    Is this another one of those "trump is gonna..." threads, based on anonymous sources?

    None of the Syrian Civil War sources I am following confirm this. Tons of rumors in Syria every day, and I am not even seeing confirmation this rumor exists. As for now, this is just a giant empty story to bullhorn "Russia bad mmmkay" again.

    Also, the US-Russian conflicts have been tiny, at best. Nobody has even been wounded. there have been a couple of arguments at check points and attempts to block vehicles.

    US sends mechanized troops back into Syria

    Bradley fighting vehicles have headed back into eastern Syria, the Pentagon announced Friday, a move that comes after a tense encounter with Russian forces left four U.S. troops lightly injured last month.

    The return of mechanized units also comes as the U.S. military deployed Sentinel radar and increased the frequency of fighter jet patrols over U.S. forces in that part of Syria, according to U.S. Central Command spokesman Navy Capt. Bill Urban.

    “These actions are a clear demonstration of U.S. resolve to defend Coalition forces in the [Eastern Syria Security Area], and to ensure that they are able to continue their Defeat-ISIS mission without interference,” Urban said in an emailed statement. “The Defense Department has previously deployed Bradleys to northeast Syria pursuant to these goals."

    Bradleys from the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team were last sent to Syria in late October 2019 to guard oil infrastructure from Islamic State militants, officials said at the time.

    They were quietly pulled out after roughly a month when combined patrols with Turkish forces “never materialized” and the “mission requirements changed,” a military official in the region previously told Army Times... MORE: https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-...ck-into-syria/

    If that's not good enough for you more sources can be provided.

    Curious, when do YOU think the Republicans lost their way (whatever that way was) ?





    Snot-nosed partisan punks have ruined the US.

    And many, on a Ron Paul board no less, support a 2 bit clown game show tv host who hasn't had an original thought maybe ever.

    There's TODAY'S "Leader" of the "REPUBLICAN" party. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

    It's a shame that bad influences like you are allowed to corrupt what's left of the Ron Paul Movement.

    You're a traitor and I'd neg rep you again if I could. Maybe next time.

    the rest of it though... ha ha. Draft dodging? I don't care one bit. Draft is wrong anyway. I've never condemned somebody for skipping out on Vietnam, "peace piper". I think it is their right to skip out on a war, regardless of reasoning.

    also, why are you ragging on Republicans? Do you think any of us care about Republicans?

    LoL, "peace piper" neg repped me

    Have fun voting for a draft dodging buffoon that's made a mockery of the presidency
    draft dodging as an insult from someone who claims to care about peace. "peace piper"

    Also, Trump made a mockery of the presidency? After Herbert, Clinton, W and Obama, you suddenly think Trump is making a mockery of the presidency?

    Now? Now you care about the integrity of the presidency?

    Trump is making the presidency great again. I love his every tweet. They make me laugh, and they stick it to the MSM, which considering the seditious traitors in the MSM should all be hanged, I think humiliating them day in and day out is merciful. I'm glad he dodged the draft.

    Just rage more.

    And it is a temporary deployment that will help prevent an incident that might be used to get us into a hot war in Syria.

    I think that would be a good thing.
    I don't know if the Iranians would allow Assad to speak to Trump though, they continually refuse Trump's offers to talk to them.

    Probably true. America first (except for Israel)

    Hope he does the right thing & talks with Assad. Kurds have to deal with him sometime.
