Fixed.I’d love to know what actually caused America to think it was a wise idea to pull out of northern Syria. 48 hours later an all-out assault ensues from Turkish forces. The Kurdish have been hung out to dry - again - why on earth do we want association with such a vile country as the USA?
I’d love to know what actually caused TRUMP to think it was a wise idea to pull out of northern Syria. 48 hours later an all-out assault ensues from Turkish forces. The Kurdish have been hung out to dry - why on earth do we want association with such a vile country as the USA?
Fixed.
And probably because Erdogan (and possibly Putin) buttered him up and got Trump to agree to it by thinking he'd won. Always been the danger IMO of a Presidential figure - a single individual can make decisions like this.
Also see our 'special relationship' won't see the wife of the US diplomat being returned here to face charges. Can you see them being happy if one of our lot fled the country after saying they wouldn't and us then refusing to return them?
It would have been an accident and may well have got a reduced punishment but having fled the country she's now made the situation a whole lot worse as there are lots of other charges she could now face.
They're losing friends fast as being shown to be untrustworthy allies and how they treat others with disdain.
Aren't the Kurds patrolling keeping Isis prisoners locked up as well, or at least they were.
Yeah. But apparently they are now more preoccupied fending of the Turks though some ISIS got moved prior to US troops pulling out.
I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.
"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."
This veteran US Special forces soldier has trained indigenous forces on multiple continents. He is on the frontlines tonight and said they are witnessing Turkish atrocities.
"Turkey is not doing what it agreed to. It's horrible," this military source on the ground told me.
"We met every single security agreement. The Kurds met every single agreement. There was NO threat to the Turks - NONE - from this side of the border." "This is insanity," the concerned US service member told me. ""I don't know what they call atrocities but they are happening."
This American soldier told me the Kurds have not left their positions guarding the ISIS prisoners. In fact "they prevented a prison break last night without us."
"They are not abandoning our side (yet)."
The Kurds are "pleading for our support." We are doing "nothing."
Troops on the ground in Syria and their commanders were "surprised" by the decision Sunday night.
Of the President's decision: "He doesn't understand the problem. He doesn't understand the repercussions of this. Erdogan is an Islamist, not a level headed actor."
Acc to this US soldier on the ground tonight in Syria: "The Kurds are as close to Western thinking in the Middle East as anyone. "It's a shame. It's horrible." "This is not helping the ISIS fight." Re: ISIS prisoners: "Many of them will be free in the coming days and weeks."
This US Special Forces soldier wanted me to know: "The Kurds are sticking by us. No other partner I have ever dealt with would stand by us."
Disappointed in the decisions coming from their senior leaders.
Apparently Erdogan has threatened to dump them in Europe should anyone dare to describe his actions as an 'occupation' too. No idea if that will constitute crossing 'the line' that Trump is going on about.
You know Trump has messed up when even Fox News are against it.
Jennifer Griffin, national security correspondent for Fox News tweeted this:
You do wonder with Erdogan if maybe he WANTS ISIS to make a comeback.....?
Probably not. Dumpng them in Europe is not Trump's problem - he couldn't give a fuck about Europe.
Threaten to dump them in the US however.....
Nothing to do with the hotel he wants to build in turkey im sure
suicide bombings from ISIS.
Must be fake news because Trump has been bragging that the USA (no mention of the Kurds) had caught 100% of ISIS so it was job done let’s get out of here.
it's disgusting what is happening to the Kurds. Though lets be honest, As much as trump is an absolute wanker I doubt it would be any different if it was obama or hilary.
Our politicians have been silent as well, the fucking pussies.
President Trump wisely wants the US to withdraw from all unnecessary foreign conflicts.I’d love to know what actually caused America to think it was a wise idea to pull out of northern Syria. 48 hours later an all-out assault ensues from Turkish forces. The Kurdish have been hung out to dry - why on earth do we want association with such a vile country as the USA?
Did you see what he said about Kurds not helping us in WW2? It’s beyond ridiculous and apparently taken straight from the pages of a far right publication.
They are tired of being (and paying for) the world's police force.

The majority of US citizens believe the US military should only get involved in conflicts that directly threaten the US homeland.

And now the choice has changed.That’s always been their choice though.
Trump has sent 14,000 US troop to defend Saudi Arabia since May including an additional 1,800 announced today.President Trump wisely wants the US to withdraw from all unnecessary foreign conflicts.

The American economy is better than it's been in decades, more jobs, less unemployment, less illegal immigration, and we're not involved in any foreign conflicts.President Trump and wise in the same sentence, fucking hell! The man who wanted to build a wall to stop illegal immigrants even though they were coming in through tunnels!
And, yes, they want to stop being the world police, that's why they delegated to the Kurds, and he showed his gratitude by throwing them under the bus.
And now the choice has changed.
The rest of the world will have to take up the slack.

Or maybe it is designed to crush the remains of ISIS? The Turks won't piss about with arresting them...they'll just snub them outYou do wonder with Erdogan if maybe he WANTS ISIS to make a comeback.....?
