Five Italian Special Forces soldiers were badly wounded by an IED in Iraq. They were involved with the ongoing mission to train Iraqi forces in the struggle against ISIS.

These men were working out of a US base. US forces are involved in the same mission. Sonce 20001 nearly 7,000 US troops have lost their lives in the region. Almost the number of co tractors have also lost their lives. Nothing has been gained in this seemingly endless conflict.  This begs the question, why is the US still involved in this quagmire?

Why are western forces still training Iraqis? The Iraqis are worse than the ARVN. At least some Vietnamese troops had been westernized by the French and saw the US as their allies.

It is well past the time to pull western forces out of the region. Let the locals deal with their own problems. If anyone is worried about the Chinese taking over, just imagine what they will do to the insurgents. The Chinese are not constrained by the same humanitarian concerns that hold back western forces. It might mean that we will have to buy oil from China. So what? We already subsidize their economy with our terrible trade policies.

The US withdrawal from Syria has been opposed by President Trump's allies and enemies alike. That's a good sign. It means that it is probably the best policy that the President could pursue at this point. The politicians who want the US to remain in Syria, are the same people who refer to Israel as our closest ally. They're traitors who sell out this nation on a daily basis for Israli (US taxpayers), and Chinese (US consumers) money.

Syria is within the Russian sphere of influence. Turkey, was a Cold War ally of convenience. Turkey, and Israel are terrible allies. We should pull all of our troops out of the region, and redeploy them to our own borders. Who cares if the whole place goes up in smoke. It doesn't concern us. Let the eastern barbarians do what they do best, and have been doing for over a thousand years. Let them slaughter one another.

US pulling out of northern Syria; full withdrawal possible By ROBERT BURNS

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States appears to be heading toward a full military withdrawal from Syria amid growing chaos , cries of betrayal and signs that Turkey’s invasion could fuel a broader war. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Sunday that President Donald Trump had directed U.S. troops in northern Syria to begin pulling out “as safely and quickly as possible.” He did not say Trump ordered troops to leave Syria, but that seemed like the next step in a combat zone growing more unstable by the hour. Esper, interviewed on two TV news shows, said the administration was considering its options. “We have American forces likely caught between two opposing advancing armies and it’s a very untenable situation,” Esper said. This seemed likely to herald the end of a five-year effort to partner with Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters to ensure a lasting defeat of the Islamic State group. Hundreds of IS supporters escaped a holding camp amid clashes between invading Turkish-led forces and Kurdish fighters, and analysts said an IS resurgence seemed more likely, just months after Trump declared the extremists defeated. The U.S. has had about 1,000 troops in northeastern Syria allied with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to combat IS. The Pentagon previously had pulled about 30 of these troops from the Turkish attack zone along the border. With an escalation of violence, a widening of the Turkish incursion and the prospect of a deepening conflict, all U.S. forces along the border will now follow that move. It was unclear where they would go. The Pentagon chief did not say U.S. troops are leaving Syria entirely. The only other U.S. presence in Syria is at Tanf garrison, near Syria’s eastern border with Jordan. The U.S. and coalition troops there are not involved in the Kurd mission, and so it seems highly unlikely the 1,000 being moved from the north would go to Tanf. Critics say the U.S. has betrayed the Kurds by pulling back in the face of Turkey’s invasion, but Esper said the administration was left with little choice once President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Trump a week ago that he was going ahead with a military offensive. Esper said the Kurds have been good partners, “but at the same time, we didn’t sign up to fight the Turks on their behalf.” The Kurds then turned to the Syrian government and Russia for military assistance, further complicating the battlefield. The prospect of enhancing the Syrian government’s position on the battlefield and inviting Russia to get more directly involved is seen by Trump’s critics as a major mistake. But he tweeted that it shouldn’t matter. “Others may want to come in and fight for one side or the other,” he wrote. “Let them!” New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Trump is weakening America. ’To be clear, this administration’s chaotic and haphazard approach to policy by tweet is endangering the lives of U.S. troops and civilians,” Menendez said in a statement. “The only beneficiaries of this action are ISIS, Iran and Russia.” The fast-moving developments were a further unraveling of U.S. counterterrorism efforts in Syria, and they highlighted an extraordinary breakdown in relations between the United States and Turkey, NATO allies for decades. Turkish troops have often fought alongside American troops, including in the Korean War and in Afghanistan. Asked whether he thought Turkey would deliberately attack American troops in Syria, Esper said, “I don’t know whether they would or wouldn’t.” He cited an incident on Friday in which a small number of U.S. troops fell under artillery fire at an observation post in the north. Esper called that an example of “indiscriminate fire” coming close to Americans, adding it was unclear whether that was an accident. Esper disputed the notion that the U.S. could have stopped Turkey from invading in the first place. He said Erdogan had made clear he was going to launch his incursion “regardless of what we did.” Strongly critical of the Turks, Esper said “the arc of their behavior over the past several years has been terrible.” He added: “I mean, they are spinning out of the Western orbit, if you will. We see them purchasing Russian arms, cuddling up to President Putin. We see them doing all these things that, frankly, concern us.” The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said the U.S. and its NATO partners should consider expelling Turkey from the alliance. “How do you have a NATO ally who’s in cahoots with the Russians, when the Russians are the adversaries of NATO?” In explaining Trump’s decision to withdraw from northern Syria, Esper cited two weekend developments. “In the last 24 hours, we learned that they (the Turks) likely intend to expand their attack further south than originally planned — and to the west,” he said. The U.S. also has come to believe that the Kurds are attempting to “cut a deal” with the Syrian army and Russia to counter the invading Turks, he said. As a result, Trump “directed that we begin a deliberate withdrawal of forces from northern Syria,” Esper said. Trump, in a tweet Sunday, said: “Very smart not to be involved in the intense fighting along the Turkish Border, for a change. Those that mistakenly got us into the Middle East Wars are still pushing to fight. They have no idea what a bad decision they have made. Why are they not asking for a Declaration of War?” Esper said he would not discuss a timeline for the U.S. pullback, but said it would be done “as safely and quickly as possible.” The Pentagon had said before the operation began that the U.S. military would not support it, and the U.S. pulled about 30 special operations troops out of observation posts along the invasion route on the Syrian border to keep them out of harm’s way. The Turkish offensive initially covered an area along the border about 125 kilometers (77 miles) wide and about 30 kilometers (19 miles) deep. Esper said it has since grown wider and deeper. Esper said he was aware of reports of hundreds of IS prisoners escaping as a result of the Turkish invasion and of atrocities being committed against Syrian Kurds by members of a Turkish-supported Syrian Arab militia. “It gets worse by the hour,” Esper said. “These are all the exact things” that U.S. officials warned Erdogan would likely happen by ignoring U.S. urgings not to invade northern Syria. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held out the possibility of quick action to impose economic sanctions on Turkey, a move that Trump has repeatedly threatened if the Turks were to push too far into Syria. “If we go to maximum pressure, which we have the right to do — at a moment’s notice the president calls me up and tells me — we will do this,” Mnuchin said. “We could shut down all U.S. dollar transactions with the entire government of Turkey. ... That is something we may do, absolutely.” Esper was interviewed on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Mnuchin appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and Engel was on NBC’s Meet the Press.

Several mayors, ike Minneapolis' Jacob Frey, have declared their cities to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. These men are traitors. They have sided with an invading force. They should be dealt with in the same manner that the left's golden boy, Abraham Lincoln, treated our ancestors when they tried to go their own way--as pirates. And what do you do with pirates? You hang them.

The President should declare these men to be in rebellion against the Federal Government. Seize them, and their property. Send in loyal military governors. Purge the local governments. And begin the mass deportations of the illegal populations.

President Trump seems to be serious about pulling out forces out of Syria. Not surprisingly, he has met with resistance from both Democrats, and Republicans. They consider thos to be a betrayal of the Kurds, and a major setback in the endless War on Terror. This is proof that the US Congress does not represent the American people.

The President is acting in the interests of the US. Syria is within the Russian sphere of influence. That nation's internal struggle does not concern Americans. And the US has nothing to gain from further involvement in yet another conflict.

The US has spent decades exerting its hegemonic influence over the rest of the world. The nation has bled men and money, and it has gained nothing in return. It is time to focus on our own problems. The US should pull out of Central Asia, the Middle East, and even Europe. Military bases should be moved to places like Texas. Indeed, US troops would be far more useful defending the southern border than the Fulda Gap.

Jeffery Epstein's suicide is a reminder that the elite don't care what you think. Everyone knew that the Oligarchs were going to kill Epstein. But this a virtual slap in the face. We are supposed to believe that an important prisoner, on suicide watch, somehow managed to gather the necessary materials to hang himself. We are also being asked to believe that the guards left him alone, and that the surveillance cameras were down just long enough for Epstein to do himself in.

This is a joke. The Oligarchs know that no one believes that Epstein's death was a suicide. Commentators on almost every alternative media site referred to him as a walking dead man. They all knew that it was only a matter of time before the elite got to Epstein. But the manner in which they killed him sent a message. They know what we think, and they don't care. You can also be sure that the elite are laughing at us.

The globalists have been trying to disarm us for generations. They have been doing so in an incremental manner. The National Firearms Act of 1934 implemented shortly after the election of F. D. Roosevelt (no surprises there) was the first major step in that direction. In 1994 the Clinton administration pushed through a ban on assault weapons. Recently, bump stocks have found themselves in the sights of the oligarchs. Currently, the focus changed from laws aimed at guns themselves, to ones that target gun owners. Red flag laws target individuals considered "potentially dangerous" and make it legal for bureaucrats to confiscate their weapons.

It looks like red flag laws are simply an attempt by the elite to circumvent the gun control. The Second Amendment is clear, and difficult to bypass. So, in the name of public safety, they will avoid it entirely. The oligarchs won't have to ban weapons, just dangerous people. After all, anyone can be labeled dangerous. All it takes to end up on this list is for one family member, like an angry wife, or envious co-worker to report one to the authorities. Even minors will be subject to these laws. These laws should be considered a threat to what is left of our freedoms, and the Republic.

The American Empire is in decline. As a southerner, the idea that the Federal boot might finally be lifted from my neck brings me some joy. But as a relatively White, patriotic, male (I prefer the label off-White nationalist) I am concerned. This is because the political vacuum that will be created by the North's loss of power will be filled by foreigners--people who want to see all White men dead, or enslaved. Sure, it might be true that most foreigners are decent people, and aren't focused on the destruction of Western Man. Their leaders, however, are a different story. And those men decide on the course of action that the barbarian waves will take. Therefore, if you're White, no matter your politics, you are the enemy. Therefore, all of you should be concerned.

The winning of the American West took place less than two hundred years ago. Yet, everywhere one looks real Americans are in retreat. One only has to look at all of the blue on electoral maps to know that those blue regions are lost to civilized men. Two of the main reasons for this loss of territory are money, and demography. The 1965 Immigration Act, abortion, and globalization have all played their part in this decline. Fewer real Americans being born, the loss of job opportunities, and the influx of a Third World workforce have resulted in mass poverty. The middle class is disappearing in places like the 'Rust Belt'. College degrees no longer guarantee a job. And Americans now have to compete with impoverished foreigners for even the lowest paying jobs. To make matters worse, real Americans are being pushed out of the electorate as their vote is diluted by waves of foreigners.

So, how do we fix this? There are a few short, and long-term actions that we can take. First, "Be fruitful and multiply." Find a good woman, and have kids while you're both still young. Second, unless you're getting a free ride, don't waste your time going to college. Go to a trade school. You'll come out with less debt, and better job prospects than any liberal arts college graduate. Third, insist that your politicians put America first. These guys ignore us most of the time, but they really seem to get focused on our concerns when they see their poll numbers slipping. Keep the metaphorical fire at their feet. Get organized, force them to listen to you, and make them vote like nationalists instead of globalists. Fourth, prepare yourself, and your family for hard times. Stay out of major cities, grow your own food, dig wells, get in shape, and learn how to defend yourself. Hopefully, in a hundred years or so, we will be able to take back our lands.

Diplomatic historians place the origins of American imperialism, or hegemony, in the 1890s. They view the Spanish American-War (1890), and President McKinley's forays into Latin America as early examples of the US exerting its influence on a global scale. The 1890 date, however, is at least twenty-five years off. This is because many historians ignore the regional, and internal struggles that imposed the North's will on the rest of the nation. Indeed the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the North's push to dominate internal trade, and the War Between the States (1861-1865) are far better examples of Yankee imperialism.
