Face it, we're stuck in the middle east: if we stay - it will be more years of crap, if we leave - hell will breaks loose and everything will be wasted
let russia deal with it, they're keen on it
So let russia expand its sphere of influence in the middle east?
Are you even an American?
obviously we've done a shit job at it and it's not economically worthwhile
their influence isn't worth as much as it used to be
we've revolutionized american oil production in the last 20 years
its costed us way more money than it has ever netted us
Thank bush; but now what will happen when we dip out of the middle east?
only one way to find out
You're saying we should leave the middle east; what will happen?
we'll just have to see what happens
in the meantime we can save money
Thats not a great way to convince people
they don't need to be convinced
they don't have a say in it
*Senate*
trump can pull the troops out on his own
Without congress approval?
yes
because it's not a war
trump has like full control over the military
the only thing that exists there is like a u.n. resolution or something
What do you mean by full control?
full control, they only answer to him
Clearly checks and balance are in the shit in this theory
NOO
not for the military
the president is considered commander in chief for a reason
The military main job is to defend the constitution
Not to serve the president
the constitution tells them to obey his orders
and sure, if he gave an unconstitutional order
they don't have to obey
but he has pretty much full latitude to tell them what to do
he can micromanage troops as much as he wants
Where does it say in the constitution, the military has to obey the commander in chief?
you must obey orders of your superior
that's how it works
he is the superior of all
