I think it's clear Trump doesn't understand Syria at all. I mean I think it was pretty assumed but his little tangent here solidifies it pretty well.
that moderator is losing her mind with the stupidity.
oh my
ngl as a guy from a military family it pisses me off the civilian woman is pretending to know about modern warfare tactics
Why is Martha Raddatz sparing personally with Trump?
[QUOTE=Lollipoopdeck;51180123]he has no idea what aleppo even is does he.[/QUOTE]
Hey, at least Johnson admitted it.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;51180127]Trump has no idea how military offensives work, does he?[/QUOTE]
no, and its amazing to see moderators put him on the spot like this
Haha holy shit this moderator is angry
"Quietly knock out the leadership?"
He [I]really[/I] doesn't understand how extremist organizations function.
[QUOTE=redBadger;51180133]He's got a point, when we took out Osama it was secret.[/QUOTE]
ISIS or Aleppo isn't exactly one person.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;51180141]Why is Martha Raddatz sparing personally with Trump?[/QUOTE]
Because he has no idea what he's talking about
[QUOTE=arzeio;51180114]What's the point on disagreeing with his running mate? Its going to screw him over.[/QUOTE]
This is Trump; we can't exactly apply logic to him.
Trumps a businessman, pence is a politician, it's good that they can take a look at it from 2 different viewpoints.
[QUOTE=redBadger;51180133]He's got a point, when we took out Osama it was secret.[/QUOTE]
That was a special operations raid.
You can't do that with Mosul, it's a huge city. You need a major military offensive to take that city, which you can't keep as a secret.
I won't pretend to know anything about military tactics, but is it really "psychological warfare" to give ISIS weeks of advanced knowledge that an attack is being planned? I guess you could argue that it spooks them, but is the objective to spook them or to destroy them? I don't think the moderator is really in a position to be debating the candidate on that topic.
Basically Trump is condoning the massive killings of Assad.
Hillary doesn't want to use ground forces
Thank god
isnt the obama admin also overusing spec op forces to the point where they are stretched out too thin?
See this is where Hillary is strong, Donald shut the fuck up.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;51180125]Putin's regime isn't collapsing any time soon. His support is at an all time high I think because of the narrative of us vs. the west.[/QUOTE]
well surely letting Clinton fuel it more is the worst thing possible then?
[QUOTE=redBadger;51180133]He's got a point, when we took out Osama it was secret.[/QUOTE]
He was a VIP, letting people know in advance would let him get away. Something like attacking Mousol would be something you couldn't keep a secret.
Holy shit she's actually saying it, war in Syria off the table.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;51180141]Why is Martha Raddatz sparing personally with Trump?[/QUOTE]
Because he's giving non-answers.
[QUOTE=redBadger;51180133]He's got a point, when we took out Osama it was secret.[/QUOTE]
Yeah because they're broadcasting the movements of the Navy SEALS on the news
The moderator is not supposed to get involved unless personally brought up, that's what Hillary should have done. they are a moderator, not a debater. I think he's stupid too but it's just how it should be done
[QUOTE=Saxon;51180144]Haha holy shit this moderator is angry[/QUOTE]
MAD MARTHA: FURY DEBATE
Kind of interesting that Clinton says "by the time I'm president". Not really faulting her, there's nothing wrong with it, but psychologically it's interesting to imply that it's a given (which it is, really lol).
[QUOTE=Ruski v2.0;51180162]well surely letting Clinton fuel it more is the worst thing possible then?[/QUOTE]
It's not as simple as you think.
If we just appease russia and do empty threats, they will continue to be aggressive. If we show force and strength, they will be contained.

[QUOTE=redBadger;51180133]He's got a point, when we took out Osama it was secret.[/QUOTE]
Osama was one person - one building, if we want to be generous.
Mosul is a city of two million people. Can you imagine taking out a city the size of Orlando completely in secret?
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;51180148]Because he has no idea what he's talking about[/QUOTE]
That's fine but is the moderator supposed to start debating the contenders?
