    20 minutes is all the time in the world. I don't know this is what happened of course, just looks fishy and smart, like something I'd expect competent intel agencies to do.

    I don't know anybody people in the US that wakes up and thinks, "What does that small and insignificant country, Germany, think?" I don't think anyone really gives a rat's ass.

    Actually, in the words of one of my old co workers, who worked in one of Saddam's Nuclear facilities before sneaking his family out when desert storm started:

    "My people are insane. We need people like Saddam to keep us in line."

    Not sure how much I agree but everything I've heard about the middle East from the mid 70s and back (prior to all the religious extremism uprising) sounds pretty amazing and a lot of fun.

    Maybe they need control, maybe constant interventions by foreign powers has allowed extremism to take over, I don't know.

    There has been so many pushes and pulls, places destroyed and people driven from their homes that I can't tell if getting everyone out and leaving them to their own devices will help more then hurt anymore.

    It's a complex quagmire that won't ever be solved by little ol' me up in my Canadian tower of safety security. I've never had to dodge sniper fire just to get to school. How can we even begin to understand that kind of life.

    Nope, butt hurt traitors. Somehow you don’t think the deep state taking over the reigns of power is a problem.

    Good chance the letter was a veiled message between the lines: Go ahead parliament and make that a binding vote.

    YES!

    Over dunes, do it soon, as the caissons go rolling back home.

    You are actively supporting the deep state's taking over the reigns of power.

    You actively cheer on a coup attempt and propagate fake news.

    Maybe Putin had a word with Trump and Donny is moving out voluntarily before he gets booted out.

    Washington’s murder of Qasem Soleimani, a great Iranian leader, indeed, one of the rare leaders in world history, has dimmed Trump’s leadership and placed the limelight on Putin. The stage is set for Putin and Russia to assume the leadership of the world.

    Washington’s murder of Soleimani is a criminal act that could start World War 3 just as the Serbian murder of the Austrian Archduke set World War 1 in motion. Only Putin and Russia with China’s help can stop this war that Washington has set in motion.

    Unless Putin submits to American and Israeli will, he has no choice but to block any Washington/Israeli attack on Iran.

    The US military would like to leave, knowing their position is untenable and the now have become real targets for attacks that will end up sending them back home in coffins. But neither the political people nor probably Trump want to give up without a fight.

    Germany is 2nd strongest western nation.

    That said, it looks like your administration sinks into chaos.

    Fascinating how you're trying to hijack each thread and turn it into a discussion about Germany's importance.

    Published A "FALSE Story"?:roflol:

    I KNEW it was FAKE.

    That was EXACTLY What I Said (Earlier).

    And how about people who "jumped the gun" by spreading this BS Story?:bored:

    In fact, Why would anybody even SPREAD This (Obviously) FAKE Story (on social media) without Independent Pentagon Corroboration?

    ^(That includes everyone from Reuters all the way down to the Last Twitter Post).

    Puzzling.:smh:

    Oh well, As USUAL:

    PF's "Andrew Jackson" is Always a Step Ahead and an Evolutionary Leap Beyond.:salute:

    The Pro-Trump FAKE News Machine strikes again.

    Oh yeah...And, as I pointed out previously...

    Everyone Saw THIS Coming:

    Top general says letter suggesting US would withdraw troops from Iraq was a 'mistake'

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/06/politics/us-troops-iraq/index.html

    ***The Story in the OP was (Obviously) FAKE News...

    I am (honestly) surprised that anybody actually took this (uncorroborated) story at face value.

    Not necessarily "fake news". It could well have been planted/leaked for strategic means.
