Does anyone know how many troops Trump is withdrawing? I thought it was pretty few.

Thanks if you can help

Something like 50 troops along the Northern Border of Syria with Turkey...That will cause the whole house of cards to fall I suppose...

Well, the question is - is he exposing the Kurds there to an attack for Turkey.

Trump himself said 50 on a presser.

Half of a platoon = 50 soldiers.

But the real power behind those 50 is not their rifles.
It is the fighter aircraft support they can call in.
And Trump is keeping the air support nearby in tact.
Which means the Kurds can call it in as well if needed.
