In a span of 24 hours, President Donald Trump moved from threatening to obliterate Turkey’s economy if it invades Syria to inviting its president to visit the White House.

Carrot and stick.
I’m completely fine with this.
That’s a lie, Erdogan was invited more than 24 hours ago.
I am tired of the waffling. Trump should not say things, set lines in the sand, that he does not intend to honor. Why not summon the ambassador to the White House, give Turkey a clear statement to be obliterated as announced, if they do not comply within 24 hours, maybe less. Then do it.
Art of the deal. AP doesn’t know what Trump knows.
You and I do not know what Trump knows.
Trump should encourage German busybodies to bark at Turkey.
I don’t care what he knows or doesn’t know. I do care about keeping one’s word, following through on commitments. When a line is drawn in the sand, it must be believed. Trump and our nation’s honor is at stake. The lives of the Kurds are at risk. Turkey, and nearby Iran, see a paper tiger if we waffle as is apparently occurring.
They’ve already said they don’t want anything to do with this.
The brainiacs who are criticizing Trump are the same ones who set Middle East ablaze twenty years ago. The same ones who created ISIS and claimed it represented a generational problem. The same ones who laughed when Trump said he knew better about ISIS than Barry and his generals. The same ones who watched Trump obliterate ISIS in a year. Who does the entire DC establishment support on this? DC picks the loser every time.
So how many cities in Syria do you know? Do you know their local govenors? If Trump went into Ukraine and needed the Kurds do you think they’d be this interested in fighting with the army? Also, Trump Drew no lines, he rarely, if ever, does. Finally, Trump didn’t change his mind on inviting this guy. He said it days ago on Twitter. Stop being led by Trump’s enemies
Every time BBC talks about this invasion they make sure they say several times in each story that Trump gave the Green Light , LOL
The EU could stop Turkey.
Why hasn’t it?
No , the Left is trying to blame all of this on Trump , Again
Not sure how this will shake out. Trump is not easily played but in some ways it appears Turkey and Russia may have won this time.
Are you a troll? Because you are acting like one.
Tue media still doing what it does best lie and repeat.......
The PKK Kurds in Turkey are basically terrorists, they promote a communist state. They are not the same as the Peshmerga Kurds.
As a former Navy guy, I am sure you are willing to do some real land-based work as a target for communist Kurds in Syria, correct?
Let your rich blood drain into the soils of non-US citizens in PKK or ISIS territory to help keep our honor, Sir! I fully support you!
