President Trump

History says that Russian has had influence over Assad for decades. And when Assad was dropping barrel bombs on his people and using chemical weapons on them, they said nothing.

When Assad was creating a refugee crisis all over the Middle East, Moscow did nothing. Assad’s in a geographical location to cause havoc in Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. And Moscow either doesn’t care or approves of it.

To say Syria is not our concern is naive to reality in the Middle East.

Assad wasn't creating problems all over the Middle East, Iran was(and is).

No, he isn't. But you do illustrate why Europe and Japan and China should take much more responsibility in policing the area. They need Middle East oil much more than we do now.

You want to invite China to set up shop in the Middle East....

Ok. May as well, They’re already building markets in Africa.

How are you going to stop them?

Wrong.

Syrian refugees: four million people forced to flee as crisis deepens

 

[bbsam]

How are you going to stop them?

From setting up shop in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, etc.?

First I wouldn’t invite them to do so. Second I wouldn’t move American troops out.

Assad has been in power much longer than the recent crisis. And his father before him. Iran has been the leading source of terror worldwide since the '79 revolution.

Syria causing 4 million refugees into neighboring countries isn’t a crisis?

 

[vantexan]

Very telling that there's talk here about Middle East dictators causing refugees but silence about the SOCIALIST dictator Maduro in Venezuela causing millions to flee. We should worry about our backyard and leave what goes on elsewhere to others.

More than a million of them are in Europe. Europe should deal with it.

I said it's a crisis. Comprehension issues?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

I’d say Obama underestimated Putin.

It’s clear that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

You would! LOL

 

[bbsam]

I said it's a crisis. Comprehension issues?

Then why dismiss it and jump onto Iran?

That’s not a real issue. It’s an issue that two sides of the political spectrum like to fight about.

 

[bbsam]

So would you if you wanted to post honestly on the topic.

 

[vantexan]

Then why dismiss it and jump onto Iran?

I'm not, I'm saying it shouldn't be our responsibility.

 

[vantexan]

Three million refugees and growing isn't a real issue? Tens of millions trapped in a failed state isn't an issue?

not a bad idea , the more ways you split the pie the more they all go away hungry

 

[newfie]

despite our bluster I don't think we really care about Iran as long as they don't stop the flow of traffic through the strait.

the military industrial complex would of course like to see us fire off some of our expensive toys at Iran to keep the spending up

 

[newfie]

I'm not, I'm saying it shouldn't be our responsibility.

I am . I'm tired of being the world police. I like Trumps new approach less American kids getting killed more economic sanctions.

There is a logic in todays world that all world problems have to be managed by the united States. that's insane. We don't approve of Turkeys methods but let them be the turkey in the shoot .
