Now that Turkey has bombed American positions, are you ready to admit that Trump made a colossal blunder? Or it was "just an accident?"
If Obama had done this, you'd be screaming for his head.

@LeopoldBloom libertarian style diplomacy wins again.

@GardenSage We should never have been there in the first place, but once we were there, any withdrawal should be orderly and with the full involvement of our allies.
If Obama had cut and run like this, conservatives would have been hysterical. I’m gratified by the number of conservatives who have criticized Trump over this.

Lol ok then 🙄@LeopoldBloom

@GardenSage Even people on the far right who generally approve of Trump, are saying this latest move was a mistake.
But that's all it is - a mistake. It's not a crime. There's a difference.

@LeopoldBloom it’s not even a mistake
It was a calculated move to assert diplomacy

@GardenSage No, it wasn't "calculated." That would have been a gradual withdrawal on a timetable, with our allies in the loop [b]and our own military leaders involved[/b]. And it didn't "assert diplomacy," Trump caved in to Erdogan. We just don't know why yet.
People like you are true believers, where whatever your savior does is automatically right, just because he's doing it. If Obama had done exactly the same thing, you'd be screaming your head off.

My savior? Lol bro... I’m a libertarian.
That’s a card liberals play a lot.. it’s one of your public shame tactics. Kinda like bullying... where if I align just ONE of my ideas with Trump, he’s my messiah? Fuck outta here. Trump is a bullish businessman and this has his style written all over it. Your refusal to see anything that way only adds to the validity of the original post. @LeopoldBloom

@GardenSage And yet you're still going to support him, even if it's proven that he used his office to bully a foreign country into interfering in our election on his behalf. So you might as well be a MAGA-hat wearing cretin.
