I was thinking about dumping this in another thread but none of them felt appropriate. US special operations chief confirms end of CIA support for anti-Assad forces in Syria Report: Trump ending secret CIA program to arm Syrian rebels This is the best news in a while. The insane thing I have seen come from this is the Left is attacking this as some form of cooperation with Russia.
John McCain will be up out of his hospital bed roaring and shouting when he hears this. Good move by Trump/CIA, supplying the "rebels" has done nothing but arm Al Qaeda/ISIS and prolonged this conflict. Now if the US would just withdraw all it's troops and mercenaries from Syria.
McCain already tweeted about it, and did the Russia thing as predicted. But hey.. At least he's respectful and doesn't say stupid things on Twitter.
So they say, could just be Fake News. Can't believe a word that comes out of their mouths, It's the CIA we're talking about.
I know what you mean, the US is the only chance the Kurds have but imo they are going to get shafted at the end of this. The US will side with Turkey.
if not arming actual islamist fundamentalists with ties to al qaeda means that we are siding with russia then i'll shove a russian flag up my ass right now and sing the russian national anthem... i love this quote from the article though.. "President Trump is ending a covert CIA operation to arm and train Syrian rebels fighting against President Bashar al-Assad, something Russia has long desired, according to a Wednesday report in the Washington Post." if russia knows about a covert CIA operation then i think its time to end it.
damn, for being such a warmonger and having such a trigger finger, he sure is doing the opposite right? I mean, trump has been called many things, and again, has a perfect opportunity to wipe nk and syria off the face of the earth, were he so inclined, but instead, he decides that our policies of arming rebels is a bad thing. Which it is, and always has been. going back to iran contra and even before in south america. Its always backfired on us and fucked us over in the end.
everyone knows about it haha. Its no secret and hasn't been for a long time. But that quote right there puts on full display the total and complete bias by most of the mainstream media.
