We are actively supporting two groups that are killing one another.

2018-03-07 17:19:11 UTC  

Yea but we always do that

2018-03-07 17:19:25 UTC  

We have a habit of supporting the people who're least likely to win

2018-03-07 17:19:32 UTC  

Just to have a horse in the race

2018-03-07 17:19:34 UTC  

I'm not saying that we have a corrupt foreign policy.

2018-03-07 17:19:38 UTC  

And cause more destabilization

2018-03-07 17:19:47 UTC  

I'm denying it's existence.

2018-03-07 17:20:00 UTC  

Well corrupt would imply it isnt working exactly as it is intended

2018-03-07 17:20:10 UTC  

And because it does exist, it is working exactly as intended

2018-03-07 17:20:16 UTC  

Corrupt means that we say one thing and then do another.

2018-03-07 17:20:24 UTC  

We literally have no foreign policy right now.

2018-03-07 17:20:43 UTC  

Well no it's just acting dishonestly

2018-03-07 17:20:44 UTC  

Two groups killing each other, that we support, are proof of that.

2018-03-07 17:20:56 UTC  

Which we do, do.

2018-03-07 17:20:57 UTC  

Lol

2018-03-07 17:21:10 UTC  

But yea that's the point of the policy

2018-03-07 17:21:22 UTC  

Russia should just run right over Turkey since we're just going to stand there like jackasses.

2018-03-07 17:21:28 UTC  

We need shit from Turkey i.e. a NATO position in the east

2018-03-07 17:21:31 UTC  

Seriously, what are we paying our troops for right now?

2018-03-07 17:21:36 UTC  

But we need the Kurds to fight ISIS and Syria

2018-03-07 17:21:41 UTC  

And uh

2018-03-07 17:21:47 UTC  

Force projection

2018-03-07 17:21:48 UTC  

Idfk

2018-03-07 17:21:59 UTC  

I know they do things

2018-03-07 17:22:09 UTC  

As there is always work to be done in the military

2018-03-07 17:22:09 UTC  

So...we're paying our military to exist?

2018-03-07 17:22:18 UTC  

A lot of fucking work.

2018-03-07 17:22:26 UTC  

Well we perpetuate it's existence

2018-03-07 17:22:30 UTC  

Even if we were in no war

2018-03-07 17:22:33 UTC  

The military and politics need to be separated.

2018-03-07 17:22:43 UTC  

The state would still keep it up as a security apparatus

2018-03-07 17:22:50 UTC  

As the majority of states do

2018-03-07 17:23:07 UTC  

As they should, however, why bother having deployed troops if we won't act?

2018-03-07 17:23:30 UTC  

Well we are acting lol

2018-03-07 17:23:38 UTC  

How so?

2018-03-07 17:23:50 UTC  

They just don't tell you we are.

2018-03-07 17:23:58 UTC  

The entire point of our being out there

2018-03-07 17:24:08 UTC  

Is training these nontraditional forces

2018-03-07 17:24:15 UTC  

It was initially a coalition against ISIS, before that the taliban,

2018-03-07 17:24:21 UTC  

Before that it was work against Russia

2018-03-07 17:24:30 UTC  

Yeah, but now ISIS is gone.
