    They don't reform. And we are out of space at Gitmo.

    Bullets are cheap and rope is the green option.

    Don't go that route. Keep it legal.

    Yes he is behaving like Putin but what can we expect from Putin's trained Pavlov Dog!

    This attack on a US ally the Kurds is exactly what Putin wanted and the Syrian Rusuan trained dog wanted. This is a betrayal of a US ally that has not been matched since we betrayed the Mioa and Montagnards tribes in Vietnam.

    This looks like Putin ordered our current so called POTUS whose first name is Donald to agree that Turkey can attack our ally the Kurds.

    What other NATO countries would you like to go to combat with?

    There's a simple solution here: ask Congress to declare war.

    Except that isn't going to happen What will happen is that they will escape mainly due to the US giving the go ahead for Turkey to bomb the Kurds, and in the process, the walls of all the prisons. But you will be ok with that because you want ISIS to reform.

    Still waiting for you to say exactly what the 1000+ US troops will be doing in Saudi Arabia, will they just be sitting around watching TV?

    At the Nuremberg trials there were the accused whose respond to war crime charges was " Inwas only following order".

    If this guy ever had to stand a Nuremberg type trial he will say "I was only following Putin's orders".

    Shame on Congress for not declaring war.

    When can we expect Pelosi to convene for a vote?

    The NATO charter agreement would only take effect if the Kurds attacked Turkey. We are obligated to come to defense of a fellow NATO member country thatbis attacked. If for example the Kurds had their own country as they should have had called Kurdistan and they attacked Turkey then we would be obligated to help defend Turkey.

    Huh? You make no sense. What do you mean by "that was birth"? Whose birth? And Head Start is a federal education program, isn't it?

    Could you please articulate that reply more clearly? Thanks.

    Your image didn't come through.

    Also, warning: I've just been through a lengthy round and round with two of the mods who deleted one of my posts because it contained an emoji but no text. They pointed me to rule 15, which mentions that images are not allowed as single entries, but must be accompanied by text.

    Oh .. OK.. Thanks.. I thought the map was self explanatory since it shows the corridor all along the border that Turkey wants to control.

    You're speaking of the Reagan Doctrine.. He supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan... 1979 to 1989. The Afghan communists overthrew the monarchy in 1974... The Soviets didn't come to their aid until 1979.

    It is morally corrupt on the part of that so called POTUS whose first name is Donnie Boy. Sadly our Constitution allows a POTUS to conduct foreign policy. At least Donnie did not declare war on "Kurdistan".

    I have always been a fan of an independent Kurdistan. Currently the Kurds live in Iraq( biggest population of Kurds). in Syria, Turkey , and a small part of Iran. There maybe some just a tiny small minute part of Saudi Arabia , I forgot or was that Armenia or Azerbaijan??

    The Soviet-Russians were the entities who helped the Afghani Communists take hold of Afghanistan. In 1979 the communists were beginning to start and lose control sonthe Soviet-Russians invaded.
    My dad who was never a fan of either the Soviets, Russuans, or Communists said when the Soviet-Russians invaded " that will be those 'bastards' Vietnam."

    ISIS is not "wiped out". That is just Trumpian Fake News. ISIS faded into other parts after their so called Caliphate was dinged. ISIS is back to the terrorism that ISIS has always been doing.

    They should not be given a free hand to commit genocide of the Kurds who live in Turkey. Is that what you want? Turkey to commit genocide and kill off the Kurds living in the Kurdishstan part of Turkey?

    As much as ISIS is the worst of the worst of terrorists I would sit back and let them have it at the Assad Syrians and the Russians.
