Middle East: Saudis Murder & Dismember Washington Post Contributor

Good luck next time we need to get a local group to help us out to deal with a bad situation. Our opponents - Russian, China, Iran, ISIS, whoever it happens to be - will say "hey remember what happened to the Kurds?"

pretty sure someone in England/France said something exactly like this in 1719, 1819, and 1919
 
Don't worry guys, Marco Rubio is building up to a very strong frown.

This is one of my favorite tactics. Press reports something bad about Trump. GOP pols say “If it’s true, that’s bad.” Then Trump tweets about it and they don’t say anything else.
 
 
At least when we abandoned the Montagnards in Nam we let a lot of them resettle here as refugees. Pretty sure Trump is not offering that deal to any Kurds.

Do they have darker skin and are mostly Muslim? Then hell naw he ain't letting them in. Who cares if they fought on our side against ISIS? They'd be Muslim immigrants from a shithole country, so they're out.
 
Well, even in these bizarre times this tidbit is interesting: Pat Robertson has condemned Trump's decision to withdraw US troops from Syria and leave the Kurds to their fate. He says he is "appalled", and adds "The President of the United States is in great danger of losing the Mandate of Heaven if he permits this to happen." I was unaware that Trump had any Mandate from Heaven to govern, but at least Robertson has said something negative about Trump, weird as it is.
 
Well since we know our foreign policy is up for sale, I wonder what Trump received from Erdogan in exchange for pulling out of Syria. A coverup of the Kashoggi murder? An investigation into Elizabeth Warren? 100 Twitter trolls in the 2020 election?
 

But we're getting states rights "constitutionalist" federal judges who will enforce traditional morality and keep da queers in line and transgenders out of women's restrooms and allow our beloved POTUS to literally do whatever he wants! Isn't that all worth a growing body count of darker-skinned non-Americans, and completely wrecking all of our traditional alliances?
 
Thread from Brett McGurk, special envoy to combat ISIS under both Obama and Trump. Also worked under Bush.
