.This obviously is the least important part of his tweets, but it drives me crazy how many commas and exclamation points he uses.
Plz change to “Trump’s decision to abandon our Kurdish allies and turn Syria over to Russia, Iran, and Turkey will put every radical Islamist on steroids. Shot in the arm to the bad guys. Devastating for the good guys“TripItUp said:Can we update the thread title ?
He does what he can with his 5th grade vocabulary.He appears to be functionally illiterate.
yea please update it to trump is going to get the kurds killedTripItUp said:Can we update the thread title ?
Oh how I missed the FBG libsyea please update it to trump is going to get the kurds killed
i take it you are fine with his policy to abandon our allies? and for the record....tons of gop honks have criticized the move as well......Oh how I missed the FBG libs
Golly what would a conservative say about abandoning defense commitments to allies.Oh how I missed the FBG libs
Not really upset, just pointing out the misleading language.This is what gets you upset?
Ao you came in here to complain about the thread title rather than to discuss what is happening?Not really upset, just pointing out the misleading language.
Im wealthy, live in San Diego, have a beautiful girlfriend and don’t have to work to hard. It’s pretty tough for me to get upset these days.
