We need to be liberated from the NATO enslavement. Trump is pro Turkey and helping us do this.

>#IS released pictures from inside of Raqqah City showing how they targeted a convoy of #SDF and American fighters at the Noor street in which 3 Americans were wounded and several #SDF fighters were killed. This is the first visual media #IS has released from inside Raqqah city after they lost the city to the #SDF.

ATGMs should always take advantage of their standoff capabilities, so they are used at those ranges if possible. Problem is that outside of Arab shitfests, actually finding targets to engage at that range is extremely unlikely. Never mind that if they're static targets, which are just about the only ones you can reliably engage at that range, you're better off getting indirect fires called on them.

>not modernized nations facing modern tanks Even the most modern atgms don't have a range of 10 km for anti tank munitions, apart from perhaps helicopter launched ones which are a different issue entirely.
Do you guys remember way back in 2012 some hacker managed to get access to Assad's personal email or something and his password was literally 12345 or some shit like that lmfao

Trump open to lifting Russia sanctions if they work with U.S. on Syria, Ukraine
President Trump on Monday said he would consider lifting sanctions on Russia if Moscow were to take steps towards working with the U.S. on issues like Russia and Ukraine. Mr. Trump made the comments in an interview with Reuters.
It's yet unclear exactly what kind of steps Mr. Trump would require to ease such sanctions. Mr. Trump insists he has been tougher on Russia than any other president, despite the laudatory way he speaks of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr. Trump also said he is "most likely" to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again, after their summit in Singapore.
"I stopped (North Korea's) nuclear testing. I stopped (North Korea's) missile testing. Japan is thrilled. What's going to happen? Who knows? We're going to see," he said, adding about Kim, "I like him. He likes me."

Regarding matters elsewhere abroad, the president told Reuters he originally thought he had a deal with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to release American pastor Andrew Brunson, who is still under house arrest. Brunson has been held by the Turkish government for nearly two years. Mr. Trump said "there will be no concessions" with Turkey. The president also told Reuters he wasn't concerned that U.S. tariffs on Turkey — tariffs the U.S. has said are related not to Brunson's situation but to currency — could negatively affect the European economy.
Also on trade, Mr. Trump said he doesn't expect a deal to end the trade dispute during talks between the U.S. and China this month. The president also said he has "no time frame" for reaching such a deal, as the U.S. and China continue to slap tariffs on each other. In March, the president claimed trade wars are, "good, and easy to win."
"I think China's manipulating their currency, absolutely. And I think the euro is being manipulated also," he told Reuters.
Mr. Trump, who said he would meet with Iran's president without any preconditions, told Reuters that if Iran President Hassan Rouhani wants to meet with him, fine. But if that doesn't work out, "I could not care less," said Mr. Trump, who also said there has been no outreach to Iran over possible talks.
