I would say that they forgot to put whatever nice word Trump said that meant “or else”.
That was cleaned up language. smile.
I think it is Trumps very nature to be direct. No sugar coating. Especially one on one.
I’m sure Erdogan got it. But often Erdogan the Islamist only hears what he want to hear and does what he wants to do. That is usually Kill Kurds. One day, the alligator will devour him.
Unfortunately, this is being between a rock and a hard spot and I don't think we have much leverage. I support the Kurds but what are we going to do? Sanctions? Same with Israel, they've been supportive of the Kurds but they are not about to get heavily involved there.
In fact, the SDF is getting American and Brit and other volunteers again, to fight Turkey aided by the FSA.
