"I, in my great and unmatched wisdom..."

How can anyone say this man is not mentally ill?

"including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate."

How can anyone say this man is not a liar?.../1
"It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory...."

How can anyone say this man is not stupid. He clearly does not understand the difference between Kurds, Syrian Arabs, Turks, etc....2/
"I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)"

How can anyone say this man is not delusional? When the hell did he obliterate the Turkish economy? ....
Despite all of his stupid, delusional tweets that demonstrate mental illness, there are the most disturbing ever. Our president understands NOTHING about circumstances in Middle East and is incapable of accepting his own ignorance.

1. Kurds are being massacred because Trump is too stupid to understand what is going on in Syria. Ignorance is killing people. He justifies by saying he doesn't want "endless, senseless wars." We are not fighting there. Things are calm, BECAUSE we are there. This would be a bit..
2...like Trump saying he wants to pull our 25,000 troops out of South Korea to stop "endless war" there. He doesnt understand the difference between us keeping the peace & waging war. *That* is why Kurds have been safe, because we're in what is literally called "the safe zone"...
3...it is also called "the peace zone." We are not fighting there, we are not dying. We are protecting the Kurds from Turkey, working to protect Turkey from any actions by Kurds and keeping ISIS from getting into the area. Now, we have pulled out because this imbecile doesnt...

1. Reps like @RepAdamSchiff & top legal minds like @neal_katyal need to understand: What Trump is doing with delays, refusing to abide by subpoenas, refusing witnesses *has been his standard operating procedure for decades.* He learned it from Roy Cohn...

@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 2...he is making ridiculous arguments and - although he is disturbed - probably knows they are ridiculous because this is what he has done constantly in every type of proceeding. It will not stop until people start getting locked up for inherent contempt. Examples....
@RepAdamSchiff @neal_katyal 3...take the famous housing discrimination case: Trump refused to comply with subpoenas, filed bogus challenges, ignored court orders, filed false affidavits, always reacted like any attempt to obtain information was outrageous....

That @LindseyGrahamSC is willing to proceed down the path of destabilizing Ukraine by suggesting that Shokin was a "victim" & not an impediment to reform against corruption shows how despicable the Senator's "politics over all" mindset has become & how he depends on ignorance...
@LindseyGrahamSC 2...of @LindseyGrahamSC voters to engage in the very kind of corruption that has ripped apart Ukraine for decades. The image above is NOT new. It is the cover of a Ukrainian magazine for lawyers from before Biden said a word....
@LindseyGrahamSC 3...@LindseyGrahamSC either knows the truth or has no place in government. So, if you want to know reality, here is the entire legal report on Shokin -the new @GOP "good guy" because he was a man who prosecuted and arrested political enemies and absolved.. kyivpost.com/media/pdf/LQ6.…

"The military, remembering Trump’s December order out of Syria and subsequent reversal, is waiting to learn if Trump will follow through with withdrawal this time."
'Trump wrote, "if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)."

There was no expression of concern for the Kurds.'

2) Here is the spreadsheet where I'll put information that is date-specific. Let's see if that works as a supplement to the thread.

Ex-FBI Official Rips Trump’s Deteriorating Mental Health as he Claims ‘Messiah-Like Wisdom’. rawstory.com/2019/10/ex-fbi…
Reports of a second whistleblower against Trump have the commander-in-chief becoming increasing unglued, a top former FBI official warned on Monday.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace interviewed Frank Figliuzzi, the former assistant director of counterintelligence at the FBI.
“Whistleblowers in the public — and I know this from having to defend policies that were unpopular with the public that were revealed by whistleblowers — whistleblowers have almost universal credibility with the public because they have nothing to gain and everything to lose,”

Today, President Donald J Trump Spoke with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey 🇹🇷 by phone. Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria 🇸🇾.
The United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial "Caliphate," will no longer be in the immediate area.

The United States Government has pressed France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪, and other European nations 🇪🇺, from which many captured ISIS fighters came, to take them back, but
they did not want them and refused. The US will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the US taxpayer. Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years in the wake of the defeat of the territorial "Caliphate"

After almost 5 years of fight, #ISIS "caliphate" has been eliminated from de map. Many actors have contributed in the liberation of an 300000 Km^2 zone between Syria & Irak : (1)
- #ISF / #PMU : 150214 km^2 (52 %) [#Coalition & #IAF]
- #SAA : 81950 Km^2 (28 %) [#RuAF, #IRGC & #PMU]
- #SDF : 44054 Km^2 (15 %) [#Coalition]
- #FSA /#TFSA : 8866 Km^2 (3,2 %) [#Coalition & #TSK]
- #KF : 4687 Km^2 (1,6 %) [#Coalition]
- #LAF : 350 Km^2 (0,2 %) [#RuAF & #LAF]
With the end of #ISIS "caliphate" the terrorist fight enter in a new phase in #Syria.
After loose control of the villages & towns militants will increase their presence as sleeper cells around the country as we see in #Irak. Nowadays many areas still have #ISIS presence: (3)
