The Canadians who fought with them no doubt respect them and love them. That's normal. They had each others' backs. The Kurds who received the help and the training no doubt respect and love the Canadians who fought with them. Of course people in need love the people who help them. But in the long run, they have the training, and their anti-western ideology which justifies every nasty thing they do to everyone else, and that training will come back to bite us.

Trump (Kurt) is making a valid point in that the Kurds are great at helping to clear islamic state off their own front yard, but not at sending their armies all over the world, or even the middle east, to aid the US, NATO, the UN Peacekeepers, etc in other people's causes. I think that when some people talk about the Kurds being "an ally" they're mistakenly equating that to being an ally like Britain, Canada, France, Australia, etc. It's not nearly the same thing. Some of these countries have fought in full-on wars alongside Americans on hundreds of battlefields all over the world. With the US/Kurdish relationship I think it's more of a case of the Americans who have been an ally to the Kurds in a very real way, and the Kurds accepting US as an ally in their causes. In fairness to the Kurds though, their geopolitical situation is nothing like Canada's. We have no armies ( and especially not historically genocidal armies, like the Turks) along every inch of our borders, threatening our very existence every single day of our lives. Their situation compared to ours is like swimming through shark infested waters with an open wound vs swimming in your own backyard pool. We can send our armies away no problemo, if they sent half their army away for a month they'd come home to see a smoking hole with body parts sticking out.

The McLean's article could not be clearer on the matter, and the decisions by Canada, not Trump. Nice try...but Canada left years ago, never delivered promised arms to the Kurds, and hid behind Iraqi police forces instead. Why does Canada get to decide when the "mission" is over but the USA can't ? Canada did not as Trump ordered his soldiers go bye bye. They did not leave Kurds exposed to a life threatening situation. Canada never hid behind any Iraqi police force. You now out and out misrepresent what Canada's mission was and why it left. Its mission was completed unlike the American mission. No Canadian soldier was asked to leave anyone exposed to attack. Bush no one said, especially me that the US can not decide to get out of Syria but to leave your loyal ally exposed to attack on the way out is bullshit. That is the issue. Then again please tell me about the orderly retreat of the Americans from Vietnam and justify that fiasco. Go on revise history and twist it to suit your needs. Quote

I do understand the fact that Canada never abandon the Kurds or anyone else and what I also do understand is you deliberately distort what Canada did to justify Trump betraying an ally and placing them in danger trying to use a lame bullshit argument that abandoning allies is acceptable. What I do understand is you are so pro Trump you defend his acts acts of moral cowardice and tries to justify it as normal every day stuff everyone does. This has nothing to do with Obama or partisan politics, it has to do with a basic code of military honour, something you and Trump are oblivious to, clearly. Edited October 10, 2019 by Rue Quote
DogOnPorch Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 A lot of folks...not just here...want US soldiers in Syria to fight their personal war against Syria, Russia and Turkey. Damn the consequences. Heck...they don't think about consequences. What consequences? Nukes? What nukes? All for the Kurds, eh? When quizzed, none of the pro-war in Syria folks I asked would volunteer to fight alongside the Kurds. They're much like some commentators here...hoping for the best while virtue signaling, but unwilling to lift a finger, themselves. US soldiers are for killing & dying...not l'il ol' me. Normally, they'd throw a fit if US troops were ANYWHERE...but not this time. I think it's because they want Trump to ultimately come to blows with Putin. To prove what...I'm not sure. That nuclear weapons work, perhaps. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

It doesn't occur to you to wonder why he's doing it NOW and not last year or the year before. Trump draining the swamp! What a laugh! Trump was a dishonest businessman who lied to his customers, cheated his partners, cheated his suppliers so that his organization wound up having to pay COD for all supplies, cheated his financers so that banks stopped loaning him money, cheated on his wife and friends and everything he's ever done, and you expect HIM to be draining a swamp!? He IS the swamp! It would appear to me as though it hasn't sunk into your brain yet, or you just want to play ignorant here, after the video of Biden was exposed of Biden threatening the Ukraine leader. The leader of Ukraine today said that he did not feel that Trump ever or was threatened at all by Trump. Get with the program, my liberal fella. If it were not for the dumbo crats trying to get something on Trump by way of this impeachment Ukraine bs with false accusations being made against Trump, this Biden thing would never have been exposed. The dumbo crats are always walking into their own traps. Such stupid people these liberal dumbo crats are. They have been trying for three years to get Trump and every attempt to do so has failed. When will people like you and those dumbo crats ever get the picture? They just cannot seem to want to get over the loss to Trump. All they are doing now is trying to make problems for Trump every day in hopes that something will stick on Trump that they can use in the next election. Hopefully, come election day, Trump will kick their big lazy fat asses big time out the doors. The dumbp crats will have a lot to answer to when Trump gets a hold of them at the next election debate. Go, Trump, go. Works for me. The Clinton's are the biggest swampster cheats and liars that America has ever had. Trump will drain the swamp that you appear to want to see continue on. In business it's like war. A lot of hanky-panky goes on in business every day and many dealings that go on that consist of the many things you described above that Trump "WAS" supposed to have done. How would you know anyway? Were you at those business dealings going on or are you just going by "hearsay"? I think that you are going by the latter like the many anti-Trump haters out there. The MSM alt-left liberal pro-democrat lying and fake media said this about Trump so it must be true. Anyone who listens too and believes what the MSM in America and Canada says today must enjoy being fed and love eating their daily meal of bull shit. Aw well. Quote

It is a completely valid point that the Kurds aren't an "ally" with the US like Canada and France are allies, or Britain and the US are allies. The Kurds are a group that benefits from US protection but it's not mutual at all. The Kurds only take part in actions in which they are the primary beneficiary and the US is the benefactor. That is 100% correct and it's indisputable. That's not to say that they should be left to die, but the eternal army of US soldiers standing guard in Kurdistan theory is coming to an end. If what the Turks are saying is true, and that Kurdish terrorists are attacking Turkey, then it doesn't look good for the Kurds to be ducking out from under Mama America's wing to attack and then come running back. It makes the US look like West Pakistan. Turkey got their warning from Trump. They have their chance to establish a buffer zone, just like Israel has theirs at the expense of Palestine, but Trump will not allow another Turkish genocide against a minority. Trump is not Obama. He will not stand idly by when people are gassed, etc. One thing that I find ironic in this is that the people of the muslim world, who abhor the US and call them monsters, are afraid of what the muslims in Turkey are going to do to the muslims in Kurdistan if the big, bad US isn't there to act as the world police. What reason do they have to fear Turkey? I was under the impression that they thought islam was the religion of peace?
