The problem with "Not anymore" is that our foreign policy is dictated by the State Department whose employees are hired, not elected. They are lifetime employees. Unless the State Department is corrected nothing will change. The 7th floor of the State department is considered a separate government. Those in the Pentagon are hired, not elected.
Not even that. It's pure sucking up to the last dictator he had on the phone. The cost of paying for our proxy war makes a good rationalization for President Barstool, though.
I would disagree to the extent of noting that the hired professionals in federal departments are by nature and training apolitical and serve to implement policy from the administration. Sometimes, as various presidents will say, that is easier said than done, but I cannot conceive of how an elected state department staff could even exist. So I can't imagine what "correction" you have in mind, unless you have a completely different idea.
Not true. The State Department does both and because of them our foreign policy does not change much. Secretary of State plays a major role but they formulate a lot of our foreign policy. They are the Bureacrats.
That promise cannot be kept. Here is another reason:America promised the Kurds a homeland carved out of Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq. Outside of the fact that America has no power to simply carve out lands from sovereign nations, Turkey is also a NATO member.
Now, the Kurds are fighting for their land, just so you understand, they are fighting for their land. And as somebody wrote in a very, very powerful article today, they didn't help us in the Second World War, they didn't help us with Normandy as an example, they mentioned the names of different battles, but they're there to help us with their land, and that's a different thing.
That's the syphilis talking.
But now, Russia and Turkey can take care of whatever happens next in Syria.
Okay, I've got a few questions: Why the *HELL* is Turkey still a member of NATO??? I mean if the Turks are going to ally themselves with the very country/force that NATO was set up to guard Europe and it's environs against, then why don't they just exit NATO and sign the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States or whatever name it goes by now) treaty? And if the Turks won't leave voluntarily, why isn't NATO at least *considering* tossing them out on their ear for engaging in one of the very behaviors that it was -- at least ostensibly -- set up to prevent?
Speaking of "windmill cancer and Trump," read on!

Backstabbing fucking prick ! What's Trump's payoff for betraying the Kurds ?
Not getting his Turkish properties nationalized?
Why would you leave us? Please don't.
This, ever so much, THIS^^^
Not incidentally, the Kurds DID help the Allies in WW II. See this thread!

Fulfilling the "extra duties as assigned" goal on his yearly performance evaluation from his Real Dad Vlad?
This is pure banana oil.
State Department employees don't "dictate" foreign policy. They implement it.
