1. Could Congress add funding to the CR for US to arm the #SDF with Stingers MANPADS? I think they took it out of the NDAA. It will allow them to defend themselves from Assad and the Iranians. Can be trained & fully equipped by the time Sec Def Mattis' term ends February 28.
2. Here is a report about how it was taken out of the NDAA. How about just putting back in the CR? What do you say @LindseyGrahamSC @SenTomCotton @SenJackReed? Asking for some friends. ✌️And don't put the 30 day notice in. Make it five. @DefenseUnits
3. Please ask you members of Congress to add MANPADS for the SDF in the CR. Trump surrendered to ISIS and now Assad and Iran can attack them. Stand with Mattis. Congress can help. Time is short. Do it today. Please. @SenSchumer @NancyPelosi @TulsiPress @maziehirono @brianschatz

1. Why does @msnbc @TheRevAl have non experts like @michelleinbklyn opining about a President's power? What other area of expertise is subject of unqualified folks giving opinions? How about non MD guest discuss brain surgery or how to stick a screwdriver in your fuse box?
2. Here's Yale Law School prof on @realDonaldTrump lacking power to declare a national emergency to build a wall. If you don't read the @nytimes should you actually be on NYC news set? No, Trump Cannot Declare an ‘Emergency’ to Build His Wall nyti.ms/2RzudZw @maddow
3. Every time you put these false arguments on as fact you are engaged in propaganda for someone who very likely is a Kremlin agent. Do you jobs. Report facts and use only experts to give opinions. Michelle is great. I enjoy her. But she is not a Constitutional law professor.

1. Want to stop #MAGA #BuildTheWall?

@SpeakerPelosi should make funding limited to only funding costs of eminent domain actions on US border. Suits take years & will turn NM, CA, Texas & Arizona against @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenSchumer @GOPLeader @senatemajldr.
2. Then put in a claw back trigger. The money will just sit there until we impeach & remove @realDonaldTrump (soon) or at the outside he is out on Jan 20, 2021 for sure because he lost Texas and seat held by @JohnCornyn (who blocks me) due to eminent domain issue.
3. This plan blocks any political bump @realDonaldTrump hopes to get from his steel wall issue and puts the money in what is essentially an escrow pending the end of the Trump Tyranny. @TheDemocrats

1. From September 2018: Where is bin Laden's partner in crime, Ayman al-Zawahiri? @CNN cnn.it/2QcrpxX
2. There are more Al-Qaeda now than ever before. Estimate in Syria alone is as many as 20,000. From March 2018. “The resurgence of Al-Qaeda” goo.gl/BjJmxR, via @LowyInstitute
3.Turkey is allied with Al-Qaeda. That's a fact. If we are at war with Al-Qaeda by virtue of 2001AUMF aren't we at war with Turkey too? What's the plan for dealing with the 20,000 Syrian Al-Qaeda that US economy is supporting by continuing trade with Turkey?

With 2018 in it's last moments, a new stage of the Syrian war have started & the end of the war is aproaching as time passes. 2018 has been another important year with many political & military developments: (1)

With W. shore of #Euphrates river secured by #SAA on December 2017, #SDF continued securing the E. one against #ISIS . Between 3/1/2018-22/2/2018 troops secured entire Shu'aytat region. However, a new development N.W. #Syria will provoke the delay of #CizireStorm some months: (3)

#Assad: we didn't send people to #Idlib, they wanted to go to Idlib because all these groups have the same incubator and ideas. (around min 5) rt.com/news/428299-as…
#Assad on the #SDF: we share much in common, including profound mistrust of the Americans, we are going to negotiate with the SDF, if no negotiations, we are going to liberate by force, with or without the Americans in the picture (around min 12)
#Assad: #Israel is panicking because it lost its dear ones, #alQaeda/#Nusra. Both targeted our air defenses, Israel & #US inflicted some loss, but thanks to #Russia, the situation is getting better. Recent attacks by the Americans, English and French prove this point.
