I’m betting the Kurds requested this because they and Assad can go full offensive and show Turkey some ME hospitality for its actions in the ME.

I'm not saying we should send our armor against Turkey. I'm asking questions about the whole mess. We're sitting ina genocidal country with 50 nukes and like tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousand US citizens, many service members, families, and contractors. Syria was a disaster, Kurds were helping us, now we've stepped aside to loose Turkey on them, Trump is inviting Russia and others to help the Kurds, etc. Disengaging, withdrawing from the region, might be good, but need it be so disorderly? And is the apparent breakup with Turkey intentional or an unintended consequence? Is this all plan or just poorly thought out?
And how long until someone says Trump stirred the pot to distract from impeachment?

We should be equally opposed to Erdogan AND Assad. And Turkey in NATO and Turkey as ally needs serious reconsideration. Turkey needs to booted from NATO, it needs to be disarmed.

Yep.
To: Reno89519
If Turkey is booted from NATO they will join forces with Russia. They have done nothing wrong. They are just defending their border.
To: Helicondelta
Turkey has done nothing wrong?! If you really believe that, then I presume you object to sanctions President Trump is putting on Turkey? And objecting to his calls for a ceasefire? Etc.? So, if they have done nothing wrong, then maybe Trump did greenlight all of this, even if subtly?
I do not agree.

Trump proved why Turkey shouldn’t be in NATO.
To: Reno89519
We should have plans to destroy the Turk ready to act at a declaration of war from Congress and full funding.

Our alliance has been faced with what to do with Turkey and we have sat on our hands since 1973. This latest is a tiny blip compared to past Turkish actions.
I still recommend negotiating new alliances and then pulling the plug altogether on NATO.

Actually, I believe that the nukes were moved to Romania late in Obama’s administration.

Why on earth would you want to help Erdogan?
Let them kill each other off.

I tell you what.
Take yourself on a trip to Verosha and come back and tell us about how Turkey has done nothing wrong. And do that before you go trying to convince people who pay attention to the world as a whole about Turkey.

I say quietly remove the nukes. Then make a gradual withdrawal of US personnel from Turkey. Turkey is slowly changing from a secular republic to an Islamic state. At this point I dont care if Russia did take them over!

No....they are not defending their border....they have crossed into Syria. That’s the wrong side of the border.
To: Reno89519
So nothing happened? That’s the gist of this article -nothing at all has happened

I read another article citing the move to Romania, too. That article said these nukes are B61 gravity bombs with yields up to 170KT, way beyond a tactical nuke.

Another BS writer.
Funny, how people like this gutless Mitt Romney are sitting back, waiting eagerly to criticize the president at every turn, hold off for any praise of our president when he does the right thing.
The only person you hear is Rand Paul.

So, we have panties-in-a-twist concern trolls using NYT and PBS stories to show that their wrong reads on the situation are actually “right”.....If you worked in the WH, we’d be wondering how the President could have hired such a backstabbing cretin...

So cute, so early in the morning. Hoping to sneak something idiotic into our discussion? How does throwing in troll and insults further discussion?
