You're assuming the status quo. There is a real possibility that Trump can do some thing stupid (or stupider than he already has) to so outrage Ryan, that Ryan will do the right thing (if possible) and put our country first, and not his party or ideology.
Postscript: On topic, Trump's comment on Syria is an example of an inexperienced person who won't listen to others and acts spontaneously.
No.. Actually Trump is the FIRST PRESIDENT in too long a time to STOP repeating the SAME ASSININE mistakes about "turning the Arab world into Unicorn Democracies" .. We've had some years bombing 4 Arab countries a year since Clinton. Didn't seem to be learning how naive and STUPID we are about interventions. Almost --- got Obama hosed in Syria. Fortunately --- Putin backed him down and saved his ass on that one.
I'm all for ending our INSANE Middle East policy.. Those countries HAVE TO BE RUN by despots and thugs. That's the history of it and the people tend to prefer to stay alive under those conditions rather than end up looking like the garbage dump that Raqqa is today..T
Too bad Assad is a tyrant. that's life in the Arab world.
No Spring this Spring. Sorry war hawks..
Trump has no clue. His reactions are not thought out, and he does not have the knowledge, experience or temperament to be President of the United States.
We have to learn from history, on that we agree. Bush, "bring it on" and Trump, "Fire and Fury" was reactive nonsense something Clinton and Obama avoided.
The problems in the middle east are formidable, and the result of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the industrial worlds lust for oil.
These FACTS should be the center of any discussion on US foreign policy.
By George.. That's 100% bullshit. How can you BE so wrong? When Clinton launched that Monica Lewinsky night bombardment of Iraq -- he made the SAME ACCUSATIONS ABOUT SADDAM on TV that GW Bush later did. Go listen..
We never went to war for oil.. Where the **** is it?
And the Brits screwed up the map post Ottoman Empire. Over tea and crumpets. Are THEY busting their budgets to plant Arab Spring Unicorn seeds there?
Trump HAS A CLUE.. From my Libertarian perspective perhaps the ONLY GOOD clue he's ever has as President.. He wants to STOP the stupid neo-Con policy of Bring Democracy and free markets to these places that NEED a shotgun wielding, dungeon owning madman in order to STOP inter-Arab and inter-Muslim wars over there.
The only thing that KEEPS the Sunni/Shia rifts controlled IS a despot. And the people just want to live. And they LIKE their Sharia law and oppression of women and govt patronage jobs enough that the moron leader can STEAL his share of the oil and the Foreign Aid money to build 12 Palaces with dungeons. .
what U want? You want us to run Assad, the Russians, AND IRAN out of there to install a Yale educated puppet???
What you call bullshit was history. Clinton didn't send tens of thousands of our troops into Iraq. Bush did, and not because Saddam planned 911 or had nuclear weapons.
Obama promised to end the the Iraq invasion and bring the troops home, something negotiated by Bush II. Obama did what he promised, but not all the way. When all the facts are known by a new president, his tune will change, if he listens to experts and learns from experience - trump can not do either (at least he has never shown that ability).
You're still pumping out the same lies. We've been over this ground at least 1000 times already. As always, snowflakes continue to deny reality.
