Massive attacks underway against the Kurds in northern Syria. US military are ashamed, "sickened."



Massive attacks underway against the kurds in northern syria. No ceasefire. Total nonsenses there is. US military officials tell me they are ashamed, “sickened.” It’s cold now outside. What about the families, and kids, out of their homes? @OARichardEngel #AmericanBetrayal

That thing is a fucking war criminal. My hatred and loathing grow stronger every day.

Erdoğan simply told him what he was going to do and the orange anus folded like a K-mart Chaise Lounge.

until one of them ended up on the bottom of my shoe. To be clear, I am not equating our president with a garden slug. Garden slugs serve a purpose.

Blocking a Senate vote on sanctions. No one person should have the power to torch our foreign policies.

Not just Trump. This terrible blunder should affect down ballot races next election. Republicans make us less safe by the day as our friends and allies worldwide lose trust in the USA.

The murdering bastard

Edited to add:

Donald Trump's body count: He's not just a narcissist and a liar. He's a killer

Every time you hear dry, foreign-relations talk about Russia or Turkey or Saudi Arabia “seeking influence in the region,” whether the region is the Middle East or Eastern Europe, what they’re really talking about is dead bodies. That’s the way these corrupt, dictatorial friends of Donald Trump “seek influence.” They order military forces under their command to kill people. That killing produced dead bodies, lots and lots of dead bodies. Taylor testified that more than 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the Russians invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea. Estimates of the dead in Yemen run as high as 100,000, according to no less an authority than Fox News. More than 100 people have been killed and tens of thousands of refugees have been displaced since Turkey invaded northern Syria, according to NBC News.

How our allies ever trust the US again is beyond me. What is he going to do next? Pull out of NATO and allow Putin to steamroll through the Baltic states? With tRump, anything is possible. This is tragic.

as revenge against the world of humane citizens and Democrats as a response to his pending impeachment and probable imprisonment after that?

in my opinion.

But then, I've always held that what he did inviting Russia to meddle in our elections and then welcoming that 'help' when it came was also treason, and I believe McConnell guilty of that as well.
