Thanks mhaze very much
Indy while some doubt exists I think you can do better than that
The address if not my link is able to be seen
Try reading what others/the real world thinks
Some are holding their breath waiting to give me a serve if Trump does not fall
12 months is a long time, and even in his own party fears about him are held
It truth this once strong punter thinks it is odds on he just can not keep ducking and dodging
Constant lies are noticeable even by his supporters

Good point about the meaning of democracy, Mhaze.

But I'm puzzled about your writing-off of the Kurds. If they formed a single state, it would have a population of around 35 million, larger than Syria's or Iraq's would be. So they're not just some piss-ant group of hicks. Of course, Turkey will get stuck into them, with Trump's implicit blessing. Assad is already attacking Kurdish positions, but at least he can claim that it's all part of Syria which he is currently head of. What will be Turkey's excuse for being in Syria, attacking Kurds ?

Let's remember that Kurds are not Arabs; they're not Turks; they're not Iranians [Persians]. They're Kurds, related to other small groups in that region from the Mediterranean across to the Caucasus and the Zagros mountains, and well down into Iraq. They've been there for more than ten thousand years, and their ancestors may have been the original 'first farmers' (so most Europeans would be descended from their ancestors too) . As far as I can tell, they haven't ever aggressed against anybody else - well, maybe, because Salah-ud-Dinn (Saladin) was a Kurd, from Tikrit in central Iraq. But at the time, back in the twelfth century, he was an 'honorary' Arab.

We'll see, Mhaze, about Turkish aggression. They may need a pretext, such as the infiltration of arms by the 'pro-communist KPP/YPG' (you know, the mob that's done so much of the fighting against ISIS) into peaceful south-east Turkey, but a few timely bombing atrocities could provide one too. What the hell, one genocide a century ago could be used as the template for another in 2019.

Cheers,

Joe

I think Trump pulling out of Syria is a huge mistake, ISIS, the Turks and Russians are winding up to have a crack at the Kurds as soon as they lose their protection.

Belly and other Trump critics, your problem is you look at the problem and see how it is now without realizing the problem was around long before Trump.

Blinded by the actions that are needed now because previous gutless presidents kicked the can down the road without doing anything, North Korea, illegal immigration, you name the rest.

He is kicking the can with the increase in debt but maybe he will do something I believe he has meetings with the Federal Reserve boss (private bank).

Modified version other one was like a kids game and did not express the gravity of the inherited situations.

One thing does seem his problem when the Republicans had the majority in Congress why did they not pass the funding for the wall.

Maybe it is strategic to try to force your opposition the Democrats to pass the funding bill.

Philip Trump Thrives on having an opponent, he and his followers will blame Democrats but this time it will not work
He should have passed his money bill ,if his side agree with him
No one ever can know why each of us think as we do
And the mind reading effort about my reasons is, well quite silly
Considered thought, public opinion, closely monitoring international press build my view
