Sanctions are a joke. Trump signed off on this massacre. He approved Russian involvement. He absolutely knew the outcome.
Unless republicans grow a pair and are veto proof there is no reset.
His letter is public domain. No denying the man-child wrote it.
The ISIS fighters he knew would be released will hit the US hard.
Turkey is no Allie...does he know we store nukes there...doubtful.

WARNING: Now Americans are advised not to travel to Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia. We are tired of winning.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT LETTING THESE LOSERS CONTINUE ROBBING OUR TAXES..BILLIONS SPENT IN SYRIA..ON WHAT..THE WAR MACHINE IS THEFT..WAKE UP MORONS

That’s like closing the gate when the turkeys have left the building. I think they’re trying to distance them selves from the president now the case of impeachment is growing stronger.

I mean criticising trump's policy was always popular and lindsey got a chance that he didnt miss. I remember as a Turk, back then he was questioning obama's policy about arming YPG because their affiliation with pkk. I think what is common through the politics around the world is that conservatives always want to be liked in the media and wanna get popularity through majority even though majority of the people thought what the media serves them to be thought and most of the cases even though they get compliments because of their standsup to own political view, they would never be in the position that they could fix somethings by themselves.

So Senators _have_ the ability of feeling ”horror and shame”?!?!!
Then why don’t you express the same horror and shame for what you’ve done to the ecological systems and the climate, Senators, and take immediate action to stop that too.
NOW!

What you are promising Trump already has. You are quoting him almost word for word. I never trusted you Lindsey or McCain!

LINDSEY GRAHAM IS A TRUE AMERICAN AND GOP

[kagan]

"Turkish backed forces are freeing ISIS" I can't believe how these guys get up there and lie to their teeth knowing full well that YPG/PKK let those ISIS guys free even before Turks started their operation.

[billyakin]

I've seen video clips where Turkish forces are flying both the Turkish flag and the Russian flag on the same vehicles. So, we know who Thump is benefiting by his actions.

[JoeFirst]

Countries won't just seatback and let this abuse of sanctions, overplaying your hand leads to a loss of power.

[shanlindsey]

You appreciate what the President did? SMH!! Lindsey Graham, have the courage to do whats right even if you have to stand alone. This country needs lawmakers with integrity and some

[dwills]

Lindsey trying to clean up trump's mess again.

Too little too late! That's too bad!

[cynthiaray]

Can you reset the peoples lives that were slaughtered! This is disgusting and obscene! We cannot have someone in charge who has no care for the consequences of their actions and human lives! I am beyond angry and disgusted by this! The Orange freak needs to resign we need more than impeachment we need to over throw! I have never been so ashamed to be an American! I don't even feel like I am living in America anymore!

[susanneh]
