    Here it comes, right on schedule, USA removes 27 guys(!) from the Kurd front and now they are doing what was expected, claiming Turk chemical attacks.... was a brilliant move to get out of there, Obama should have done the same in Libya instead of causing a power vacuum in North Africa.

    https://www.france24.com/en/2019…

    • So 27 guys were preventing a chaotic invasion and it was smart to get them out?yuekit
    • Or you're saying the Kurdish fighters made up the chemical attacks? Not really following the argument here...yuekit
    • correct, because it was not chaotic before even Kurds themselves still can't get along with each other and demand a country as a whole.robotron3k
    • Wait Turkey wants to be a part of the EU, so Brussels will take care of this for sure...robotron3k
    • Libya was a mistake, but this situation is nothing like Libya. Also do you even understand basic concepts like "power vacuum"? I'm guessing you don't.garbage

    • Trump forced the Kurds to dismantle defensive positions on the northeastern front, with the promise of a "safe zone" there.garbage
    • Then the Turkish forces made a very "wink wink" move and moved in immediately, including shelling American troops. This is called a power vacuum.garbage
    • This move benefits Erdogan, Assad, and Putin. If you knew anybody involved in the US military, you'd know that this isn't going over well.garbage

    Sorry, robo... your girl's nothing but a groomed stooge! (¡lolz!)

    Hillary Clinton says Tulsi Gabbard is a 'Russian asset' groomed to ensure Trump reelection

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.c…

    ""They are also going to do third party again," Clinton, 71, said. "I'm not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate," Clinton said, referring to Gabbard, without mentioning the Hawaii representative by name."

    • It is interesting that a Dem has basically only caught fire in Rep circles no? She gives interviews to Brietbart, Tucker, etc. Reluctant to go after Putin.mathinc
    • Only thing I can think of that would make sense that she could be a Rus stooge is that she might capture some of the Ind fallout? Dunno, it's odd.mathinc
    • Oh no she did! Very strange, Hillary gave her clout in a way, but pushed my Tulsi towards the "GOP camp" to sink any Lefty interest. Kinda loco remark too.robotron3k
    • ^ She was already in the GOP camp.. and Hillary doesn't really have any sway. Tulsi appeals to some Ind voters and lost R's.mathinc

    • ... HUGE fucking step off the conspiracy ledge. How about you just accept she's not HARD LEFT on everything?PonyBoy
    • She's dead last.. of 11. Anecdotal, of course but I haven't seen a single person talking about her that wasn't Republican. That's odd.mathinc
    • And I didn't say I believed it.. just saying that the only reason I could see FOR IT is if she was a stop gap between disillusioned Rs going to vote for the Ds.mathinc
    • again... how'd she make it on the debate? Even dead last but to make it on to the national preezy debate... ... must be Russia!! C'mon, dude. :PPonyBoy
    • Alls I'm telling you is she has WAY MORE fire on your side of the aisle. That's odd. Give me one example of Rs coming out with wood for a D.mathinc
    • I haven't heard on R act as if they 'had wood' for any D. However, Gabbard is far more center than her counterparts... and the 'Hannity's' like to point...PonyBoy
    • ... out that fact... usually in astonishment... not out of love. She does seem 'reasonable' and not wanting to go gungho spending Trillions on wild...PonyBoy
    • ... projects or disarming law-abiding people simply out fear. She's simply far more reasonable and people on the right think they could work with her.PonyBoy

    • And remember she endorsed Bernie Sanders as president last time. But she seems to spend most of her time going on Fox News these days.yuekit
    • Personally I think she blew her chance, if she had run a smarter campaign she could have had a chance of winning the primary in an upset like Obama did.yuekit

    • Those conservative Fox News viewers though, almost none of them can actually vote in the Dem primary.yuekit
    • I agree it’s good to reach out, but the focus on that audience alone raises the question of whether she is actually trying to win. She’s at 1% in the polls.yuekit

    Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton

    You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why.

    Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.

    It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.

    • This plays into the notion that the Clintons are somehow 'shadow power brokers.' GOP stereotype. Playing up her R base.mathinc

    hmm the best moderate is tulsi by what it seems from the posts. somehting abou her is to zealot and unreal. I dont like the way she speaks. She a bit too police trained german shepard for me. still looking at all the offerings looks like trump is getting second term.

    • not to say i do agree with alot of what she speaks about. i just get a weird vibe from her with what i have seen which is little. a little to german shepard

    Major Gabbard is def impressive... I'd like to see her debate Trump, I think it would be hard for him, she doesn't have the luggage or weirdness of the other Dum candidates.

    • Well Bernie is a Commie, Kamilla sleeps her way to the top, Warren is a fake Indian, Booker is Sparticus, Tulsi is in a Commie Cult. Did I miss anyone??robotron3k

    The opening statement from Bill Taylor, the acting US ambassador to Ukraine, to the three House committees leading the impeachment inquiry solicited “sighs and gasps,” according to a Politico reporter.

    Andrew Desiderio

    @AndrewDesiderio
    New: Per source in the room, Bill Taylor’s opening statement was 15 pages long and prompted “a lot of sighs and gasps.”

    The opening statements from Maria Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, and Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the EU, were quickly leaked to the press, so it’s likely the same will occur with Taylor’s statement.
