How come Trump said he defeated ISIS?

[backseatjuan]

I'm bewildered. I just drink 5 beers after a day of hard work, layed my ass onto bed, and turned on Russia 24, and it showed Trump saying I defeated ISIS and something about 7 billion dollars. Plz comment on this sh1t.

Honestly I thought Russia fvcked ISIS in the ass for a lot less, and U.S.A. was just supporting ISIS for 7 billion dollars.

But I might be drunk, I mean wrong.

Obama supported the Kurds, which is exactly who we are still supporting, That was in the news this week. Turkey is p!ssed.

"Defeating ISIS" just means blowing up the neighborhoods where they are hiding...along with all the civilians, women, and children they are using as human shields. Russians don't care as much about the civilian toll. The state owns the media in Russia, so it's not like reports of civilian deaths are ever going to make it to Russian TV. But in the US, when the military blows up little kids, you get video of it on the evening news, so they are much more reluctant to do so - or at least work harder to hide it. The 1st Amendment and freedom of the press have kept the power of the state in check for a long time in my country. That hold seems tenuous at the moment.

Unbelieavable! From 2 years of Russian attacks against ISIS not a single video from ISIS side showing Russian aircraft killing civilians, except a few fake one's, where same victim girl actor is killed over and over again - it's now as simple as adding fake to google search and they explain to you why. Basically, America both supported ISIS (not Kurds) and showed their propaganda for 2 years over CNN and FOX, poor Bible_belt is brain washed.

I hate a lot of things about Russia, starting from broken everything, but a few things I love, media does not lie, no hormone meat and gmo crops, water is not mixed with flouride, doesn't make you retard.

You are drugged over there and then softly propaganda is applied. Hey! Russia is near NATO's borders in Estonia and Alaska!

Obama supported the "moderates", which it turns out were allied with ISIS.

Additionally it seems we only care about women and children when a non Democrat is in power.

How do you determine "Moderates" this is just a made up USA term.. How do you determine if someone is radical or moderate..?

Did the USA give everyone of these gun carrying mercenaries a psychologist test, to separate radical beliefs and moderate beliefs? I call BS on this..

The west armed anyone and everyone who was willing to topple the Assad government.. These people are paid, and armed mercenaries.. And Russia eliminated them in NO TIME

Where as we just PRETEND to be targeting ISIS

Politicians just claim credit for everything they can, Trump in particular. He claimed credit for lack of world wide plane crashes in 2017 a few weeks ago - that had absolutely nothing to do with him.

(Not debating Trump has been proactive confronting IS btw, but to claim he was the one that turned the tide is typical political grandstanding).

It's the same here in the UK. If anything good happens, one party will always take credit even if they only just got into office.

Do you even understand the concept of state-owned media? It's really popular in North Korea and China. Mike Pence is a big admirer of the idea, too. When he was in Indiana, he tried to create a state-run media outlet, whose job it would be to use taxpayer money to write warm and fuzzy stories about what a great guy he is. The ENTIRE POINT of state owned media is to lie. That's why the state has to own it.

Here's an example of free speech in your country. If you don't broadcast the state-approved message, they put you in jail.

Hours before the Moscow protest, police raided Navalny's headquarters, where there is a studio for live video transmissions. One broadcaster on the stream said police apparently were using a power grinder tool to try to get into the studio.

The anchors hosting the feed reported that police said they had come because of an alleged bomb threat.

One anchor, Dmitri Nizovtsev, was detained by police, according to video broadcast from the headquarters. Navalny's Moscow coordinator, Nikolai Lyaskin, also was detained Sunday, the Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.

I don't know who you mean. The non-ISIS players in the area are the Syrians, the Turks, and the Kurds. The US is in a 'pick your poison' position.
