Your analytical capabilities are absurdly childish and generally full of lies.

So let me get this straight. Trump was the cause of the Lebanese Civil War. And the Syrian Civil War? Gotcha. Good to know that the Middle East has always been love beads and roses. Iran and the other local terrorists, I mean Freedom lovers, get along with all the other Middle Eastern people, governments and Royalty. Thank you for clarifying all that.

Translation: "I don't like what you said and the fact you don't hate Arabs and Muslims, so I'm going to troll you"

He posted a statement that was written poorly. He’s on a public forum writing misinformation and not factual evidence. Thus, not a troll post. Far from it. Second, nothing I posted had anything to do with hate. Posting facts doesn’t mean hate. Nothing I said was hate. On the other hand, nearly everything posted by TD is hate. About only thing I hate, besides mis and disinformation, although one in the USA, at least at this time is allowed to post since we still have Freedom of Speech, is the uncivilized people out there raping and killing. Can’t handle the heat so need to post insults?

"He posted a statement that was written poorly."

Where?

"He’s on a public forum writing misinformation and not factual evidence."

He backed up what he said. You're just mad it doesn't conform to your narrative of "Arabs and Muslims are bad".

"Thus, not a troll post."

If you come in to say racist shit and not provide a substantive rebuttal to anything said, it's a troll post.

"Second, nothing I posted had anything to do with hate."

You called people in the Middle East uncivilized, rapists and terrorists and it's obviously because of a) the fact that they're Arab and b) the fact that many of them are Muslim. But, I guess racists always want to pretend they aren't racist when called out on it.

"Posting facts doesn’t mean hate."

You didn't post a single fact.

"On the other hand, nearly everything posted by TD is hate."

You're just mad he criticizes the US and Israel instead of blindly repeating the Western narrative.

"About only thing I hate...is the uncivilized people out there raping and killing."

More racist shit.

"Can’t handle the heat so need to post insults?"

That's cute, you think you brought anything.

So, in summary, you've got nothing and you know it.

Or he used the neocons.

This article has no nuance.

Eventually the population of the world that no longer resides under the boot of Pax Americana will resolve this conflagration.

The American political class is by far the most heavily “occupied” territory by the perpetual victim tribe and their lifelong “get out of jail free” card

Thanks for sorting through this and sharing the information. If Trump is elected, I hope he corrects this. If Kamala is elected, no change is foreseeable.

He won't correct it

Operative phrase in this article is “at the behest of his warmongering Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo…”

Before Pompeo was his Secretary of State, Trump was talking about "bombing the shit out of ISIS" and taking out the families of terrorists.

Far be it from me to defend everything Trump’s ever said, but it all must be taken with a grain of salt. He was overwhelmed when he had to hire 60,000 people to his administration, and a lot of rotten apples—the very swamp he wanted to drain—stuck around. Let’s see how he does with Tulsi Gabbard as his Secretary of State…

I find it funny that there's always a laundry list of excuses for why Trump didn't do what he promised that a) wouldn't be accepted if a Democratic president made them and b) ignores the fact that he's a politician and may have just been lying.

And Trump didn't want to drain the swamp: In addition to Pompeo, he put people like Rex Tillerson, James Mattis, John Bolton, Nikki Hayley, Mike Pence, Betsy DeVos and others in his administration.

Also, Tulsi is pro-Israel and isn't as anti-war as you think.

Regardless of who gets elected, there's a bipartisan consensus on foreign policy that is consistently maintained.
