Crakkerjakk posted:IIRC the same people that sabotaged peace negotiations between north and south Vietnam to sandbag Johnson and get Nixon in office were involved in the fuckery with the Iran hostage return being delayed to get Reagan in office. And also there's a fair amount of evidence that HW Bush knew about the Iran/Reagan bit and covered it up, in addition to pardoning Iran-Contra assholes on his way out the door. Robert Parry has some good books on this.

“I urge the President to exercise American leadership to keep together our multinational coalition to defeat ISIS and prevent significant conflict between our NATO ally Turkey and our local Syrian counterterrorism partners,” he added. “Major new conflict between Turkey and our partners in Syria would seriously risk damaging Turkey’s ties to the United States and causing greater isolation for Turkey on the world stage.” “As we learned the hard way during the Obama Administration, American interests are best served by American leadership, not by retreat or withdrawal,” McConnell warned on Monday.

colachute posted:Did you expect Mattis to like, actually tell Trump what to do or, It would’ve been helpful if he had more to say on the subject than “it would be inappropriate for me to say anything about my time with the presidency.” Instead, he just hosed off with his paycheck. I don’t think I owe a lot of respect to the people in privileged positions of the administration who recognized the harm it was doing and refused to become an activist for the nation upon leaving. And gently caress, for all I know being the one adult in the room has saved us from the brink of several disastrous policies. There’s a few sources saying as much.

That's what happens when you, with drat loving good reason, spend centuries establishing civilian control of the armed forces as a paramount principle of governance and instilling that into the armed forces.

colachute posted:What difference would it make? Mattis was the kind of leader both sides of the aisle claimed to respect, so I think his statements on the administration probably would make something of a difference in public and congressional opinion. I don’t actually blame him for the decisions the administration makes. I just find it frustrating that so many leaders with the ability to speak out are instead choosing the path of least resistance out of the public eye.

colachute posted:What difference would it make? He seemingly prevented this from happening a year ago. Watch any interview with Mattis post-military & pre-appointment. He is very clear about the importance of "being faithful to our allies" (and, in full disclosure, "gently caress Iran"). I don't know what to make of his "honorable" silence post-resignation, and everything went to poo poo anyways, but if he had stuck around and forced the President to fire him over the Kurds things may have been slightly less lovely overall.

Anything he says at this point is irrelevant. Maybe it’ll make you feel better for a moment but it’s not going to decrease the chances of the Kurds getting slaughtered. Tangent, kind of towards you but more in general of how I’ve been feeling lately: all of these tweets and statements and poo poo mean nothing. I’m so loving sick of politicians posting on Twitter like it makes a goddamn difference. The statements that get released about how lovely trump is make no difference. I wish they would just shut the gently caress up and get to work. Less words, more loving action. Screw a statement, do something of loving substance or gently caress off. End of my tangent. Again this wasn’t directed towards anyone in particular, this in particular is just what sent me on this tangent. That’s why I don’t care about a statement from Mattis. It’s just words on a paper/screen/however you ingest it. It doesn’t do poo poo meaningful.

I thought we were talking about Mattis remaining as Sec Def until fired, but I feel ya on people thinking Twitter represents a meaningful representation of public opinion. On the bright side, there are actually meaningful actions being taken. Impeachment seems extremely loving plausible for once. And, contrary-wise to my above sentiment, if D and R politicians alike feel emboldened by twitter's extremely-online echo chamber cheerleading them on in order to take personal responsibility to up-end this hillbilly republic's hosed up child king, then so be it.

It owns so loving much that this administration is going to get away with literal, provable crimes because the system that would hold them accountable is based entirely on people politely following the rules. I'm 99% certain that if Trump loses in 2020, he can just say "nah" and everyone will shrug and accept it.
