Trump said
the Kurds pulled out of the WW2

[Kurdish forces have halted all operations
against Islamic State in order to focus
on battling Turkish troops, according
to Kurdish and US officials.
Syrian Kurdish fighters had,
along with US forces, been tackling
the remnants of ISIS,
after the terror group was defeated earlier this year.
Urging moderation by Turkey
during its assault, Mr Trump warned
Ankara that it would be hit
hard financially if it did not "play by the rules".]


Many have Said
the Kurds will blow up bombs
in Turkey
after this move , sadly

The Kurds will have to stop guarding thousands of isis prisoners they hold

Trump is sabotaging US security, no wonder Congress Republicans are furious

[GiRTh]

So this is finally it. People are going to die based on a Trump stupid decision. Wasnt this the nightmare scenario that HRC, Obama and others envisioned?

[Tom4784]

Another indefensible decision by the draft dodger who tried to defend this decision by saying that the Kurds didn't help the Allies during WW2 which is an outright lie as they fought alongside the UK forces.

[UserSince2005]

Blaming trump for this lol since when did we all love America meddling in foreign affairs?

Also how far are we going down the timeline to assign blame? because im going to blame the big bang for all this ****.

have warned that tens of thousands
of people are on the move seeking safety.]

Your first thought is immigration? Not disgust that the US are leaving their allies to be decimated because Trump owns buildings in Turkey?

I don't follow the war stuff - I didn't know Trump owned buildings in Turkey, and I barely knew about the Kurdish involvement.

Well, you should get informed, this issue has pretty much united both sides of the aisle in the US since Trump's decision to leave their allies to die is disgusting.

Looking into more I pretty much agree - by and large I'm not a fan of intervention, but when things have been established and even a passing semblence of order has been formed, pulling out without putting things in place is pretty bad.

That's the thing though, it's not even intervention, The US went in, the Kurds helped us and them and now they'll be branded as terrorists and killed because it suits Erdogan to do so. If the US was to go back to help the Kurds, that wouldn't be an intervention, that would be them going back to defend their allies from an attack the US allowed to happen.

It makes me so ****ing mad. Allies are allies, you don't bring someone into a war and then leave them to die by an invader's hand. It's just... Evil.

Yes Sadly
Trump has chucked the Kurds under the bus.
Turkey is not taking over the Land
in North Syria for good.
They are setting up Camps for the Overload in Turkey
to move back into North Syria.

The US is planning to send more troops, potentially numbering in the thousands, to Saudi Arabia following an attack on its oil facilities last month, which the two countries have blamed on Iran.

Reuters reports:

[Sources familiar with the matter] did not specify exactly how many troops would be deployed or specify whether they would be replacing any other American forces that might be departing elsewhere in the region in the coming weeks or months.

The Pentagon has yet to announce, for example, whether it will replace the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group when it eventually wraps up its deployment to the Middle East.

One of the sources said the United States was also considering deploying additional air defenses to Saudi Arabia. That could not be immediately confirmed, however.

The Trump administration’s decision to send more resources to Saudi Arabia stands in stark contrast to the president’s withdrawal of troops from northern Syria.

Trump said earlier this week of his Syria decision: “I campaigned on the fact that I was going to bring our soldiers home, and bring them home as rapidly as possible.”

So much for his policy of withdrawing troops. What a scumbag

Turkey’s military incursion against the Kurds – US allies in the fight against Isis — is “a ****show”, said Noah. “Thanks to Trump’s impulsive decision, people are now fleeing Syria, the Turkish are now bombing the Kurds, and over 10,000 Isis fighters could be back on the loose.”

And in the midst of this disaster, Noah continued, Donald Trump “is responding the only way he knows how: by being petty as hell”. In a press conference on Thursday, Trump defended his decision by saying that the Kurds did not help the US in the second world war. (They did, in fact, assist the Allies). The argument is ridiculous, Noah said, though “to be fair, not helping in a war is one area President Bone Spurs has experience with”.

One major concern of Turkey’s attack is the likely release of many Isis prisoners, though this didn’t seem to concern Trump; asked his thoughts on the threat this could pose, he responded: “Well, they’re going to be escaping to Europe, that’s where they want to go.”

“That’s really heartless,” Noah said. Trump also needs Europe, because “without Europe, there’s no Romania. Without Romania, there’s no vampires. Without vampires, you don’t have a lawyer,” Noah said over a picture of Rudy Giuliani. “And then who would the FBI indict?”
