. Obama, as far as we know, never said a similar thing, but then, Trump didn’t enable ISIS to kill thousands of people, like Obama did, either. As between the two, I’m less appalled at the vulgar statement.
Just quoting a brief part of this post.
Folks, this ISIS was real, real BIG trouble in the Middle East, they really are and I shouldn’t limit it to the ME,
They’ve attacked in England, France, Sri Lanka, Germany, Philippines and I’d have to say here too in the US. Afghanistan.
ISIS was and remains a great evil but they are definitely on their backheel. Terror as a force is pretty scary and they are ruthless.
Did one know, the Christians in the ME, though, always assuredly persecuted, were probably better off under Saddam, one can argue if we should have gone into Iraq, that is not 15 years ago, so just the invasion wasn’t bad enough, then, one the country was pacified largely, we withdrew troops in 2011.
This is all beyond terrible and we can not create messes and then, let them just lie there.
Trump got out of the way, let the military do their job and of course, we have our great allies, the SDF with Kurds and Christians and others.
Plenty of Westerners have volunteered to fight with the Kurdish troops, some have died, they certainly have from the US, UK, Australia and I believe other comments.
This was a festering problem that needed to be dealt with. I’m sorry, Trump said something in a private conversation back in 2005, 2007? just doesn’t cut it with me.
