Re: America - Will we stand or will we fall
By the time Trump took office in 2016 the fate of Syria was a fait accompli.
Obama`s second and final time to take action and his second terrible mistake was in 2013
after the Sarin gas attacks on civilians. The year before he made the "red line' statement.
Assad crossed the line and Obama did nothing. The world waited for repercussions. There
were none.
While Obama dithered Vladimir Putin negotiated with Assad to give up his chemical weapons.
Assad got to stay in power and Obama got a way to save face by claiming success without military
action. Here is the full article:

Re: America - Will we stand or will we fall
This is a fascinating article (and thank you for the link - interesting how even Hilary Clinton and John Kerry wanted to do more for the Syrian rebels) but whereas Obama fucked up, Trump betrayed allies who were at the forefront of the war against ISIS and at the same time handed over a huge military intelligence coup to the Russians.

Re: America - Will we stand or will we fall
In 1975, I was a freshman in high school. My 1st class of the day was history with Mr. Schenk. Mr. Schenk grew up in Germany during the late Weimar era and then though the National Socialist era. After WWII he came to America. He had lived and knew history like no one I have ever met. He stated in one class ' Russia will become a capitalist nation and America will become a socialist nation in 50 years.'
The class laughed and said no way.
Here we are. Mr. Schenk only missed the date by 4 years.
He then said it would only last a few years then there would be a massive backlash. I believe he is correct and it is going to be epic.

Re: America - Will we stand or will we fall
So i see Trump wrote some new Firearm rules in yesterday for concealed carry mainly of personal firearms to certain law individuals.
Off course later today Biden walks in and just goes Nah! lets scrap it. As he will more then likely in first week just about turn the Trump boat upside down.

Re: America - Will we stand or will we fall
Would think anyone with eyes in the USA would see what shitholes Seattle etc have become, I even saw Venice beach has turned into a parasite paradise.
Liberalism to the extreme, I wonder if kids are busy sniffing soy hazelnut lattes, while their girlfriends grow armpit hair to their hips
