okay so we're letting erdogan do some light genocide

1. Trump's completely desperate to create a new narrative, so he's doing whatever he can to be able to say he's ending a war.

2. this might also be one of those things where Trump says something and the Army just doesn't do it

3. It could be both

So what's up with Duterte these days, eh?



https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/06/world/asia/duterte-disease-philippines.html

quote:

MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines has revealed that he has a neuromuscular disease that has led to a slew of medical problems, including making his eye droop.

Mr. Duterte, who was in Russia for a state visit, told the Filipino community there on Saturday night that he has myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to skeletal muscle weakness. He said the disease ran in his family.

Oh. Maybe there's a tiny bit of karma in this world after all.

The point is that they rescued the dog. I'm sure they'd love donors to help them rescue other dogs in similar situations, folks willing to adopt rescue dogs, and people willing to support stronger anti-abuse laws.

E: Not sure how your take-away was "Paw and Claws kills rescue dogs" when the whole story was "we managed to rescue this dog that was basically murdered".

Goddamn it. America once again thanks the Kurds by letting them get screwed.

This is such bullshit. How much Kurdish blood rests on Iraqi and Syrian soil to help us? How many lives thrown away in service of our goals for the barest mention of existence?

Of course Trump would skip out on another bill to be paid. Goddamn this corrupt prick, all for his dumb, ugly building and his dumb, ugly ego.

America should have been in Syria long enough to murder the gently caress out of Bashar al-Assad for dropping barrel bombs on civilians. For those not in the know, they're the oil barrel sized equivalent of pipe-bombs that he's used to murder his people.

So no. Syria didn't have to turn into a mess. At one point al-Assad only had about 500 troops who were loyal to him but he did have a working air force. If those helicopters were shot down he'd be little more than some pissant warlord and the greatest murder of civilians in a single conflict in the 21st century wouldn't have happened.

It really is one of the more stable places in Syria at this point. And there’s a difference between leaving and leaving while also shouting ‘lol have fun Turkey.’

I don't understand foreign policy very well. I barely understand some domestic policies. I'm not going to parrot something I've read on twitter, in a news story, or here when I don't understand it. What I will say is that there are very, very few reasons worth going to war. "Get dat oil" is not one of them. Stopping a genocide definitely is. America's forever wars are terrible, but at least this one actually might save someone. If we stay, maybe we can figure something out, but once they're dead, they're dead.

There were leaders who would have been able to take over and stabilize the country at the beginning of the civil war. Assad killed them all and what you're left with now are bandits.

Obama didn't show any loving courage and so he let an entire country get pipe bombed by a dictator.

You can't blow up your way to a democracy, but you can sure murder a dictator who's making everything awful. Cancers can be cut out.

The Kurds are fairly resilient. Turkey may end up trying to bite off more than they can chew, especially if the Turkish/Iraqi Kurds join in.

It still sucks leaving them hanging out to dry.

I mean short of giving the Kurds an a-bomb on the way out the Turks were always going to do their level best to murder them all the second the last American got on a plane.

The only real alternative would be to stay until Erdogan drops dead and hope the next insane dictator in charge of Turkey has something better to do than try for a genocide speedrun.
