Oh I understand. I understand the rest of the free world has been suppling up to our teet for a good spell. If it’s important for us to be there, it is also important for them to be there.

We started that war against the strong protests from that group on top.

And do entertain us with a witty story about how American allies should put their soldiers lives on the line to aid the US as the US bails on one of their allies, leaving them to be slaughtered. I can't wait to hear it.

And what country in the anti-ISIS coalition was going to agree to send more troops to the area since Trump announced last December that he was going to pull the US out of Syria soon?

This is what happens when you take a "fuck you guys, we only care about ourselves" approach to foreign diplomacy. Which world leader that was being slandered by Trump was going to agree to help him out? You can't have it both ways.

Oh, and I just read that there are both UK and French special forces soldiers in the Rojava area as well that are being tasked with bolstering the security of the camps holding thousands of ISIS fighters if (more likely when) Kurdish fighters are forced to retreat.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces did the bulk of the ground fighting against ISIS in the area and lost more than 11,000 troops in the battle.

The world should be a worlds problem. Not a U.S. only problem.

It’s not too much to ask that everyone do their portion. Lord knows we do our portion.

Maybe we should stick around to help clean up our mess.

I thought you progressives were all about open borders and one peoples and one world.

If we are one world than by gosh this is a world problem to be tackled by the world.

We will do our portion. Will they.

If this is how we treat our allies, we won't have any.

The world was working with us to help us with this problem in that area. We just shit on them and left them to be killed. We are failing to do our portion in this specific incident and we just proved to every other ally that we are not to be trusted to work with in the future.

Something tells me our allies won’t hesitate to supple up when they feel the need.

and you wonder why they are called deplorables.

I have never wondered about that.

mich is a fucking deplorable

So, Mich, why is Trump constantly bragging about how he has increased the already bloated Defense budget, continued to buy antiquated weapon systems and has ordered some new, already antiquated weapons, if the US should just pull back from all our military commitments?

There are a whole lot of things we could do about climate change, for example, if we cut the DoD budget in half, if our military is no longer needed in the world, wouldn't you agree?

there ya go...

Your ignorant, uniformed, myopic view of the world is beginning to make sense:

"supple": bending and moving easily and gracefully; flexible: her supple fingers | figurative : my mind is becoming more supple.
• not stiff or hard; easily manipulated: this body oil leaves your skin feeling deliciously supple.

SUCKLE: feed (a baby or young animal) from the breast or teat: a mother pig suckling a huge litter.
• [no object] (of a baby or young animal) feed by sucking the breast or teat: the infant's biological need to suckle.
