The USA has nuclear weapons stored on its bases in Turkey. Is Turkey still an ally even though it is at ODDS with our best interests?

Can we trust them to do right by us behind our backs as they defy us to our face? I dunno. Whatcha think? Rolling over for Putin and Kim and the Saudi Crown Prince is bad enough. Now we are rolling over for Assad in Syria and Erdogan in Turkey? Who(m) will we never roll over for?  You do know that rollovers often kill those who were rolled?

    It is strange to hear the drum beat leading to war coming so loudly from the left. This post was edited by my2cents at October 17, 2019 6:59 AM MDT

    Pompeo and Bolton are both on record as stating they favoured preemptive strikes against North Korea and Iran. Neither are on the left. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at October 17, 2019 6:58 AM MDT

    Yes the right has plenty of war hawks. The left usually does not openly agree with them.

    ???? I have no clue to what you refer m2c. I know YOU do so please explain what you mean by that remark. . I am a PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT and I have no taste for war. Never did. You do not speak for me. Did you think you do? For whom do you believe you speak?  Also and more importantly will you kindly and please name some names of those you say are PROCLAIMING LOUDLY ON THE LEFT FOR WAR? Thanks. Very truly yours...rosieg This post was edited by RosieG at October 17, 2019 7:04 AM MDT

    Trump has opted to use sanctions in with each of the countries you mention. If we are comdemning diplomatic sanctions, how then do we not "roll over" for them if not using military action? And how is that not beating the drum for war? This post was edited by my2cents at October 17, 2019 7:33 AM MDT
