The transfer is "one of the hardest things to do as a president but it has to be done."

I guess sending people to kill or get killed on your behalf is super easy.

Fuck these soldiers and their families. They deserve it for following this leadership.

I don't think it is so simple if you are in the army.

Yes. Let's give it to saudis instead.

I'm so tired of the middle east fighting, I say we give all of them nuclear weapons. They either learn to be civil with each other, or wipe each other off the face of the planet. I'm fine with either outcome. Mutually assured destruction has worked as a deterrent for nearly a century now

Aside from this just being a thoughtless opinion, why are you presenting it here? OP is about Trump propagandizing for a war started by the United States

Because for all of my life we (USA) have been involved in some pointless war in the mid east. Frankly I'm tired of it and any effort to continue to be involved in it should be resisted. My opinion is presented as a way to be finally done with being involved in any conflict over there.

Oil is a hell of a drug to the US. No reason to punish the people of the Middle-East for our addiction.

We've also seen the problems with oil since the 1970's and continue to involve ourselves over there as world police. I'm done with that area of the world and being the police. Let them figure their own problems out, but level the playing field on the way out by nuclearizing everyone. We've had our thumb on the scale for nearly a century now.
