Where did I read it, 90% of our Corporate-clad Senators received campaign contributions from the war industries!

When is Trump going to end his support for the war in Yemen? Oh right, he won't. His only loyalty is to Putin and the Saudis, not the interests of this country.

But no complaint when Obama put us there in Syria, Yemen, and Libya the first place

Wow, how nice of Putin. Any person with a brain knows it's best to keep american troops busy, distracted, stretched thin, frustrated, and tangled up in the foreign affairs of Middle East countries forever.

So nice of Putin to give the order to have our military focus on the real threats, like Russia and China.

so what do you suggest? Do you think it is our duty to stay in every country around the world? I am having trouble understanding how a single democrat can question what Trump is doing when it comes to bringing our military home? They accuse the right for staying in countries that don't even like us and now they don't want us to leave those countries. the person responding simply made a statement, no one really suggests using drones.

I have to say I am torn as to whether or not I think we should pull out, but this doesn't change the fact the dems will never approve of anything the right does.

This analyzes Trump's decision as motivated by Bolton's hawkish policy to push US involvement there into much longer mission...

https://www.thedailybeast.com/bolton...ump-to-get-out


First time I saw this reason presented.
Erdogan may have caught Trump when he was looking for justification to defy Bolton who everyone knows is a bully of the first order...
Bolton was likely just as *******ed as Mattis by this
But you won't SE he resign in protest

I've asked this question twice already. No response.

Where are any facts, or evidence that Trump is doing this or anything else for Putin? You do know that all the policies Trump has installed, like ENERGY POLICY goes directly against Putin, and Russian interests? The Russian economy is totally dependent on ENERGY SALES. Have you seen the prices of energy lately? Our U.S. (Trump) energy policy has now enabled the U.S. to be a NET EXPORTER of oil. We are also selling Natural Gas to Europe in direct competition to Russia. This is killing the Russian economy. Why would Trump do that if he were so allied with Putin?

Obama restricted the sale of U.S. energy overseas by not allowing Liquid Natural Gas plants to be built, nor operate to export our vast natural gas resources. Trump reversed that policy, and made it easier to drill for oil on national lands.

Use a little logic for a change instead of pure Trump Hate EMOTION.
