What is the point of this? We will NEVER be able to remove Assad by force because Assad has Russia to protect him. It's time to accept that and move, and continue concentrating on ISIS.

The way Obama was handling ISIS was perfect. Train the Iraqis to handle this on their own, and we can assist with bombing. Maximum effect with no American lives lost.

Now he is fucking with Korea. NOTHING is going to change with Korea. Korea is not going to change because America threatened them yet again. China is not going to change the way they handle things. The only third option is war, and that end with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands dead in South Korea. That is not acceptable which is why we have had the same policy for the past fifty years.

Then Trump is turning his attention to Iran. Fuck it. Let's kill the agreement we have with them. The only thing that will happen is Iran will development nuclear weapons, which is the direct opposite of what we want. How is that a win.

This is what is happening on the foreign affairs / military situatio with Trump. The domestic side is just as bleak. I honestly believe that we do not feel the full effect of a new president for six months to a year. I can't wait to see where we stand a year from now.
Actually, we could take Asad out and there is nothing at all Russia would do other than talk tough, it would be a reversed Crimea. Accept we had the ability to put sanctions on Russia, but Russia could only talk shit if we took out Asad.

The reason we dont, is because it's bad policy to take out a leader no matter how bad he is. It's the same reason we never took out Castro.
