Ill-considered, yes, but only from an America point of view. This has got to be a second Christmas for Putin.
Isn't this what we should suspect when the American president is the preferred candidate of a foreign leader who has malice for America? There's a reason why people like Putin aren't allowed to vote in American elections, or why he couldn't be the American president. He is an enemy of America, but a friend of Trump's.
Over 40% of Americans continue support the same candidate Putin supports, which candidate has suspiciously undermined treaties with Iran, withdrawn American troops from Syria ("By giving Turkey a green light to invade northern Syria, the U.S. upended the balance of power in the Middle East with a single stroke. Russia is the biggest winner." - WSJ), and now touched off this latest powder keg with Iran that has Iraq attempting to expel the US - all big wins for Putin and losses for American citizens, whose lives have just become a little more dangerous.
So you're looking for the Trump replacement to make America great again, or at least to undo some of the harm Trump has done.
Another who looks for Putin under his bed every night. At least half of the population finds your view to be ridiculous.
We had less than 50 troops in a position to block Turkey. The only green light they got after they informed us of their invasion was to remove those troops, and demand that their safety zone in Syria not be any larger than they stated.
What would you be saying now if we went to war with Turkey to stop them ?
It was Obama that allowed russia to invade and keep Ukrainian territory, and denied the Ukrainians weapons to kill Russian tanks. Did you accuse Obama of being in bed with Russia ?
Yep, Trump has done a lot of harm. a roaring economy, historic lows in unemployment overall, as well as for women, Blacks and Hispanics. A rebuilt military whose members got a raise in pay for the first time in ten years.
Undermined treaties with iran? We had no treaties with iran. Treaties require approval by congress. The iran nuclear agreement would never have passed congress, so Obama refused to submit it to congress. So the peoples representatives had no say in the agreement, it was solely an Obama deal.
It was bad, and guaranteed iran nuclear weapons in 12 years, 5 of which have passed.
Trumps new trade deal for north America has even helped your country.
