Trump's report card on foreign policy

@RealDonaldTrump
Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”


....oh man, that World War 3 is just soooooo imminent right now....everyone run to your bunkers

British get so worked up via "high moral outrage" pretenses.

Still funny? I live in a city with a nuclear bunker. I guess you are too young to remember the cold war. We are a nuclear submarine repsir Base. 13 here at the moment awaiting disposal. The largest naval Base in western Europe and a prime target if it all kicks off.

Just when Trumps top lawyer is being investigated. Obviously just a coincidence.

Where is the democracy in any of this? Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and now Syria? The media, the system, everything has failed again and again. Still that complete wanker Tony Blair is advocating war. People are going to die for no reason and it hasn't been determined or proven what happened in Syria. Also, why is a gas attack any worse than us selling weapons to regimes that bomb people? Maybe I am a simpleton, but I think killing innocent people is fucked up whoever or how it is done. We killed a million fucking people in Iraq and here we are pretending we are saving people. WTF? Donald Trump has failed his voters and he probably doesn't care less. No excuses! The world has to pick up the pieces every time. More refugees, more chaos, and for what? A pipeline? To protect Israel who is protected enough already?

[Beanz]

If he really cared about civilians he would accept those refugees fleeing Assad.

[Gandalf]

Totally. I am a controlled borders kind of guy, but you cannot bomb countries and expect people to just take it. Fucked up beyond all reckoning. Fuck.

No one hates war more than people who have been in it

This may actually give trump a ratings bump. The normies like to see bombs dropped on the Middle East. I really can't see Russia wanting to escalate this since they have been bombing Syria for a while. I fucking hate to say it but if these are attacks are limited to strategic bombing it's almost like things are improving. As far as trumps comments about judging by the friends you keep the guy did not create this mess we have. It's hard to say now Russia has him in their pockets which is all I've been hearing. Certainly two nuclear powers plus Iran playing shootem up so close together is not a pleasant thought but Putin got it made in Russia he doesn't want his many houses turned into toothpicks. I was just reading how the Middle East is more unstable since the US has been disengaging. The rise of turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia are apparently making things very shaky. I think that was from the economist magazine last month. Oddly the economist bashes Trump all the time but apparently wants him to occupy the Middle East. I really feel shitty for the regular citizens of Syria. I'm sure they just want to work and put food on the table and here they are struggling to get a glass of water. It's also sad as this in stability is going to cause more genocide against the Christians of Syria, some of the oldest Christian communities in the world. I see some colleges are doing courses on Christian privilege now, I bet they leave that chapter out. I have to say, you English can blame us but if Churchill and Lawrence of Arabia put a little more thought into carving up the countries in the Middle East this may be a lot better situation.

[Beanz]

I think a lot of the British also blame the British leaders who carved up the middle east, and did a lot in their name, without consenting with them. The streets were full of Anti Iraq war protesters and even many Tories had no desire to keep sticking our oar into other countries business.
