Gen Mattis resigns

It wasn't long ago u saw terrorist attacks every day on TV, ISIS taking large amounts of land in the middle east, running around in our trucks and cutting heads off. That has stopped. I'd say overall, foreign policy is MUCH better. North Korea was firing off missiles left and right. That has stopped. I don't buy the sky is falling. Stop letting the media tell you how to think.
Foreign policy was much better because of Mattis. How is this confusing to people?

Nevermind, I answered my own question. It’s the same conservatives that haven’t figured out they support a liberal.
 
Republicans are pro tariffs and anti Middle East, and cool with increasing the national debt. When you bring those points up they say you’re a socialist lol.

Not Pub but if by “anti-Middle East” you mean anti-intervention then yes, many supporters of the President will concur. Liberals used to feel the same way

Lol you are blinded by the anti trump bias. Trump is still your president.
 

Well Obama letting Putin "hack our democracy" wasn't a good start. Allowing ISIS to explode in the middle east wasn't a good start. Not applying real pressure to NK wasnt a good start. Giving IRAN 400 million dollars! People forget/dismiss how bad Obama was in foreign policy. Absolutely abysmal
 
For all 6 of you CNN/MSNBC snowflakes in this thread. 5+ more years.

If you were expecting me to disagree on these points I hate to disappoint you. That said, Obama isn't what this thread is about, feel free to start a new thread about Obama.

You said you were worried about WW3. My point was you should have been much more worried years ago than now.
 
I just feel sorry for the people who thought Trump was good for the country. How could you not see it? The guy has had more gaffs and embarrassing moments than there are days in the year. At an international meeting of the world’s leaders he, as the representative of our country, was literally laughed at. He made us the literal laughing stock of the world

Do people still bite at these ?
 
LOL at this...

I read the letter... Disagreement with the President on a few certain things does not mean his letter was intended to be a wake up call to America... Maybe, just maybe they disagreed...

The funniesr part of this whole thing is you libs... You hated the Mattis appointment. He was too tough, too barbaric... We needed to stay on Obama's failing Middle East apology tour...it was gonna militarize the govt... It was the beginning of WWIII...ETC ETC ETC BLAH BLAH BLAH... now, all of a sudden, you're a big fan.. .What gives?

Jimbob, I don’t disagree with everything you’ve said in this thread, but you make all of us on the right sound like buck-tooth, inbred, rednecks.

Buck tooth people have a sound? Asking for a friend.

How quickly y’all forgot Obama’s campaign for 08. I do look forward to the new terrorist group we get out of Syria. I only assume because Trump is following Obama’s ISIS plan.
 
What did I say that was biased? Once again I’m happy Trump is wrecking the political system. Long term it will be better once we rebuild from the ashes.

I'm curious, where do you get your information or news from?

Leaving Iraq in 2007-2008 and leaving Syria are far from the same. We have 2000 troops in Syria most of which arent in combat. We had over 100k troops in Iraq. This is overblown.

Google news feed. I then read numerous articles on the same topic.

I prefer Washington post though. It’s left leaning but they are pretty acurrate when staying the facts. If you can’t ignore political leanings you’ll always be a sheep.

Saying I get news from right, left, and center leaning news sites does say it all. Apparently all the qualified conservative defense secretary candidates disagree with Trump.

At the end of the day you blindly follow trump. If trump disagrees with an expert they are wrong not trump.

Trump isn't in the business of staying in other countries. I applaud what he and Mattis were able to help accomplish with others in the region and that is squash ISIS. The ideology will never die or go away but the last 2 years ISIS has been essentially defeated. A far cry from where we were under Obama. Time will tell on the rest of his foreign policy. He still have 5+ years
 
How do you know Mattis disagrees on leaving Syria?


“Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position. The end date for my tenure is February 28, 2019”

I side with the guy that has had a career in military operation not the businessman when it comes to military operations.

It didn't work out. They got a lot accomplished. Time to move on. Trump hires and fires. This shouldn't be that big or a surprise. They obviously disagree on issues but they both got a lot accomplished. The media like always is using this to show "see we told you".
 
No I agree with Trump. These numbers aren’t relevant to the president. When the economy crashes in the near future I don’t blame trump. It was going to happen.

He will get blame because he claims credit for the good times.

When the economy crashes in the near future? Interesting. I do wonder sometimes if there are never trumpers out there that would actually like to see the American economy collpapse and people take a hit financially just to say "told you". You wouldn't be in the crowd would you casa?

I’d like to see the economy crash but it doesn’t have to do with trump. I don’t agree with the government printing money and forcing us to be dependent on a worthless currency.

It’s too far gone. Neither party cares about the national debt. It’s not if, it’s when.

Wow. You want to see the American economy collapse. I'm done debating with you. That's absurd thing to say and says a lot about your views. We are done.

I didn’t collapse it. There are consequences for actions. Both ten left and right are doing what they can to crash the economy.
