He ran  on a platform of getting us out of endless pointless wars. That’s what he’s doing. Who gives a fuck if a few Republican disagree?

The Military Industrial Complex wants us involved in endless wars.

The Middle East is a good place for that. 

There's still millions of people to kill over there and lots of stuff to blow up.

Leader Mitch has now warned Trump that the senate does NOT back his Syria pullout.

Hey chunk - you want to go fight those dirty disgusting smelly pos rats?

I hate war. It examples how uncivilized humans continue to be. This being said, I am not qualified to know which conflicts the U.S. should get or stay involved in. Sadly, I predict wars will continue to happen.

OK, but he's not a king or dictator.
The US is governed by a lil' thing called the constitution and
has 3 co-equal branches.

In summary, Trump can't run the country alone.



Was war declared there? If so, I must’ve missed it. If it’s just troops there, He has the right to pull them out. From my understanding, he’s the Commander in Chief.

The President pardons a Turkey at Thanksgiving.

This seems more like a reply to my post because I mentioned war. Occupation, conflict or war are close cousins.

Previous Commanders in Chief seek advice before taking action. Trump says he "talked to everyone". Although I find this difficult to believe, if he did talk to everyone, there's little chance he listened to them.

How will Trump destroy Turkey's economy?  Will we stop buying turkeys from them?

Thanksgiving is coming and that could put a hurting on them.

We do give them around $150 million in humanitarian aid or so each year.

We have an airbase there (Incirlik) so we must pump a lot of $$ into that.  Tactical nukes are stored there.

Turkey has sometimes retaliated by preventing our use of the base (which we built). 

The Turks are often jerks.

I disagree with Trump on this one.
It seems to be the cool thing nowadays to refer to people as warmongers/globalists if they don't believe that we should be pulling our troops out from everywhere. Similar to the left calling people racists.

There are valid reasons to want/need troops in various places throughout the world.

He has been very good in international affairs but I think his council is not so good recently in regards to this.

I was speaking to 3 guys at the gym last night about this.  One is from Egypt, one from Syria and the other from Turkey.  All 2 were glad that Trump pulled out.  They said the USA needs to stay out of everyone business.

That's weird.  I think I talked to the same guys in addition to 4th guy who was from Lebanon.  The guy from Lebanon agreed with the pull out.  Small world.
