I don’t see that at all. POTUS is being symbolic, practical, and measured all at the same time.
He is symbolizing that America is not a global police force.
He is deploying debilitating economic weapons to force compliance with peace and security policies.
He is keeping a small contingent of troops ready to destroy any ISIS prisoners (70,000+) that escape.
The Turks are fully capable of managing the incarceration of 70,000+ ISIS prisoners. They have a long history of prison and jail management. It is not a pretty history but then ISIS fighters are barbaric. Turkish barbarism meeting ISIS barbarism is a good deal. POTUS is cautioning Turks to show standards of humanitarianism.
Thank you for your on topic opinion.
