3,500 More U.S. Troops Headed To Middle East As Part Of Immediate Response | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

[davids.]

I see pulling out of the Middle East and bringing troops home is going well.

[apriljoseph]

More of our children at risk for what, I thought we was supposed to bring them home

[anwandamanfred]

I thought Trump was trying to bring back the troops from the middle east.

[diongovender]

Not 1 sent to Australia to help with the fire. Just unbelievable.

[zeroling]

Oh America you just love sending your loved ones out to die...smh

[salimapeacejoy]

And this fool has the nerve to deport service people who have served this country and risked their lives, something him and his children would never do.

[finnjacobsen]

Good news for Trump's buddies in the weapons industry.

[siaripop]

There are only two ways to motivate people, one is to inflict fear, the other is to create desire. The nuclear deal with Iran wasn't perfect, no agreement is perfect, but it would have been a place where future agreements were possible. That trust has been broken and probably so badly that it will never get repaired for generations.

[xfoxtrotwiskeykilo]

Be a whole lot cheaper for the whole world to take out trump

[whizbang]

Prayers for all the soldiers in harm's way.

[DaBuGzLiFe]

This war is pointless for everyone except those who gain profit from this. Oil baby Oil.

[meljor]

Yikes, God speed. Sad days are ahead for us. Thank God I can't be drafted to this pointless war that's coming

[PandaPowerable]

So much for bringing the troops home! More like send more to their deaths.

[rgwak]

So this is t’rump’s answer to pulling out of the Iran deal that the UN unanimously agreed to? 🤔
Yeah, this should go well. 👍

[MohsinKhan-nnxu]

*how about we save our brothers and sisters instead send politicians there since they started this like any other war*

[A-md]

Only the beginning....does anyone know wtf they're doing, we know Trump is clueless, so who's in charge of this train wreck ?

[mrbillsrecords]

World's most famous draft dodger starts war.

[Gscalenut]

"Our troops are coming home. Oh, hold on a minute, I just started WW3, send them to Baghdad, I hear that there is some trouble brewing there"

[earlfranklin]

I thought Jarred fixed everything. trump said peace in the Middle East was going to be easy. What could possibly go wrong? Wait, you don't think he lied do you?

[speedy]

"response group" ? ..really ? you are invading...
