Can you believe it? It seems impossible. The Russian GRU puts contracts out to kill American forces in Afghanistan. And Trump does nothing...his only excuse: ignorance, that he was not doing his job. It is just a another day for Cadet Bonespurs, for whom corruption is just...well...way of life.
One day Trump gets a phone call from Turkey’s Erdogan, whose Halkbank owns not only Trump but Jared, Giuliani and others in the Trump administration. And he orders our forces in Syria to immediately abandon our Kurdish allies fighting ISIS, so the Turkish army could destroy the YPG, the Kurdish democratic armed forces.
These were our allies fighting ISIS! THESE. WERE. OUR. ALLIES.
They protected Americans. They fought against and defeated the most barbaric group of Wahabi radicals that the world had ever seen (another evil spawn of the corrupt Saudi theocracy). Do you remember the 2014 siege of Kobani? ISIS, the most extreme right-wing Islamic radicals, a group that institutionalized sexual slavery of Yazidis girls and women while committing genocide against thousands of civilians, seemed unstoppable. They had taken over most of eastern Syria and northern Iraq, initiating a evil medieval theocratic totalitarianism. The only thing that stood between them and all of the free areas of Syria were the YPG in Kobani—and they beat these evil assholes like a drum.
This was such a clear case of good vs. evil that it drew--and killed--volunteer heroes from America, such as Keith Broomfield, or Britain (Anna Campbell) and elsewhere—reminiscent of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade during the Spanish Civil War. The YPG promotes full democratic, gender equality within its ranks and its women warriors were particularly feared by ISIS murderers. With the help of American special forces and air power, ISIS was destroyed as a political force. But like SARS Coronavirus 2, it requires vigilance to prevent it from re-emerging. The fighting goes on, the war is not over and the Kurds are fighting it.
And Trump betrayed them by ordering our forces to run away, just run away. So that Erdogan’s tanks could overrun the Kurds. How can anyone, Republican, Democrat or independent, truly believe that Trump is the real Commander-in-Chief of American forces? There are no other words for it—Trump is not just loathsome, he is un-American. To hear that the Russians put a bounty on American soldiers and Trump did nothing? Well, not really unexpected, is it?
Do you remember when it wasn’t hard to feel patriotic on Independence Day? It has been such a long time.
