Didn't think I'd ever agree with something Trump said, but he's right, we ****ed up the Middle East.

I think a few said that before him.

It's not historically been a popular opinion on here though. Although, the people it's been unpopular with are also the same people who have been sort of jumping on the "trump defense" bandwagon of late. dilemma...

You know, I think you're right! That's some twilight zone shiz right there!

Are you confused though... or is it just clarification that Trump says what people want to hear in the moment and contradicts himself constantly... and isn't ashamed or afraid of being a liar in the least.

Pretty much plays to his character imo

Yeah he pretty much got me on that one. Not that I want to listen to his rhetorical speeches much.

I like this part of Trump even though hes doing only for headlines. He's saying things that the political establishment wont dare to say even though they're almost certainly true.

I don't think Trump's position is that contradictory tbh seeing as what he's criticising with the Iraq war is forcing through regime change whereas attacking ISIS now in Iraq is actually what their government is asking for. Trump's ISIS strategy would be like Putin's (and both men have talked about their respect for each other) where he would bomb widely and indiscriminately and not be too concerned about hitting other opposition forces. Unlike 99% of American politicians I doubt that Trump is too worried about Assad being removed from power.

His statement doesn't even make sense. An entire religion hates the citizens of a country? Not true. He's grouping radical Islamic terrorists with all other peaceful Islamists who don't hate anyone.

[iRyan]

He is right that the Iraq War was a mistake though.

I think the west created a problem when it allowed immigrants (legal ones) to practice that despicable stone age religion - the deal should always have been. You come here and the rule is. No religion, no mosques and compulsory science lessons and religion debunking lessons.

We missed a big trick there

Think we would have to get rid of the "traditional" religion that still infests the coutry first, surely? You can't be like "You cannot continue to follow that nonsense! Oh, these people? Yeah they were already here so they can still follow their own nonsense..."

Who is your question directed to?

No because it's not about the followers and more to do with the people running the Religion.

Nobody, just a non specific comment based on the thread so far.
