    Trump said he has sent the FBI to Branson Missouri to bring in Yakov Smirnoff for questioning... Mike Pence has been told to wear tight leather and beat him with water hoses on the buttocks until he confesses.

    It’s been said many times. Trump does very little reading. Oh, he got the report, he Probably just didn’t read it. Or maybe he did read it and just didn’t care.

    It comes down to this. Trump fails once again. If you give the President important information and he chooses not to look at it. That’s a complete failure by Trump. This is basic stuff any President is supposed to do.

    So, what is Russia's motivation here? How does killing US troops further their interests?

    It was more about ISIS

    As far as not being aware of issues this is the stupidity I'm talking about when discussing. Stoping Russia from being "more of a global player " isn't a reason to be in Syria and not a reason to be there.

    You're right I had forgotten about ISIS because they aren't the threat they were

    Yea... trump's press sexytary weaseled the latest answer by saying trump wasn't "personally briefed". So yea, it was the on PDB, and trump either ignored it or read it and lied afterwards, both possible options are horrendous and worth booting him out of office.

    Their motivation is too sow discord among the leaders of the world so they can Accumulate power through destabilization. It’s right out of their playbook.

    Hell its basically the same thing we did to them when they were in Afghanistan.

    It makes exact sense. The more dead American soldiers the more pressure to pull out. Leaving a vacuum where Russia can move in.

    The Russian's are already in. Haven't you watched Homeland. Not to worry though. That crazy ass Carrie will save the day.

    Actually the more dead soilders would pressure politicians to stay. We've been there18 years on the basis of ongoing conflict

    Peace would be the reason to leave

    Deaths are a reason to leave. Stability is a reason to leave.

    When I say pressure I mean from the hawks. Leaving a war in bad shape is always divisive in this country
