Trump sucks, he voted against the Armenian genocide

[TitoFan]

Ok Dia, no qualms with Trump being a fucking idiot on many things. As a long standing Saddo'er, you must have seen my endless back-and-forths with Trump supporters here on the forum.

But......

The Armenian genocide was about a century ago. Excuse my French but..... what fucking good does it do to drag this out all of a sudden and designate it as a "genocide"..... other than to use it as a political slap in the face for Turkey?

Last I checked, Turkey was an important ally of the U.S. It should be said that the U.S. can use as many friends in the Middle East as it can get. You throw a rock in the region and you'll hit someone who's chanting "Death to America."

So now there's this rush to classify a 100 year-old event a genocide for what other purpose? Is it going to bring back the dead Armenians?

I think it's all kind of silly, if you ask me.



Right now the U.S. should be playing it smart, what with Russia drooling all over these flip-flopping countries for potential allies of its own.

I've never been a fan of over-intervention by the U.S. in any global arena.... but the overriding goal should be to keep as many friends and allies as possible.


BTW, was the 1915 Armenian genocide a genocide BEFORE this year? Or was it not worthy of being designated as such?

Some things are transparent to the point of being laughable.
