Real question.
Why the hell are we in Syria? When did that happen? Just like the ongoing war in the horn of Africa, it seems like something that just happened.
I don’t like the Turks. I don’t like the Kurds. Russians annoy me.
So why the heck are we there?
If we let Israel take care of herself, we wouldn’t have to station troops there.
But that doesn’t further the interests of anyone.
Which ally?
We have treaty with Turkey. The Kurds have been doing terrorist attacks against Turkey for decades.
We don’t have a treaty with the Kurds.
It’s not just Israel but if we are to completely remove ourselves from the middle east, then our support of Israel must also end otherwise we can never truly leave.
It would further our own interests which is to put America first.
You're a moron.
Turks are attacking Kurd held areas where there are no Americans. Embed some of our troops with the Kurds, let the Turks know about it and they, the Turks, wouldn’t dare attack.
Maybe we should conscript half the country to protect our “interests” all over the world. What are our interests anyway?
Gee that was a pretty stupid thing to do he will now have to walk back. Like I’ve seen him do a number of times on the world stage. Sheesh
Leave shoulder-fired missile launchers behind, and other such nifty toys, and the Kurds can make the Turks know they’ve been in a fight. These are Salladin’s people.
