Hear, hear and well said, Joe.

Currently, you're just about the only normal empathetic human being commenting here!

The Nazis even after steamrolling Europe! Eventually lost all they'd gained and earned a reputation as inhuman murdering monsters for one reason and one reason only!

They, like so many of our calloused and totally indifferent posters, lacked even so much of a trace of normal human empathy. And the only missing element that allowed them to conceive and perform so many inhuman atrocities!

The fact that so many of our (extreme right) regular resident posters can just yawn at the 12,000 lives the kurd gave protecting us and ours from the most murderous entity ever dreamed into existence! Speaks quite massive volumes about those indifferent posters! And none of it the least bit complimentary!

These morons couldn't find their feet in the dark with a torch! But then what can you expect? When to a generic man they can and do support a coward/garbage like a draft dodgingTrump?
Cheers, Alan B.

It's encouraging that the West can still produce a political leader who puts his own people and country ahead of sh.tholes, as he aptly describes them. Donald Trump has already accomplished about 17O of his electoral pledges, which have seen outstanding economic growth, job growth, increased manufacturing, lower taxes - you name it, he has done it. Huge improvements for women and minorities (which Left loons studiously ignore). And he is standing up to Communist China, unlike other Western pissants. He has dealt with ISIS, and he now rightly feels that people who have been bludging on the US should take more responsibility for themselves.

All of this has earned him the hatred and envy of snivelling Leftists, who are as of much concern to him as a midge is to an elephant.

Australia needs to clean up its act, too. Stop exporting jobs and importing useless people; start spending real money on defence; get out of the Paris agreement; stop indulging Leftist layabouts and unruly mobs; stop thinking that China thinks of us as anything more than another tinpot Pacific island, and look for markets elsewhere. There is not enough space for the things Australia must do to regain prosperity and self-respect.

Bother ourselves with a few backward tribes in the Middle East? Rubbish!

The tragedy for the US is that it has worthless turds on the right and worthless turds on the left, and not many politicians working for the broad centre.

Weird. Do both the idiot right and the idiot left actually WANT an End of Days, an Armageddon ? Starting with their abandonment of our most precious and reliable of allies, the Kurds ? Bringing back ISIS ?

And the 'left' wants - what ? Leninist socialism, the nationalisation of businesses and property, the turning of agricultural land into communes ? And so much other stupidities, which have been tried again and again and failed again and again ?

What a stinking swamp - two swamps - the US has become.

Joe

There is no point in us all attacking each others opinions.
We are all concerned about what is happening and none of us knows what
to do for the worse.
I think that sooner or later it had to come to this.
They are all fighting because either they disapprove of the others
version of Islam, or because they are not Arabs but Turks or Armenians
or whatever you can think that is wrong with the others.

Seeing that it has been done then lets confirm it and make it clear
that never again will a ME government be supported militarily or
financially and from now on they have to sort out their own problems.

Hopefully when they realise they are on their own it may cause a change of behavior.

Bazz,

Sensible comments. We should leave them to it. Past interference with other cultures has gone very badly for us; Australia, with the "refugees" resulting from our politicians' meddling in things they don't understand will never be the same again.

Refugees are costly to settle. Many have language difficulties; many are low-skilled, bring culturally-clashing values, and remain a drain on taxpayers and public services. Yet political points are often scored on the “virtue” of bringing in more refugees. Tellingly, refugees are usually settled outside of the enclaves of their enthusiastic supporters.

I think it could be equally said that the Kurds were using the US as a source of cheap/free weapons to enable them to settle a few centuries old grudges, they have longed to settle for decades.

Of one thing I am bloody sure, they weren't doing anything for the US or us, they were settling old scores.

If ever anyone was interested is studying the results of multiculturalism, look no further than the middle east. If still in doubt about the disaster multiculturalism is, then have a look at Sri Lanka.
