no. because:
I stood my watch.
and
I didn't make them any promises.
but Donnie hasn't, and he did.
thank you for your service!
so it's about accountability of words? is Donnie the first president to not fulfill his promises?
that sux when someone lies but he seems to be keeping promises to Americans, is he not?
he is the POTUS
it's about trust.
our powerless allies will start hedging their bets when dealing with us. Our enemies will exploit that lack of trust.
He's doing the right thing (pulling back our military from around the world) but with the worst possible motives (political self-preservation).
It's a shit-show, and the damage to our relationships with our proxies will only be overcome by a new administration.
true if you only look at it from other country's point of view, but that's how things always been throughout the history.
some president works his agenda, builds foreign relations, execute his plans until the next president comes around.
didn't Obama do the same things for the Iraq War? why do we have ISIS in the first place?
Are you gonna blame the US for everything that happened in the world? because it seems that other countries that the US helped don't even remember that US was there to help when it mattered and only things they remember is the fact that they left.
FWIW - Cheney and the Bush Administration basically created ISIS.
I'm not going to hold the Greatest Nation on Earth to the standard of lesser nations. We should withdraw from the ME, but we should do so strategically - in order to ensure that our allies in liberty and self-determination aren't wiped off the map.
maybe the cops would have hired some mercenary to do that because it sounds like either a "controlled pair" or a Mozambique drill with only one shot to the body but the only reason cops would have to do it after he testified is for vengence they could have had him killed before he testified and she would have walked or gotten less time seems dumb to do it after.

you know what is trippy some 35 year old could have fought in that war when it started as a new soldier, had a kid (or several) and they both could have still been in that war together today.
i can live with that.
Trump's methods are too brash but at least he's making moves and in order to make moves, maybe we need a hothead like Trump or else we'll never leave anywhere.
cops sprinkled some crack on him

I think when the political heat gets too high he throws out chaos to take the wind out of whatever is threatening him.
In this case, he's doing something that's universally reviled, even by people who support the action in principle, and my guess is that it's to take the focus off of the quid pro quo investigation. I think what he did is pretty much what every POTUS has done for the last 100 years, but that doesn't make it OK.

I served on an overseas base that was started right after 9/11 to forward deploy for the GWOT. There were guys there that were there when it opened as privates. They are back and they will be retiring from the military in 2 more years...holy shit.

I support ripping the bandaid off the middle east and letting others enjoy Syria as much as we enjoyed Iraq and Lybia.
This is not the way to do it.
Yes I've served. Yes I've been deployed. Hell, I'm still in, part-time, anyways.
you wrote 'trippy' but I think you meant 'gross' or 'disturbing' or maybe 'shameful'.
How about Iran... all of a sudden we stopped hearing about how big of a threat they were?
Or the national emergency? Y'all got that under control yet or is it still an emergency?

Make of this what you will... I'm not sure of the quality of the source.
nah
I don't see any spoon but I did see this porno he battered them with a figurative melee weapon if you will.
for sure there's an agenda behind all the moves Trump makes but I don't think it all comes down to the quid pro quo investigation because the reason General Mattis stepped down was because Trump initially was big on pulling out of Syria, and that whole fiasco started about a year ago.
and here's another perspective.
During the first year of the Korean War, the Americans gained lots of momentum where they could have pushed all the way through North Korea which would have unified North and South Korea until the Chinese got involved and pushed American troops back south. The combat continued throughout for couple more years until they had the armistice agreement signed by US, NK, and China. For 70 years, cease fire remains but also the US involvement remained.
I wish US would have pushed all the way through when they had a chance and left Korea after but that's asking too much when around 36,000 American troops died during the Korean War. But whatever they were trying to do after the ceasefire, US is involved and it's been around 70 years past, and US is stuck in that region more than any other region, after 70 years, they still can't leave.
The scale of things are smaller than the Korean peninsula with the situation in Syria, but there's no for sure time and date of when is the best time to leave. They still can't get out of Afghanistan, every little small reason keeps drawing them back in.
