And in the latest Trump distraction...

Trump has told Turkey that he will abandon the Pro America Kurds to be attacked by Turkish forces without interference. Nice headline. But what it doesnt say is this forces the Kurds, who are fighting for their existence, to side with the Syrian government forces, back by Trumps good friend and Bank Manager Mr V Putin. Just a bonus there.
With Allies like America, you hardly need enemies.

“This looks to be another reckless decision made without deliberation or consultation following a call with a foreign leader,” Mr. McGurk (the guy who resigned along with Mattis when Trump withdrew from Syria) said after hearing of Mr. Trump’s decision on Sunday. “The White House statement bears no relation to facts on the ground. If implemented, it will significantly increase risk to our personnel, as well as hasten ISIS’s resurgence.”

But who cares about that. Erdogan is Trump's new bff and gets a White House invitation too , so it's all totally cool and legal.

@RodionRomanovitch Plus Erdogan is a dictator, so he gets bonus points in TrumpWorld.
@RodionRomanovitch All we need now is an upsurge in ISIS.

Oh wait....I remember who the POTUS really represents...

[center]He is the lowest of the low. There MUST be repercussions and people need to never trust him.. I know for Britland he promised we will be top of the list for trade, then we won't be top.. then we will.. No way you can trust someone like that.. People need to start calling his bluff and holding him to account for his idiot behavior.[/center]

We were always going to hang the Kurds out to dry sooner or later. Tbh, I’m not so certain that right now isn’t as good a time as any.

And yeah, Assad is the best option they have. That’s true for the rest of Syria, too - and always was.

@QuixoticSoul The one good thing to come out of this is to keep Russia in the region. The Middle East is a rats nest and the powers who mess there usually end up regretting it.

@QuixoticSoul Sad--the best long term solution for the Kurds is give them their own country--when they carved up the Middle East into countries after WW I< they made a huge mistake!!!

@Docdon23 Carving up four countries wasn’t a great option even in the wake of ww2 - and it’s definitely not going to happen now.

Trump looked at the Kurds and weighed the consequences? There's a nice pun in there somewhere.

Allies are never really allies. They are the enemies in the making. The stronger power always tries to read the weakness of the allies to exploit them later. Russia was our ally during the World war, what happened later? Taliban was our ally later and then we dismantled them. Wars we wage has no logic, no meaning. Vietnam? It's all about targeting resources and trade control. Everything else is a cover up.
Great way to make more terrorists.

I knew that our government would betray the Kurds, sooner or later.

@windinhishair Then it shouldnt come as a surprise when your "friends" throw America under a bus when you need them.

@whowasthatmaskedman Trump is trashing allies and embracing enemies. His end game is America First, which means America Alone since no one will help us in the future as we are not honest or trustworthy.

@windinhishair In a word, Yes. Without commenting on any other President, one thing they did all understand was the necessity to have others on your side.
