    I am not suggesting anything. I was merely reporting the news. If I was a god, I would give the Kurds a homeland. But I am not a god. The Kurds are likely to have their lands seized by the Turks.

    It is an error to put both of those schools of foreign policy in the same sentence.

    Realists fought and won the Cold War. They made mistakes, most notably Vietnam. But they won the Cold War.

    No shiit you're not suggesting anything. After your suggestions to leave in 2011 and then suggestion we shrug our shoulders in some fck em, let em fight it out nopd policy, we're not allowing you to make the first f'n suggestion any longer Pete. You can f'n count on that.

    When the two share a common denominator, they're to be defined and dismissed together. Co-termed.

    Did they make a mistake in Korea too.

    Advancing on the Yalu River was a mistake. A dumb one.

    So you picked a fight with the Chinese and nearly got us annihilated. Not to mention almost torching off a nuclear war. For, most amateurs believe the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest we ever came to using nuclear weapons after WWII. Both you and I know it was the Korean conflict that nearly brought a nuclear exchange.

    Excuse me? The President elect is not a neocon. He has expressed a lot of realist concepts.

    No. You can't set up a no-fly zone in Syria. That is insane.

    Had the UN forces not advanced towards China the war would have been won early.
