RoofGardener Posted July 26, 2018 #153 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well, if nothing else, President Trump seems to have created an internet "meme". Humorous variations on his tweet are cropping up all over the place. "BE CAUTIOUS" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to all the civilians killed and injured by terrorists as a direct result of our interference. There are real people in this on all sides. It's not a game.

That's why British leftists acted like morons and psychos when Trump went to the UK. I don't defend Trump when he does something wrong, but I'm more than willing to defend him when people lie about him. I'm cool with that. Thats utterly irrational, given you do not know which news sources I use. And my main point, to which you responded by prematurely concluding I wouldnt post thesame if it concerned Obama or Clinton - defending Trump - is certainly not a lie. Also, if you think pro Trump, or even Trump admin sources - including Trump himself - do not contain propaganda, Im sorry to say youre fooling yourself on that one as well.

The Theocrats know how shaky their throne is, and how dearly their own people would love to overthrow them. A decade ago, the Revolutionary Guard and their Hamas auxiliaries slaughtered the Greens in the streets, while Obama said nothing until it was all over but the mass-arrests. Today, they wouldn't dare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, Israel IS allowed - by law and convention - to attack Syrian armed forces or military infrastructure at will. That's insane. It makes absolutely no sense. It's not right to attack or invade an independent country that does nothing to you. That's all there is to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base my comment on the fact that you and others quote from news sources that are very biased against Trump. European news sources often contain leftist propaganda that distorts American life. That's why some ignorant foreigners thought that Obama was a saint who could do no wrong. The Nobel Peace Prize was the most absurd illustration of this phenomenon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those rare occasions when I deviate from the consensus of my "club" and side with another "club". The death and destruction, caused by war, are pushed to the side way too much. It's only tragic when our kids are killed. This kind of detached thinking shows why military action must be a *very* last resort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent0range Posted July 27, 2018 #163 Share Posted July 27, 2018 People criticize Obama's red line in Syria. Meanwhile, we have Trump's tweet, and then this. Quote "If you begin the war, we will end the war. You know that this war will destroy all that you possess." Trump makes promises he can't keep. While I might be a democrat, I am all about war, having served for 8 years. Defeat our enemies. If you are going to talk about it, be about it.

How many times do I need to repeat Im just as anti Obama as Im anti Trump? The fact I use biased newssources - more or less all newssources are - does not mean I copy their position. In contradiction to some Trump supporters using pro Trump media here, behaving like some fanboy attacking everyone that dares to post 'negative content' about him. Eventhough said negative content is based in clearcut, unequivocal facts. Look, Im pretty tired of countering your stereotypical, preconceived notions. A fine day to you ma'am.
