Imo they should just extradite to a neutral country and let it be decided in court. Quote

Would have been a ballsy move for Trudeau as well, instead of more weakness. Trump would certainly have done it. The circumstances are not the issue. The issue is that the extradition is dependent on whether or not Canadas laws were broken. From the article I linked earlier: "Canada is at a crossroads respecting the United States' request that Canada extradite Ms. Meng, for conduct that could not be an offence in Canada," the lawyers argue. "Over our history, the Canadian government has stood up for Canadian values, including the rule of law, even in circumstances where this has meant a departure from American foreign policy initiatives. This is all based on u.s. and iran. Canada had no involvement, so where do we stand on this matter now? Quote

The reason many people don’t like Trump is because he plays the zero-sum game: I can’t win unless someone loses. Someone else’s success means my failure. It’s lame. Think bigger than that. Raise all boats. Making money and having stuff for oneself is too easy. Move beyond that. Trump wants America to win, not everyone else to lose. Trump is a raise all boats guy, but what he isn't, is a raise all boats but America guy, and that is what rubs you the wrong way. America First isn't about punishing the world, it's about America benefiting more from globalism instead of making sacrifices to help the world at it's own expense.

Hiding behind the extradition treaty did not serve the imprisoned Canadians well. It would not be the first time that Canada refused to extradite to the USA. Quote This is all based on u.s. and iran. Canada had no involvement, so where do we stand on this matter now? Canada follows UNSC sanctions against Iran, but also has laws against bank fraud. But the case has been compromised...she walks.

Trump is not even taking a salary for being the President. Trump is donating his presidential salary to some charities. Obama would never do such a thing, and neither would Hillary.

Back then y'all were hating on Bush #43....now you love him compared to TRUMP ! Some not so bright Americans just do not know when they have something good like Trump going for them. Why those socialist demonstrators, like the ANTIFA red guard commie bullies, who keep attacking Trump and his people and supporters at his rallies is beyond me. They seem to be fighting for their freedoms to be taken away from them. Little do these morons know that they are being used as cannon fodder for the elite globalist ilk who will drop them like a hot piece of coal if they ever gained total control of the world. Most think that China has the answer. After the Bolshevik revolution the people found out later that their commie leaders had other plans for them. Communist slavery and tyranny. Communist political party's should be outlawed just like Nazi political party's has been outlawed. But for some unknown reason, communism gets a free pass in the free world. Go figure, eh? Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 American troops may pull out of northern Syria entirely as Turkey escalates the buffer zone invasion. American troops were not deployed to be stuck in the middle of a war between Turkey, Kurds, and Syrians. Quote WASHINGTON — The United States appears to be heading toward a full military withdrawal from Syria amid growing chaos , cries of betrayal and signs that Turkey's invasion could fuel a broader war. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Sunday that President Donald Trump had directed U.S. troops in northern Syria to begin pulling out "as safely and quickly as possible." He did not say Trump ordered troops to leave Syria, but that seemed like the next step in a combat zone growing more unstable by the hour. ... Critics say the U.S. has betrayed the Kurds by pulling back in the face of Turkey's invasion, but Esper said the administration was left with little choice once President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Trump a week ago that he was going ahead with a military offensive. Esper said the Kurds have been good partners, "but at the same time, we didn't sign up to fight the Turks on their behalf." http://www.startribune.com/esper-says-trump-orders-us-troops-to-leave-northern-syria/562980602/ Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
