How have we not abandoned the Kurds? We’re withdrawing all support on the ground and in the air, leaving them to Erdogan and his army. Yes Turkey has a large Kurdish population and throughout it’s modern history Turkey has gone out of its way to suppress them to the point that they don’t even allow them to be referred to as Kurds, they’re “easterners”. Kurdish speech, dress, and culture has been under attack by the government for over 100 years. The result has been a powder keg that the government has to continue sitting on. Kurds over the border make that job just that much harder, so of course Erdogan want’s to remove them as a fighting force. And now he has Trump’s OK to do it.

Doodle, why do you feel we have to leave 25 people there? What about that helps the US or its interests?

These people are effectively Muslims of a different sect. They have weapons and ISIS is effectively neutered and not a threat to them. They have weapons and money we’ve supplied.

You want perpetual US involvement in conflicts we are guaranteed to lose, both economically and in lives.

Why are you such a monster who wants US citizens slaughtered for the joy of Muslims in the Middle East? When will you put yourself there to stand for your perverse and perverted concern such that you can be the next US victim from your own strategy?

There isn’t even a concern with oil or other resources we “need.”

You just like having US lives snuffed out like Satan does.
