As I said on a previous thread:
At first I thought this was a stupid move by Trump. But our troops were not placed there to give aid to the Kurds in their ongoing conflict with Turkey. They were placed there to get rid of the ISIS Caliphate.
Mission Accomplished.
Time to get out.
It’s also long passed time we got out of Afghanistan. We’ve been there about 17 years longer than necessary.
Trump promised to get us out of these endless conflicts. We voted for him. We should not be surprised when he keeps his promises.
The Kurds are perfectly capable of fighting their own battles with Turkey. If Turkey puts boots on the ground, there will be a lot of Turkish soldiers pushing up daisies. I don’t think it is in our best interests to start shooting the Soldiers of a NATO ally or having them shoot ours.
SHEEPTURD SMITH IS A RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the DOD would have smartly obeyed Trump’s order a year ago to leave Syria, this situation may not exist at all. DOD and CIA played a lot of administrative games and changed nothing. Our planes still illegally prowl Syrian skies, we now call our soldiers “trainers”, “advisors”, etc.
And now we have this. Had the military actually followed orders, the Kurds would have had to come to an agreement with Assad, and/or Erdogan, or launch a new war in our absence... and this wouldn’t be a problem.
DOD wrecking, sabotage, gold-bricking, and sophistry when given a direct order is the root of this.
By the way, anybody else notice that our President is not really in full control of the DOD and CIA and FBI?
There is a term for that....
