Early reports are usually confused.

We were suppose to be there for 30 days...
Did these people think it was our job to protect them forever? Sorry, grow up world... we’re NOT your patsies anymore...
Okay Lindsey Graham, write that letter requesting NATO kick Turkey out of the organization.
> “... I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!”
Smells like a pile of bovine excrement.
POTUS doesn’t talk this way, it’s likely an exaggeration by locals opposed to the US.
“As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!).”
President Trump is always ten steps ahead of everyone on the world stage.
He stand with America and our Kurdish friends.
This is just another reminder of just how screwed up that part of the world is (and has been throughout mankind’s history). And of course, our own political chess game as only served to complicate it worse.
Lets see - WE are against Syria because of the dictator al-Assad who uses chemical weapons on his own people...
We have supported the Kurds historically because of their opposition to the radical muslims in the region - including in Iraq (against ISIS and other terrorist groups).
WE have a rollercoaster relationship with Turkey - sometimes warm, sometimes cold - but Turkey absolutely HATES the Kurds - and they currently have hard-line leadership, so they are trying to preempt any possibility of a Kurdish state being established.
It is a giant mess - and really is a “no-win” for the US.
What about the story that Trump is pulling US out of Syria?
Was that a cover story to allow the Turks to do this?
No news about Turkey and Kurds in our MSM almost since ISIS was defeated but today for your outrage and fear....
Why does America constantly step in it? The USA is always in a tough spot and in these impossible grey areas.
