    Not entirely true as we had spec ops on the grounding assaulting, particularly in Syria.

    But the idea was to aid with intelligence, air support, advice and assistance, etc but leave the fighting to the Kurds and the Iraqi's.

    What are you talking about. Russia had invaded Ukraine, isis was running at large, Russia was having its way with Assad in Syria, China had invaded the South China Sea and set up military forces...NK was lobbying nukes...the world was literally burning..and could get the US to look the other way by simply donating to the Clinton Foundation....not anymore...you’re comment is laughable

    Russia is still in Ukraine. Russia and Assad are even stronger in Syria now than they were. China is still building bases in the South China Sea. North Korea is still building nukes and missiles.

    Yes but we are arming the Ukrainians, they are shooting down airlines, NK is talking peace and not lobbying nukes, China isn’t building new bases, Assad and Putin have been punished for crossing the red line...major differences

    NK walked away from peace talks and reopened their test site. Trump rewarded them today by removing sanctions.

    China is most definitely building new bases.

    And the “punishment” of Putin and Assad put an airfield out of action for nearly 24 hours. Wow. Don’t slap their wrists so hard Donald!

    No they didn’t...we walked away...sanction are still in place we have eased some, that’s what happens when you are improving relations.

    Negative on China

    Yes we bombed them...Obama invited putin in when they crossed his red line...making the problem much worst. Horrible leadership

    So North Korea isn’t “talking peace” and you knew that. So why did you make that claim?

    When I post links to China building new bases in the South China Sea will you admit that you are too ignorant on this topic and are just mindlessly defending Trump with untrue bullshit? Note: I read Jane’s everyday. They’ve been tracking the Chinese build up for years.

    How exactly did the “punishment” of Assad or Putin do anything?

    Because it’s not done...we are still in peace talks..we just walked away from the last summit because trump wasn’t willing to life all sanctions

    Sure you if you post a link, and I’m wrong, I’ll admit it

    You don’t know what happens when bombs go off? They haven’t used WMDs since

    Exactly where are these ongoing peace talks? Who is at the table?

    https://www.janes.com/article/81904...ut-growing-chinese-control-in-south-china-sea

    As of July 2018, China was still building and expanding its bases in the South China Sea.

    Why does Assad need to continue to use WMDs when Putin has massively furnished him with effective conventional weapons? Are the Syrian civilians Assad murders with GLONASS guided bombs less dead than if they were killed with chlorine gas?

    And for over two years now U.S. Marines have been conducting WW ll style amphibious training assaults against heavily defended beachheads in the Mariana Islands and in Japan.

    I'm aware of a half dozen if these amphibious training assault that have taken place over the past couple of years and I'm sure there were more that I'm not aware of.

    What heavily defended beachhead? The islands would get multiple visits from cruise missiles and bunker buster bombs before the Marines ever arrived.

    These islands aren’t Iwo Jima. They are made out of dredged sand and concrete. You can’t exactly put deep bunker complexes on them.

    Nice Island.

    Be a shame if something happened to it.

    Don't confuse them with the facts. Explaining foreign policy to people who can't find Syria on a map is pointless. They have their AM radios.
