I think that would refer to a meeting scheduled for today. Hmmmn, why does a cancelled meeting even bother her if she's just going to walk out? Nancy PelosiVerified account @SpeakerPelosi 19h19 hours ago More Copy link to Tweet Embed Tweet I am deeply concerned that the White House has canceled an all-Member classified briefing on the dangerous situation the President has caused in Syria, denying the Congress its right to be informed as it makes decisions about our national security. 2
dpberr Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) If everyone is losing their minds over Syria, just wait until Trump (or another President) finally pulls the plug on Afghanistan. At least in Syria, you have the Russians, a resilient Syrian government, battle-tested Kurds and a state (Turkey) that can be hurt via sanctions. In Afghanistan, there will be nobody to stop the inevitable Taliban offensive and obscenely bloody wave of reprisal killings. Edited October 17, 2019 by dpberr 1

ALF Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 • YPG would withdraw 20miles YPG is an acronym whose translation means People's Protection Units. It is the home grown defense forces of the Kurdish area of Syria The USA have usually supported the YPG militia in its fight against ISIL, both with air support in combat and with embedded US Special Forces. The Kurdish military force would have to withdraw from the Turkey border. Will the Kurdish civilians who have always lived in this 20 mile region be allowed to stay in their homes ?

I mean we gotta be consistent.... Germany is pretty much gone now so I say yes let them enjoy their love of globalism and the EU. Korea as well. Trump did his part backing of N.Korea so South Korea should step up and build a better defense. Japan and Poland I would stay if desired by them. The Polish and Hungarian leaders know which way is up and Japan has been good with us for a long time now.

It’s the 21st Century. We can be back there in hours if we need to be. All of this is just legacy of wars gone by long ago and a private contractor machine that has an ever hungry customer base called the US military.

Consistency does NOT mean comparing strategic bases that have been in place for a half a century with a few hundred troops on the Syrian border. But no one expects any better from you. .

Tiberius Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Romney, 72, expressed frustration that the U.S. had caved to Turkey's demands, asking, "Are we so weak and so inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America? Turkey?" https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mitt-romney-on-turkey-cease-fire-american-honor-has-already-been-tarnished
