Using this logic, the US should STILL be in Viet Nam.

War-mongers like this guy is gonna find any excuse to war-mong

[TheRealKevinLau]

Did this guy use history to validate his point and then later dismiss Krystal's point because it was history?

[RichardMedhurst]

I’m Syrian, just posted my take on this have a look! Have lots to say

[AydinKenjoy]

That’s true. Trump makes a lot of mistakes. But they don’t know how much stronger Turks. They understand what they do here. We are Türk and we leave here from 1050... We are not Banana Republic.

We have to get this man out of office ASAP.

That being said, our SUREST CHANCE for doing so, is electing America's Dad, Bernie Sanders.

The only enemies that we have are the ones that we have created. -ex CIA director

Kim Iverson's video gives some good background information on the conflict and why we should get out of Syria.

3:10 According to this gentleman, the Obama administration was "aligning with Iran". First time I'd heard a fox news talking point on this normally intelligent program.
The hosts of the show need to push back anytime a guest expresses idiocy like this.

[MK-jekz]

He is the kind of person why Middle East is such mess. He just wants to play power games regardless if it's wrong or right and hell with consequences. Turkey is US ally only because of Cold war and PKK is on terror list because Turkey is an ally, important EU trade partner and in Nato. All those stem from times when Turkey was much more secular and not lead by power hungry depot. There is no reason why current Turkey should be treated the same as before. Especially in the expense of Kurdish people. Turkey's plan is ethnic cleansing and this guy says it's ok, because he want to play power games.

As a European, it is so refreshing to see a conversation like this. One that looks a bit further than your typical headlines & click bait MSM. A very balanced and informative debate! Keep doing what you guys are doing. And rising will rise to the top in no time.

Whoever is pro war-intervention at the cost of our own country’s citizens and their well being for no apparent reason should be run out of office. There is no reason why we are in Syria, unless it’s to make ISIS stronger like we’ve already done by being in Syria.

[augustbrante]

This whole region is none of our business any longer. Bin Ladden is dead we our energy dependent now. If they do anything to the US that changes everything. Speaking of region!

[rasitcavcav]

Mr.Doran knows where the American interests are, it is unbelievable how incompetent can US administration be in foreign politics.

[RichInk]

Schadenfreude is what we are causing with our friends. The PKK is an army for a people without a country. They need one.

[jgsosafbner]

Love the way Krystal pushes back..and shes very professional but you can see it in her face when shes bothered lol..

[scotthalvorson]

We must get out of all these god damn wars

[spirochristlovers]

You should ask this operative why he is so cozy with the Turks who have been duplicitous for decades. Is it the desire to keep Incirlik Air Base for the US Air Force or the prospect of massive arms sales to Turkey.

Please get Robert Reich on. That's a guy I trust

[jkay]

Tulsi Gabbard is right. Better to not get involved.
This guy twisted himself into a pretzel trying to justify his position.

"The 2nd point was better than the 1st one" - Anyone caught that slight of hand?
