It not a massive force , and he probably knows its better to drop guidance bombs from the desert in Texas, or send in a Jack Ryan led extraction team .

Might have been nice to consult the military first though?

Apparently the Kurds are thinking of releasing over 3000 prisoners because of this, which is not great news for Europe.

But Putin is pleased, so priorities, eh?

I take it you want to see more body bags and permanently disabled soldiers then? The military industrial complex is a money making machine under the control of a small group of insiders, but hey-ho as long as long as you get to be anti-Trump!

You know I struggle with your coherence at the best of times but just so I understand:

This is the Donald Trump that has proudly boasted about increasing military spending to levels he subsequently tweeted were unsustainable:

This is the Donald Trump that castigated NATO countries for not spending enough on defence. Particularly I guess targeted towards the military industrial complex that is a money making machine under the control of a small group of insiders?

This is the Donald Trump that stepped over Khasoggi's body bag because he variously estimated that the military industrial complex that is a money making machine under the control of a small group of insiders has arms sales to the Saudi regime estimated by him at $110bn, and variously said they would generate 450,000, 500,000 or 600,000 jobs.

But hey-ho if you have your nose so far up his arse you can't work out where the putrid smell is coming from anymore!

Well crafted riposte, Cyril.

Don, the king of debt, Trump appears to be on a mission to outspend Obama. November's U.S. deficit was the largest ever recorded for that month at $205 billion.

Withdrawing is fine but not on the spur of the moment by tweet. The Mattis resignation is a clear signal of what the military think and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the world.

A Secretary of Defense stays in the post for an average of two years, and then somebody else takes over. It's completely normal, yet suddenly it doesn't bode well for the rest of the year :xmashehe:

I think this us more to do with Turkish favours and I'm guessing the Turks may withdrawn the use of this airfields, fly over zones , if the USA continues to support or use the Kurdish folk as thier Syrian proxy army .

Israel and Turkey along with Saudi will sort or manage Syria along with the american intelligence machine .
(Plus an unknown shake of the hand ,with Russia )
