President Trump has earned both the highest praise and severest criticism for his decisions on defense and foreign policy matters. Whether he was revoking Obama’s terrible nuclear weapons deal with Iran or telling the world that he trusted Russian President Putin as much as he trusts our intelligence community, Trump has followed no ideology or explained how or why he reached any decision. His beliefs and his actions are transactional.
His latest — first betraying our Kurdish allies and then telling the world that we’re seizing the Syrian oil and keeping the revenue (reportedly $45 million a month) resulting from its sale — has no precedent in American history.

Jed had better catch up, there was no betrayal just because the deep state and other commies claim there was.

With the possible exception of Biden, none of these candidates has come within 20 miles of a basic coarse in economics. All of them propose grandiose spending with no idea of the true cost and the impact on the economy and peoples lives. Pocahontas Warren's claims for her Medicare-for-all plan makes cost assumptions that are pure fantasy. Even Obama's UN-Affordably Care Act cost assumptions were not as outrageous as hers. All of the candidates want the government to impose in every aspect of our lives instead of getting out of the way.

Since we still happen to have what I would view as free elections, though these are becoming more and more corrupted, just a suggestion - get out and vote. Make sure your spouse votes. Same for your brothers and sister, your kids, their kids, your friends, their friends.

Babbin's phrase, "betraying our Kurdish allies" doesn't quite stand up. Our troops are still there, just not actively overtly fighting along side with them. As for being our allies, the Kurds are not a country. They are more like the enemies of my enemies are my friends. We will still help them, but not to the extent that they endanger our relations with our other allies.

We betrayed no one.
That said, I look at these midgets and shake my head. Trying to imagine any of them as President of the United States. Even the Tulsi Gabbard that some here said they thought might be a possible is just a fairly intelligent, well-spoken young woman with a very limited background (has she ever run anything? a company?). Her main qualification? She’s not as bad as the others. That is not the way we choose a president. And when it comes to being “presidential”, not one - not even doddering old Biden - has any stature, any presence. Can you see any of these midgets on the world stage?

The ultimate leftist dream is for Sanders or Warren to be elected as US President, and Corbyn be elected as the UK Prime Minister. Surely China, Russia and the other tough guys around the world would then take great advantage and certainly would not roll over for those communist creeps.

They’re ALL rat bastids!
Corrupt, criminal, hypocrite liars
Destroying traditions, values, morals, ethics
Look at their cities like Chicago
Look at their states like California
Look what they did to movies
Look what they did to television
Look what they did to “the news”
Look what they did to public schools
Look how they misbehave in politics
Look how they spend other people’s money
They’re useless and despicable
I say invite them all out to California
Then build THE WALL around that state
And NEVER let one of them out again..EVER!
No more lefty rats in my America!

Same thing was said about Obama. Yet there he was. For eight long years. The left thinks if they can drag Obama's sorry rear end across the finish line first, they can do it with anyone.

First, not all of us agree on the assertion that we “betrayed” our Kurdish allies. Next, who has heard about seizing Syrian oil revenue. Lastly, please stop using words like “transactional” and “Fungible”. They aren’t impressive or necessary. One finishes your piece with no conclusion.
