Mitt Romney: Trump Is Weak

Read more here:

"Sen. Mitt Romney delivered perhaps the most thorough Republican rebuke of President Trump’s Syria withdrawal Thursday, calling Trump’s abandonment of the Kurds there “a bloodstain on the annals of American history.”

But while that line has gotten a lot of play, there’s something else Romney said that shouldn’t escape notice. He suggested Trump got bullied into the withdrawal by Turkey — and that he backed down.

“It’s been … suggested that Turkey may have called America’s bluff, telling the president they are coming no matter what we did,” said Romney, of Utah. “If that’s so, we should know it. For it would tell us a great deal about how we should deal with Turkey, now and in the future.”

I believe that Trump fell for a bluff. He is not the brightest bulb. He also wanted to please Erdogan.

I can't believe that I'm actually agreeing with my mormon senator.

Note how many times Trump says that the Kurds are very happy, which is totally absurd from ANY perspective.

I agree that Romney's critique of Trump is much better than McConnell's.

"Turkey is just a small little country". The republicans didn't think much of Bin Laden either. "We are not worried about some guy living in a tent in the desert". They shouldn't underestimate people like they do.

Ramesh gave some good feedback to the discussion. He gave some background I didn't know about Turkey/Erdogan. Good job guys!

Putin told Trump to get out. Trump said yes boss.

Yeah they should have warned the Kurds allies to minimize loss of life.

My biggest fear with Drumpf was his complete ignorance of foreign policy.
