    American journalist stationed in Syria says that ISIS has breached several prisons to free their fighters and that the US positions have been targeted by Turkish artillery. American journalists are fleeing their positions.

    Trump is shocked. He loves the troops. He just doesn't love the American allies that did most of the fighting against ISIS, gathered Intel used against ISIS, protected our troops, positions, and Intel assets.

    Ow definitely, but the degree and effects are far greater because of the power the US has (had).

    I meant there is wealth, which is only possible due to artificial enhancements since in terms of debt it shouldn’t be possible and the US should be considered a very poor country.

    Again, agree on the bar being set low and especially US and also European citizens should feel very lucky to live the way they do today.

    I just hope we all realise it’s not because we are (more) civilised, chosen ones (God blessing us), on a higher moral ground or anything.

    The world's view (and presumably, Americans' view) of our diminishing global leadership... but hey, trump is making bucks with our mercenary military propping up saudi arabia...

    Too bad more republicans don't speak out, and sad that most of the time, its republicans leaving office that find their voice...

    yes, that fox news... reporting the huge danger trump presents as he veers off script.

    Screw Dan. Relative peace? Ethnic cleansing more accurately put. Kurds cleansed that territory that was never theirs. They must be removed so rightful owners can return home.

    Terrorist Commie Kurd groups don't represent all Kurds FYI. Not only are there different communist movements in the Kurdish population... Maoist and Stalinist strains, but not all of them want these terrorists. Many of the people living in Syria just want their homes back.

    Here is an update on the operation's progress. Also I still haven't found Turkish media sources praising the killing of that politician... maybe an editorial on a far right publication in Turkish but I haven't seen it. Not sure, but the most credible Turkish outlets do not praise it. Most are just giving updates from the Ministry on progress and Nato officials, etc.

    "What is this ****?" is kind of good summary of the world's (except Russia, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia's) response to current US foreign policy.

    ... hear more than one source. I know kurds who dislike the terrorists as well. The complaints are legit. How many kurds and turks do you talk to regularly? How often do you check turkish news and other countries and get both sides. The west has largely been running pro kurd propaganda and it is utter horse ****.
