Trump will lose this fight, whether the policy stays or not.
The risk, to us, of leaving the policy alone and telling Erdogan to go stuff it was very small.
The violence in Syria the policy change is going to unleash will be worse than the violent political reactions against the policy here at home, but both will be negative weights on Trump.
Trump has the wrong angle on this.
It is not a case of EXTENDING our military in an ADDITIONAL war. It was already there when Trump entered office.
It is a case of continuing commitments already made; of loyalty kept with an ally, particularly when you know that ally is going to be attacked, after you have worked so hard defending them.
If we have ever had a more true ally in the Middle East, besides Israel, it would have to be the Kurds.
Wow.... I really can't get over the absolute SHIT I read here. Kurds are a back-ass Mideast tribe of Maoist commies, who slaughter Christians when we're not looking.
You have a warped definition of "friend."
