Be sure to take a breathless pause and the. Repeat Ah-Lep-po slowly. Just the single word

[quote=AN]What is Aleppo? = Overblown nonsense.[/quote]

Really? It’s like not knowing what Saigon is during the Vietnam war. Say what? Gone where?

I’m going to test this one also.

Geography questions can be fun. What is Yalta? Winston Churchill admirers ahould know… Remember the bust controversy?

[quote=AN]What is Aleppo? = Overblown nonsense.[/quote]

It is overblown, since Johnson was irrelevant long before he demonstrated his cluelessness.

I work with the military, if you or your friends were there it is not overblown nonsense.

Our government may be overblown nonsense, but to the folks on the ground this shit is real.

Oh fuck please.

Just fucking stop.

Aleppo isn’t a one word place holder for the shit going on in Syria. That’s what’s so fucking stupid about this. And yes, this is about time to start saying fuck.

Because everybody keeps playing grab ass bullshit games.

The question could have been, what are you going to do about the Syrian crises. The Syrian conflict. or any number of things, but a one word bullshit Ah–Lep’—O is just fucking bullshit.

That shit started out of the Arab spring, that same shit that gave us Benghazi.

The same shit, the Ms Foreign Chops, can’t think of a more qualified person to be President was on the fucking deck of and principal role was Secretary of the Fucking State responsible for that sh*t. Apparently she was watching the video the Administration told us was responsible for it.

And Trump is a blowhard fucking idiot but everybody wants to play one word grabass and act like asking “What is Ah-Lep-O??” is a fucking major thing because they’re reading the the fucking primer published in almost every media outlet half of which like the LA Times were showcasing talking heads claiming is was Capital of ISIS which it isn’t and which the LA Times pointed out.

And as soon as questioner got over the “you don’t know Aleppo bullshit” and said Syria, Johnson was on it and pointing out that it’s a fucking quagmire mess and total disaster.

But play grab ass on “Ah–Lep–O”

Relative to Benghazi, email, pay-to-play state dept on one side and EVERYTHING about Trump on the other side. Hell yeah this is overblown nonsense.[/quote]

You just compared Aleppo to Benghazi?

Yeah, just to elaborate, a few people died in Benghazi. Tens of thousands have died, and hundreds of thousands displaced in Aleppo.

There’s a lot of people in the US who have no idea who or what Aleppo is. And more than 30% who think the US should build a wall along the Atlantic coast to keep Muslims out. And I suspect almost all of them support 1 presidential candidate. The point I’m trying make here is that the country is filled with uninformed people.

That a small, though significant, percentage would support someone for president that doesn’t know what Aleppo is, is alarming. But a significant number also think something happened at Benghazi that should affect their presidential vote. There’s a lot of alarming shit going on.

Who voted for the Iraq war? What brought on ISIS? It doesn’t matter how many died. 1 is too many. But it matter more who lied about what.
