[quote:Anonymous Coward 77624626:MV80MTYyNjgyXzc1NjM3MjE5XzI5OTcxQkQ3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69958482:MV80MTYyNjgyXzc1NjM3MTg3XzFEQUIzM0Mw] ISIS were the shattered remnants of Iraq, factions that Saddam held together until the US blew it apart because of 9/11. Even though the US also blamed the phantom Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Bush preached of the “axis of evil” involving Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, so they were all clearly in the neocons’ sights. Iran has always been a little too difficult to just march in and own the place, and Russia always draws the red line in Syria. Republicans like McCain and Lindsey Graham loudly screamed for direct confrontation and Obama decided NOT TO and Putin quietly let it pass, and didn’t gloat about it on Twitter. Instead of making up a story to justify sending actual troops, they just called those leftovers in Iraq ISIS or ISIL or whatever and yes, armed them through Benghazi. That way the US could have people doing their dirty work without committing troops on the surface. Embarrassing even more when Putin openly decided to “ help” with the “ISIS problem” and bombed them flat while the US screamed “ stop !” as if its wife was beating its mistress’s head in with a sledgehammer. The real conspiracy of Benghazi was that it would embarrass the entire US government, not merely Hillary. Yes, she voted for Bush’s war and Obama didn’t end it like he said he would. As Trump proves, it’s not that easy once you’re in. But once the villagers have the torches out...burn the witch. Now it’s all this, and Trump’s approach seems to involve little understanding nor concern with anything besides what is, to him, surface logic. Ending endless wars, great, though those wars were cheered on by the very people who empower him now. The people who brainwashed America into letting them suck the treasury dry in the name of patriotism. Trump said himself there’s “ a little conflict of interest in Turkey” with his Trump Towers there. There is no way he could fathom potential war with a country where he does business, so he uses American foreign policy to do his personal bidding. Coincidentally after all that’s been said about his relationship with Putin, ya gotta ask about Syria - what would Putin prefer the US do ? Pull the troops, maybe? Just asking. None of that even touches Israel’s influence, both on the neocon adventure and Trump himself. But it’s a mess, and the Bush administration is largely to blame, and they seem to have gotten away with it. Maybe the current situation merely creates a new excuse to rev it back up, but it won’t be in Syria, cause remember, Trump/Putin. And it won’t cross Turkey, cause remember, Trump Towers Istanbul. But he’s gonna have to keep those neocons happy somehow so they don’t vote against him in the Senate impeachment trial. Lucky him that he has “ his military” who are willing to die for his personal interests and for the people who sucked the treasury dry. [/quote] saying the US retreated from syria because "trump towers in Istanbul" is simple minded. [/quote]
