Mark says there’s only like 50 troops there. So why don’t they get 50 of their own troops and police themselves?
‘Cuz those 50 troop know the magic spells “Summon Airstrike” and “Summon Artillery Support” which makes them far more powerful than their numbers indicate.
I spent two hours yesterday looking for a US official number of troops in Syria. No one publishes this. You can’t even get a number from CNN.
I doubt if it’s more than 300 total but that’s just a humble guess.
As for the Kurds...what exactly did they really want? Their own independent land? Carving it off from Syria? That wasn’t going to happen.
As for the ISIS prisoners? If you are European ISIS, I suspect Turkey will put them on a raft, and send them in a quiet way to Greece. In three months, all of that 800-odd ISIS Europeans will be in Greece and everyone will get all hyped up about this happening.
