Richard Engel: Spoke to a professor with deep connections into Kurdish leadership in Syria.

Spoke to a professor with deep connections into Kurdish leadership in Syria. I asked him about the mood there after Trump announcement, his answer sent chills: Hurt, betrayed, and angry. They'll all be dead soon...

repeatedly over the decades, across parties and administrations. We are not alone. It is an international great power game “how to screw the Kurds out of their own state once again”.

And this makes Putie happy - and in his mind, that's all that matters. Hes luvin' seeing all the troubles in France, The UK and America. He must also be so proud because he's engineered all of it (using local traitors on each country).

If you bought say 1,000 rooms at a Trump s-hole hotel he might change his mind.

Just a suggestion....

In my studies I have come to the conclusion that the
Patriarch Jacob was last the king of Cappadocia.
He died as a captive of Rome in AD 17.

I believe Saladin agreed to a treaty that allowed the people of Jerusalem to leave the city unharmed before the city was sacked.

because of Trump, America, won't be trusted any more. Who would want to give us sensitive intelligence? Who would trust us? This isn't just a stain on Trump, it is going to take a long time for America to restore our reputation after Trump is gone.
