    Very true. If the Neocons had their way, we would be actively fighting Syria in Syria (rather than just squatting on part of their territory). Be in a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine, and have invaded Iran and North Korea already. That would be our reality if Hillary had won.

    It might have happened if Rand didn't influence Trump but it is impossible to prove that, I for one am grateful that Rand decided to play "good cop" so that Trump would listen to him.

    It's funny to see so many people affected by TDS while Rand is carrying Trump's letters to Moscow.

    The US officially started occupying Syrian land not during the neocon Obama' admin but during Trump's. Remember neocon Bush planned on occupying 7 countries in 5 years but the plan ran into some resistance. Even though they would like to occupy every country in the world, they can only do so much with the resistance they are facing.

    I cannot foresee Hillary doing much worse than Trump in terms of foreign policy.

    U.S. to Send 200 More Troops to Syria
    The United States is sending 200 additional troops to Syria, nearly doubling the Pentagon’s presence there, to help thousands of Kurdish and Arab fighters massing for an assault on the Islamic State’s stronghold of Raqqa, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said here on Saturday.

    This. We'd be at war with Russia over Ukraine and also because they're allied with Syria.

    We have troops in Somalia but we aren't officially occupying it. What I mean by occupation is what is going on east of the Euphrates were we have troops and military bases and have officially told the Syrian govt that they cannot go east of the river.

    This started under Trump and not Obama.

    I know exactly what you meant. You meant you were going to cherry pick a definition that suited your hallucination.

    Kettle calling pot black again. It is because of gullible and taken people like yourself that I now read this forum with a sharp pin ready to test reality whenever I start reading posts from the Trumpsters. It seems like I am not the only one hallucinating around here, the only problem for you is that my hallucination is closer to reality than your hallucinations. I actually try to test my bias every so often and I am willing to bet that the people in your camp will sleep through the Trump admin never to wake up.

    I know the nuance in my post must be very hard to pick up for people who see every illegal immigrant as an invading agent in this country.

    You said we didn't have ground troops in Syria. I proved we did. But I'm hallucinating.

    Go away.

    I wonder sometimes why the biggest morons from the entire internet descend on RPF. Are they are exploiting RPF tolerance? They would be instantly banned from any other forum even if it was on their side of the political spectrum.

    They are designed that way to make us all feel like the political opposition is stupid so we get complacent and think that people can't learn and underestimate their worth.

    Rand, is unfortunately wrong here. The USG, along with its Saudi and Israeli allies should continue to pressure the regime so that it finally dismantles. Iran is not our friend.

    It's good that we have troops in Syria. Trump is wise to keep them there to keep Iran and Syria check against our ally, Israel.

    I hate to break it to you, but the USG, Israel and Saudi Arabia are not our friends either.

    They absolutely are. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise. If they weren't our friends, Trump would sanction them.

    I think so too and if anyone actually listened to him talk about foreign policy issues when he was running for President, they'd know that. Thomas Massey hailed him for what he said. Now, he needs to clear out the war-mongering globalists from his circle and get us out of the Middle East. And may God protect him as he does, because there are going to be a number of people wanting to stop him.

    That would be an epic mistake of geopolitical proportions. Luckily, Trump is intelligent enough to know that Israel and Saudi Arabia are important allies for the US and that must be maintained against the barbaric anti-Semites there.

    Are they close allies because the same people that govern Israel also govern Saudi Arabia? Hmmm.....

    I don't get into conspiracy theories, just history. Historically, Persians have always been the enemies of the Jews and Persians have also tried to influence Phonecia and ancient parts of the Middle East which Israel now has a strong state. Therefore, it is imperative that Israel ally with the Arabs against Iran. Not all of the Arabian tribes are anti-Semitic and the ones running Saudi are surely not.

    Rand Paul should also visit Saudi Arabia and make a strong stand against Iran, if he wants to get anywhere fruitful in his career.
