Trump is so weak, and he is making our country weak.. we need to focus on this

at the debates..

Trump kowtows to Russia, China, Turkey... doing what ever they tell him to do.. tipping his hat as he walks backwards out of a room

At the same time, he has complete cowardice if one of our allies aka the Kurds are being threatened with annihilation.. he runs to hide, and shames us by making our military leave women and men who fought along side us to be killed..

The debates tomorrow need to expose this toady..


Enough of the coward in chief.. enough

Edit to add: We need to cut commercials on his cowardice, and the cowardice of his hangers on.. never let anyone forget.. tv fb etc etc..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. Guardian: The worst week for US foreign policy since the Iraq invasion?
Mon Oct 14, 2019, 11:02 AM
Oct 2019

In the week since Donald Trump’s fateful phone conversation with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the US has entirely abandoned the Kurds, its most effective allies in the Middle East, and with them a Syria strategy that was five years in the making.

The Islamic State flag has been raised once more and the last vestige of US credibility as a reliable partner lies crushed under Turkish tank tracks. It has arguably been the worst seven days for US foreign policy since the invasion of Iraq.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/14/trump-syria-worst-week-us-foreign-policy-iraq-invasion

Bush and Cheney - given the green light by Democrats in the Senate - started an invasion that would ultimately cost us cost $1.7 trillion (with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans).

Tens of thousands of people died fighting in the Iraq War - nearly 5,000 of them were U.S. service members who will never come home to their families.

We can't afford to repeat this massive lack of judgment.

to keep them from being slaughtered..

The Kurds have been forced to try get help from the Syrian government.. I mean how insane is that.. they are forced to run into the arms of a Dictator who will in time torture and kill them or stand still while Turkey slaughters them... and in the mean time ISIS is starting to escape and fan out... and from what I have been reading.. Turkey is using ISIS and Taliban fighters to attack the Kurds.. and we did all this in the matter of days..

God help us if we need allies for any national security issue after demonstrating that we are an unreliable ally ourselves. Not to mention the War with ISIS that Trump has declared victory on. The prisons are being abandoned and the ISIS prisoners are pouring out onto the streets. Trump's ridiculously cavalier comment--no worry, they'll all run to Europe--is opening the US to total isolation on the world stage, a pariah in diplomatic circles. Genocide? No big deal. The shame that this man has brought to the country is profound and will take a long, long time from which to recover.

And Putin? He is smiling all the way!

A profile in stupidity and callousness.
