Pence speaks to press after White House meeting on Syria
Posted on 10/14/2019 5:59:43 PM PDT by bitt
President Trump has played this out perfectly. By isolating Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and effectively leaving him naked to an alliance of his enemies, Erdogan is now urgently asking for the U.S. to mediate peace negotiations with Kurdish forces.
This request happens immediately after President Trump signed an executive order [See Here] triggering the sanction authority of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Erdogan called the White House requesting an urgent phone call with President Trump.
After President Trump talked to Kurdish General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, President Trump then discussed the options available to President Erdogan. As a result of that conversation, Erdogan requested the U.S. mediate negotiations. Vice-President Mike Pence announces he will be traveling to the region with National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien to lead that effort. WATCH:

That’s to be expected from ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC etc....
Trump is establishing a regional balance of power that will allow us to get the hell out of the area. Brilliant. Lindsey Graham so dead wrong.
Us getting out of Syria is part of straightening this mess out. I don’t give a tinker’s damn what happens in Syria. There is no vital US interest there that I am aware of.
Syrian Kurds welcoming the Syrian Army to protect them as we pull out and let the Syrian Army in.

When he asked for your vote he told you he was going to get us out of these never ending wars. He’s only doing what he promised.
Plenty of them bashing President Trump on Fox today, also.
Trump removed our vulnerability from the area (insufficient ground forces), and then threatens Turkey with our most effective weapon (tariffs) and it worked. Brilliant.

And, right here on FR, too :(
Genius move. Here are our ally, the SDF Syrian Kurds greating Syrian/Assad government forces in Manbij, near the Turkish border. You’ll never see this on NeoCon/NeoLib fake US media.

Trump didn’t abandon the Syrian Kurds. He’s allowing the Syrian Army to defend them, and the Turkish attacks have mostly stopped now.
Trump should receive a Nobel peace prize for helping end the Syrian war. The war is now headed to a conclusion.
Yeah...I forgot to add FNC...
OAN is all I watch any more...
Trump is a master at implementing the Economic Instrument of national power. The three instruments are Diplomatic, Economic, and Military. Military should always be the last resort.
Last I heard, I thought the Turks were bombing Kentucky.
I appreciate your comment, which is entirely true. But. Kurds are Christians. And allies. I think.
I wouldn’t mind being wrong, but please explain.
“Trump is savvy, AND if this mess doesn’t get straightened out without terrible loss of Kurdish lives, I’m going to vote for someone else”.

Same here ... if that happens he will not get my vote to be president of Syria.
So good thing POTUS stands for “...of the United States”, and he’s only running for that!

I see lots of articles stating that President Trump had asked VP Pence and National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien to lead a peace delegation to Turkey.
I have yet to see one that says “Erdogan is now urgently asking for the U.S. to mediate peace negotiations with Kurdish forces.” Is this reported anywhere else?
A few Kurds are Christian, but most are Sunni Muslims.
