I misread that sentence, I think you’re right, it’s clearly saying that if the troops leave then Kobane would fall. It definitely seems part of any ‘safe zone’ the Turks would establish, being right on the border.
That was the president’s lawyers revving the bus up to throw Pence under it, just so you know.
Geraldo called the whistleblower a “rat” and suggested he would like him beaten or killed. Then he brushed off the Ukraine call as just a real estate guy performing the art of the deal, which… yeah, that’s the crime. He won’t be turning on Trump any time soon.
I definitely missed this bc I ignore all of nun’s fights, and to be fair I don’t think Trump is doomed, but he’ll be impeached for sure. That’s a yuge difference between him and Reagan.
If he stays in office despite impeachment what difference will it make to anyone?
Starting to think they might not be sending them by accident, he’s going start waterboarding his staff to find the leaks.
For completeness here’s the Turkish explanation. It’s not insane, I’d possibly be inclined to believe some version of this is correct, though that their precise reply was not actually so precise. It would seem madness of them to target US and French troops. Though only slightly less madness of them to try hitting the SDF if they knew the US etc. were there.
This is actually really bad. He helped pierce the Right Wing News Bubble ever so slightly with actual facts.

Well, he’ll be only the third President ever to be impeached, and Reagan wasn’t, so that’s something.
Wait, now I’m talking about Reagan. I apologize everyone.
I’ll just cede here. If Trump gets impeached but not removed, it means absolutely nothing. There we go.

SA paying for our troops makes sense to mush brain.

Suruc, Turkey is a Kurdish town fwiw. Turkey bombing both Suruc and Kobane is definitely a possibility.

President Strickland ftw
Talk about masks off. The president just confirmed the US army is a mercenary organisation who can be hired out at a reasonable rate for any little military dispute you might be having. They gave us money so we’re going to kill people for them. Be sure to thank a veteran today.

Erik Prince is going to be mad, he’s been pushing his mercenaries for hire a lot lately

Guessing that SA is paying for US troops in whatever Rube-Goldberg way Mexico is (or isn’t?) paying for the wall, but the suggestion alone should trigger his immediate deposition.

Extra hot take here, but general mattis (lowercase intentional, burn) is a pussy to the max if he doesn’t say something now.
Let’s get this shit in our armed forces ads. President Foot Ouchie is selling our soldiers to the highest bidder.

Cool, so the US armed forces is a bunch of for-rent mercenaries now like the golden company. Cool, cool. I hope Iran doesn’t have any dragons.

Which sort of leaves the only real value to be that you can list Trump as a former client, thus netting you the clout to grift scores of rubes. Not that bad a trade off if you’re into grifting, a skill that will serve you well in prison.
