What's this?

Remember Mike Flynn was connected to Turkey as well?

Trump's entire administration stinks. This is why you don't deal with foreign countries under the table. You become, or at least have the optics, as a counter intelligence risk.

This is the problem with having a President whose only interest is his. -- Blah 10/13/2019 11:44AM

Just one of many reasons Trump is so dangerous. -- hoolstoptheheels 10/13/2019 12:58PM

I would rather have a Kurdistan in NATO than Turkey. We have more in common ** -- 81_Hokie 10/13/2019 11:16AM

Kurdistan doesn't exist. ** -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:17AM

No shit. Reread my post. ... a Kurdistan.. a hypothetical, not Kurdistan, -- 81_Hokie 10/13/2019 11:21AM

That would mean they would need a state. Where do you propose? -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:23AM

This withdrawal by Trump was anything but strategic. It was rash. It -- hoolstoptheheels 10/13/2019 11:50AM

That's not true. That's not what his JC's said. ** -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:51AM

I didn't say support, I said it was known. -- hoothat 10/13/2019 12:27PM

A strategic military decision is taken in conjunction with the Pentagon, -- hoolstoptheheels 10/13/2019 1:03PM

This was known. -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:47PM

Seriously? Did you forget what our "Commander" in Chief did to cause this? -- graycalhoo 10/13/2019 10:52AM

He's an unconditional defender of everything Trump does -- wahoo138 10/13/2019 10:54AM

I'm being indirectly attacked! Ahhh! -- hoothat 10/13/2019 10:58AM

Attack the messenger is a figure of speech -- wahoo138 10/13/2019 11:00AM

Is it? That's not what you were doing... -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:02AM

He gave Turkey a greenlight to attack NATO? He has that authority? ** -- hoothat 10/13/2019 10:53AM

Of course he did, when he removed American troops hours after he got off -- graycalhoo 10/13/2019 11:13AM

That's not how it works... ** -- hoothat 10/13/2019 11:14AM
