    That’s some bs. Saudi Arabia has their own military. USA should just pullback from there too.

    It’s about realising you are blessed since there’s no denying the US establishment is shady as hell, picking sides to their liking and serving their own interest, not thinking twice about backstabbing and abandoning those who helped them in the past.

    I have no interest in a petty back-and-forth with people who feel attacked when I’m speaking about a system and not its people.

    The only relevance to the people of the US is the part about the wealth - which is artificial - and peace you are blessed with. And it’s not because the US is the beacon of freedom and democracy, so it would also serve Americans to drop their arrogant attitudes towards the rest of the world.

    The problem with the Kurds is that they didn’t build a Trump Tower in northern Syria

    In honor of all the Saudis who lost their lives storming the beaches of Normandy. We can never repay that debt.

    UN is not at the border of turkey and Syria right now. What has Assad said about Turkey encroaching in their borders? Does Assad agree with it to?

    Why do you think the turks have a strong relationship with isis? Just curious. Also what do you think will become of the prisoners?

    Because the Turkish president is an Islamist and ISIS hate the Kurds and have destabilized Syria?
    ISIS does not exist in a vacuum. It has nation state backers.

    Turkey has a HUGE kurdish population in the east.
    They have been suppressing them for centuries. Slaughters, genocides etc etc.

    But after all this suppresion there is still no "cleansing" they still have kept their own national identity strong.

    The problem is that while the turks have 2-3 children the Kurds have 6-7 so they become more and more and no matter what Erdogan thinks he is doing he will make things much worse than better for his own country.

    Does this count as “unfair” now? Will Trump destroy Turkey’s economy like has done before?

    Doubt it. He seems like a man with absolutely no balls. But, hey, at least when we have more dead service members come home, he can make it bout himself again.

    Which isn't unique to history. It's a Hobbesian world whether you like it or not.

    Wealth isn't artificial, it's very tangible and can be very fleeting.

    We are far from perfect but we've been the best superpower in history, because the bar is set that low. We are all blessed living in the 21st century for the matter.
