In one move the stable genius, in his great and unmatched wisdom, diminished the US's reputation among allies, and empowered 4 hostile powers. Truly unmatched.

Apparently his main complaint was that the Kurds "weren't *there*" - since 3rd Reich Germany was very, very definitely there it shouldn't be a problem in Trump-world 😁
Well, during his greatly parade, he told us that George Washington's troops seized the British airports. I'm sure he would be happy to hear about my Opa and his coworkers meeting the US troops on that day. They really hit it off, it was a blast. Grandpa said it was one big party. Everybody was there. Except the Kurds, of course.
Just FYI, the Syrian curds did fight in the second world war as part of the Assyrian Parashute Company, which fought in Armenia and Greece throughout the war on the side of the Allies.

As a kurd, I've strangely come to expect my people to be slaughtered once every 5 or 4 years. I feel like we don't really matter to anyone and it pains me to see what my brothers and sisters go through. However I feel like I've gone numb since the age of 6. I can't stand it.
So do democrats when they whine about a travel ban but barely gave a peep when BO was giving away happy little presents from happy little drones. And I'm sure you would love to talk about the current American holocaust that democrats love to support.
I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. Trump withdrew US Forces from Syria, but now currently as of August 2023 we currently have around 900 US Forces in Syria. How did that happen?
Sure is. It's like the inmates are running the asylum. I wish I could say comforting words about South Korea. It's like Russia got hypervisor/root/admin privileges to the head of state, and now the USA is just segfaulting all over the place.
I know right? He should totally apologize and immediately send as many of our troops as possible to die in another war that lasts two decades. I mean hey, maybe another 20 years of conflict will settle wars that are thousands of years old.
@@GusOfTheDorks You moron didn't you watch the video, it was the Kurds that was dying not American soldiers. And guess what just because we run from the fight that don't mean our enemies will.
@@GusOfTheDorks 1. Islam hasn't even existed for a millennium and a half; Muhammad was born after 600 AD. It is currently 2,019 AD. 2. What makes you think that we want a full-scale war? We just want to keep helping the Kurds finish the job they already started; they've cut off ISIS's head, and now the body's squirming, soon to grow a new head if we do nothing to stop it. How long has this taken? Remember the maps the episode showed you? In just 4 years, ISIS went from being a wannabe state/potential regional power to barely even existing anymore, and it hardly "20 years of war". 3. Also, this person is just suggesting that Trump apologize for being a callous (heartless) motherfucker, not that he should contribute more troops. If you have to change what someone said before you respond to it, then what they said must have been harder to defeat than you would've liked. Simple logic. This is why "strawmanning" (taking things out of context to make them easier to attack, like dueling a man made of straw, because you're too afraid to duel a real man who may hurt them. Get it?) isn't logical; if I say "I don't like waffles, but that pancakes are just okay", but you come back with "But, they're fluffy and delicious, the way they're so flat and thick just...(other good things) (I'm describing a pancake, not a waffle, get it?), how could you possibly think they were disgusting?" Get it? Get it?
They also helped British and Soviet troops keep Northern Iraq out of Nazi hands, fought in Albania, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus, and helped create and defend the Persian Corridor which was a vital supply line for the Soviet Army's push into Central Europe.
I had a final project due in my “Minority Politics in The Middle East” Class to write about anything I wanted. I fucking love these videos and I immediately thought back to this one. I wrote a 15 page paper inspired from this video and I even cited it in it. I got a fucking 100% on the Final Grade. Thank you so much John, your writers, and researchers you guys are fucking awesome.
"If you're a normal person, you would say knock knock, may I come in". Trump thinks there is basically no difference between US soldiers in Syria and Jehovah's Witnesses.
He hasnt even seen a single word of the book, and it was all written by another guy who never even got to have a consulting meeting with trump. its literally fiction.
He has to feign anger to hide the fact that who he should really be mad at is his boy Obama who let IsIs spread in the first place. Without his massive fuck up we wouldn’t even need to be in Syria
I think after someone gave the murderer a gun to shoot my friend I don't care so much anymore if the police should have done more to capture the murderer. I'll first be fucking pissed and want Trump to go to justice, oh I mean the one who have him a gun and then feigned innocence.
Never been funny, nor was it funny to see the Republiklans (80% or so) loose their spine, morals and say nothing in this 4 years of lies and hundreds of norms and laws broken when they had 2 and 3 years of looking into investigations of emails and finding nothing (no jail time for no one)
I'm German and I was actually one of the very few who was willing to give the guy a chance in 2016 and judge him by his actions as a potentially strong man in a world that somehow cheers on strong women and hates strong men. So I was alright with him being elected, but sadly even his supporters can't explain what the hell he is doing right now. Some people say that he's serving Russia, others say he doesn't even begin to understand ANY of this stuff. Personally I am just confused. He used to be just ineffectual, but now he's downright destructive. If this guy wins in 2020 again I can see people storming the White House. Those american liberals are quite radicalized nowadays.

Well, absurd and extreme things are not exclusive to fiction. For a light-hearted example, there was MadJack, a commando leader who fought with a longbow and a sword while playing bagpipes. Look it up, it's a really fun story.
@@jabcrossman5774 Wait, he fought on d day? either I forgot about it or did not see it in my research but if he did fight in that dreadful battle, that makes his story even more awesome. Seriously, why hasn't he got a movie or series that depicts his action hero-esque adventures?
Egregius Considering their histories, I err on the side of trump just legitimately being that stupid. Remember Boris went to Eton and Oxford on academic scholarships
"One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so-but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous. Douglas Adams, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy
His Professor how to right when he said that Trump was the most astoundingly stupid person he had ever met because he's so stupid that it's actually kind of surprising he got anywhere in life. If he had been born black and poor and acted the same way I don't think he would have survived past teenagehood.
In all seriousness, there are a few sad stories about the dogs and animals that became friends of our troops out there. Some of our troops had every intention of getting them home to US, or adopting them, many of these dogs brought bottles and cans and other things they thought we wanted as gifts to them every morning to become friends. The troops had to leave so fast they never got to say good boy again; and those animals wondered where those humans went, and why they didn't take them too. It wasn't just the Kurds that we left, it wasn't just humans.
@OranjeThe Fox ~ Watching this in February 2023 and thinking about Covid, so the last few sentences John Oliver spoke sent a cold shiver down my back. Foreshadowing with a huge, blinking, screaming, pulsating, red capital **F**.
The more you know, the more you realise that you don't know. I believe this is why Trump believes he is a genius; he doesn't know much of anything, and as a result, has no idea of how much he doesn't know.
True just like "It's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt" he is waaaaaaaaaaaaasssssaaaaaaay past that! Hahaha
And, Kurds actually did help in the world wars. Normandy would have been a special feat tbh, the logistics and them not being a nation with a central government/command that could be communicated with made that outright impossible.
@@enlightendbel Also worth mentioning Turkey was a Central Power in WWI, so they didn't help in the first war, they were literally our enemies, if were going by historical allies, but I guess Donald Trump also think Nazi's are fine people so...
“Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.” -Donald trump Oct 22, 2012 There really is an old tweet for every single occasion! 😂
AYeah! It’s not like he gathered intelligence, organized the raid, picked out the soldiers conducting the raid, gave the go-ahead order, and dealt with the PR of it. Oh, wait. That’s right. He did. Do your research, moron.
What is especially hilarious about that Tweet is that Trump is trying to take all the credit for getting the leader of ISIS. He has been emphatic about it. Absolutely zero self awareness.
-- Nah...He's got the biggest of words -- just like the largest of inauguration crowds and his land slide victories. Too bad bone spurs got the best of him during the Vietnam War.
Just imagine people like him would have been in charge during the cold war. We would still be in it and the GDR would be the German powerhouse compared to what he would have done to West Germany...
Don’t tell him about that one.. I was in Germany when he was elected and people at the train station said: “you Americans have lost your minds!” All I could do was agree.
@@Maxi_94 Im pretty sure we'd be dead. The cold war almost went hot dozens of times for such small things. Things that werent even acts of aggression but instead mistakes such as equipment thinking the moon was a missile. With Trump at the helm, you can certainly bet he would say: "Just let them fight it out" In his mind he would be like: "We got all these missiles but aren't using them, whats the point. Instead of disarmament, Trump would probably use them because he doesnt like to waste. Oh yea and he doesnt give two ships about the planet or the people living it, just himself. As long as he makes it to his presidential bunker he'll be fine.

And it will not stop...or slow down. It will continue...but at a larger and faster scale. So....buckle up? o_o
True. That's BTW what Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt, did after Egypt defeated Israel in Yom Kippur war to get back the Sinai peninsula. He started serious peace negotiations with the Israeli government.
"They didnt help in Normandy" WW2 started in 1939, and the rest of the world, including the Kurds, fought and died trying to stop the Nazi's while the US shrugged and said it wasn't their problem. The US only showed up in 1941, when they were absolutely forced to after Peal Harbour. The Kurds helped _fight the war,_ long before the US got involved.

@@snszbyd I know. ;D I would pay money to see that also. But I'm not sure if Putler at his 170cm (5'7") height could match big soft Trumpet at 190cm (6'3"). And since Trumpets hands are so small, it actually increases the force per square.
Those kind of actions are done by all factions down there, including the Kurds. I think there is a video out there of Kurdish militias torturing a 13 something year old boy, claimed to be ISIS which might be accurate, before they executed. Point is, there are no "good guys" in that area. Kurds only helped retaking land they viewed as their own and oil fields they wanted for profit. All Kurdish actions have been in self interest. The very same reason they started to attack none Kurdish Iraqi troops after ISIS was defeated as a main territory holder. Which isnt that reported because the Kurds have managed to make themselves look like good guys in Western media. Not saying they are worse or identical to ISIS. I am just saying that the picture down there is NOT that black and white and the Kurds could just as well been the uprise in Iraq, as opposed to the Sunni uprise that took the form of ISIS (No one questioned why ISIS, consisting mostly of Sunnis and some ex Baath party folks (Saddams party, therefor some could technically be Shia) only managed to mostly hold Sunni areas in Iraq?).
@Ryo East you need to specify what kind of people exactly are being killed. I don't know what kind soldiers you've learned about, but the standard is not genocidal maniacs.

I'm curious what you liked about Trump before ? He has always been nothing more than a two bit carney barker. Blasting his own horn .At best he is a seriously insecure fraud. His reputation is built upon the very, very powerful shit in the national enquirer rag sold at checkouts in supermarkets ! ! Buy a clue.

Apparently his main gripe was "Kurds not being there"... Germany quite clearly was though. In fact, without them being there Normandy wouldn't even have happened 😉
What Bush Jr did was sane. Iraq's population didn't drop and the only refugee crisis was the Iranians going into Iraq. Meanwhile Obama's attempt to take out Assad had created ISIS, a refugee crisis and a lower population. Europe tried a quick stunt with eliminating the dictator of Libya and again, there are rebels (this time with jet fighters and artillery supplied by Middle Western countries) against the UN backed government, a refugee crisis and a lower population i that country.

@@thereturnofmasterjoekerr3674 You don't "destroy" a radical terrorist group by eliminating the leader.

Unfortunately Trump is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. Until Republicans are held accountable for their support of this man, and stop abusing their power so that a minority can control the majority, then little is likely to change. But yeah, me too :)

Trump is crazy selfish. He only looks out for his own interest. This is like saying "I was hungry and I wanted to fish so I poisoned the lake to kill the fish."

1. Islam hasn't even existed for a millennium and a half; Muhammad was born after 600 AD. It is currently 2,019 AD.
2. What makes you think that we want a full-scale war? We just want to keep helping the Kurds finish the job they already started; they've cut off ISIS's head, and now the body's squirming, soon to grow a new head if we do nothing to stop it. How long has this taken? Remember the maps the episode showed you? In just 4 years, ISIS went from being a wannabe state/potential regional power to barely even existing anymore, and it hardly "20 years of war".
3. Also, this person is just suggesting that Trump apologize for being a callous (heartless) motherfucker, not that he should contribute more troops. If you have to change what someone said before you respond to it, then what they said must have been harder to defeat than you would've liked. Simple logic. This is why "strawmanning" (taking things out of context to make them easier to attack, like dueling a man made of straw, because you're too afraid to duel a real man who may hurt them. Get it?) isn't logical; if I say "I don't like waffles, but that pancakes are just okay", but you come back with "But, they're fluffy and delicious, the way they're so flat and thick just...(other good things) (I'm describing a pancake, not a waffle, get it?), how could you possibly think they were disgusting?"

In all seriousness, there are a few sad stories about the dogs and animals that became friends of our troops out there. Some of our troops had every intention of getting them home to US, or adopting them, many of these dogs brought bottles and cans and other things they thought we wanted as gifts to them every morning to become friends. The troops had to leave so fast they never got to say good boy again; and those animals wondered where those humans went, and why they didn't take them too. It wasn't just the Kurds that we left, it wasn't just humans.
Honestly, Trump could be a better comedian than president, businessman, or father.

Those kind of actions are done by all factions down there, including the Kurds. I think there is a video out there of Kurdish militias torturing a 13 something year old boy, claimed to be ISIS which might be accurate, before they executed. Point is, there are no "good guys" in that area. Kurds only helped retaking land they viewed as their own and oil fields they wanted for profit. All Kurdish actions have been in self interest. The very same reason they started to attack none Kurdish Iraqi troops after ISIS was defeated as a main territory holder. Which isnt that reported because the Kurds have managed to make themselves look like good guys in Western media. Not saying they are worse or identical to ISIS. I am just saying that the picture down there is NOT that black and white and the Kurds could just as well been the uprise in Iraq, as opposed to the Sunni uprise that took the form of ISIS (No one questioned why ISIS, consisting mostly of Sunnis and some ex Baath party folks (Saddams party, therefor some could technically be Shia) only managed to mostly hold Sunni areas in Iraq?).

Meanwhile Obama's attempt to take out Assad had created ISIS, a refugee crisis and a lower population. Europe tried a quick stunt with eliminating the dictator of Libya and again, there are rebels (this time with jet fighters and artillery supplied by Middle Western countries) against the UN backed government, a refugee crisis and a lower population i that country.
@@orlock20 you got to be kidding, iraq population did drop, try fallujah.
I did

@Northern Wealth Anarchy Perimeter Then why is you boss Putin doing it for years now?
I doubt the existence of the article Trump mentioned. Not just because it is him, but him referencing an article would imply he read it and my suspension of disbelief can only take so much
Does'nt matter. There were Kurds in Normandy.. but than again - it doesn't matter.
@O. B. I was juuuuuust on the verge of dragging you for being obtuse about a (very funny) joke.... and then you went and said you didn't want to link to the article, and redeemed yourself. It was a beautiful redemption arc in three short sentences. Well played, sir or madam. Well played.

You don't "destroy" a radical terrorist group by eliminating the leader. What's more, his decision not only allowed a hundred ISIS members to escape, the way the US betrayed our Kurdish former allies will possibly convince some of them to support ISIS _against_ us.

Unfortunately Trump is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. Until Republicans are held accountable for their support of this man, and stop abusing their power so that a minority can control the majority, then little is likely to change. But yeah, me too :)

Maybe we should send Trump over to Syria and let him fight it out.
nah he dont do actual fighting, hes more into losing money by bad decisions
Or, since you're advocating for American troops to stay in Syria indefinitely to prevent the hypothetical rise of another ISIS, maybe you can take your internet tough guy ass to Syria and suit up
You mean president bone spurs?
This is the argument you use when he _sends troops_ to Syria, not when he pulls them out .

“a potential war crime”? killing random civilians IS a war crime
Edit: this is. Not a political statement? This in itself IS a fact? This comment doesn’t say “turkey committed a war crime” or “turkey is the only country to commit war crimes here.” Shut Up. Also to the person who said there’s no such thing as war crime: legally you are incorrect.

The most pi$$ed off I've seen him, was that episode they did about separating children from their parents at the border. He was more upset there than in this piece, and that's saying something.
Rightfully so.

"Kurds didn't help in Normandy"
Can someone please ask Trump why he likes Putin so much if Russians didn't help us during the Civil War?
U need to learn history. Russia was on the North's side from the beginning and even sent its fleet to Washington DC in 1863 to show support.
He helped him in the election..
I hate to say borts right, but Russia has always liked us a *little* too much. 😓
The OG revolution (Cathrine the Great *hated* George III and refused his request for 20,000 troops), civil war, WW 1+2, they have *always* been involved somehow.
Trump is keeping his part of the deal. Trump got the job, but Putin is his boss
@M M But he specifically talked about the Civil War, not the Revolutionary War.
This man is a gift, and thank God he came to HBO right after Jon Stewart retired. Bringing the much needed actually on point outlooks on many much needed subjects.

This is honestly much worse than the call with Zelensky.
I don't know about "worse," but it certainly is comparable. The man has done so many things that, not even needing to wait and see the ramifications to know that they're bad, are abhorrent and damaging to the United States and indeed the world as a whole that I just don't know what's what anymore.
I swear if any Republicans try to bring up Benghazi again, we can just show them this.
THIS is what they should be impeaching him over
But while the Ukraine business was illegal and therefore a useful constitutional breach they can use to impeach him, this diplomatic/strategic catastrophe isnt technically illegal, so no one can do much about it now.

Trump also mentioned that he had a “conflict of interest” with Turkey as he said “because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well."
That explains why he behaves like such a retarded Turkey, now don't it?! Gobble, gobble you Orange tinted sack of pus and vomit.
Trump is crazy selfish. He only looks out for his own interest. This is like saying "I was hungry and I wanted to fish so I poisoned the lake to kill the fish."
