President Trump’s acquiescence to Turkey’s move to send troops deep inside Syrian territory has in only one week’s time turned into a bloody carnage, forced the abandonment of a successful five-year-long American project to keep the peace on a volatile border, and given an unanticipated victory to four American adversaries: Russia, Iran, the Syrian government and the Islamic State.
Rarely has a presidential decision resulted so immediately in what his own party leaders have described as disastrous consequences for American allies and interests. How this decision happened — springing from an “off-script moment” with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, in the words of a senior American diplomat — likely will be debated for years by historians, Middle East experts and conspiracy theorists.
But this much already is clear: Mr. Trump ignored months of warnings from his advisers about what calamities likely would ensue if he followed his instincts to pull back from Syria and abandon America’s longtime allies, the Kurds. He had no Plan B, other than to leave. The only surprise is how swiftly it all collapsed around the president and his depleted, inexperienced foreign policy team.

And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials.
Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago.

USA stays out of war = bad
USA = bad
MSM mantra
Imagine the amount of effort it takes to display that level of faux outrage day after day...
His mistake was the way he presented it. He should have waited until Turkey attacked and then announce that he was withdrawing the troops to avoid getting stuck in the middle between the Turks and Kurds.
Would Congress like to declare war?
Calamity? Turks and Syrians killing each other has zero effect on me.
Scum, northeastern presstitutes - all of them - work for our MASSAS. It's not even left vs. right... it's slaves v owners.
Tired of getting our blood and tax money sucked out of us in the Mideast. Let the apes tribes find Jesus like us, or just let the miserable pieces of s**t just continue to kill each other like they always have....less is better.
Calamity Jane.
Will Turkey didn’t start a war Trump did ? LOL
Not a word about Obama’s causing the Syrian war single-handedly by supporting the Muslim Spring and the overthrow of Putin’s close ally, Assad. Not a word.
Syria is 100% Obama’s mess. It is nice to have 450 TV stations and another 700 newspapers run interference for you.

Well said, young man.
YEAH? Not so much NY slimes-— what they were squealing about were their war profiteering from perpetual unsolved un won conflicts. Needing replacement arms, missiles, ammo, tank rounds, mortar rounds etc. And, cruise missiles too!
Beltway bandits.
Period— trough eating non-solution providing “service” contractors.... fat A@@ contractors.
You can always tell the bullsh!t propaganda by noting what the author of this slop DOES NOT say.
The "border" he describes here wasn't nearly so volatile before the Americans illegally occupied a sovereign country (Syria) that was perfectly capable of protecting its own borders.
[USA goes to war = bad.
USA stays out of war = bad]
Pretty much the only options. Unless it was Barack Hussein Obama. Then it would have been the smartest decision made by the smartest community organizer ever.
"Two American officials". Sound legit.
Let’s see who is in the “calamity” when the sanctions hit Turkey.
Trump did the right thing.
To what purpose?
To pull us into another pointless ME war that has no benefits to Americans.
All while the border remains unsecured.
