The reality is President Trump moved about 25 american special ops troops back and out of the way of an attack.
Most of the people trying to make political hay out of this have no clue what they are talking about and have never been to Turkey or anywhere near the Kurds.
25? I didn’t know that. Can you help provide a link to this information? TIA
But did Trump authorize Turkey to attack the Kurds?
The reality is not the minor deal you make of it.
You would understand how major this change is if you saw it on maps that showed what Erdogan’s “safe zone” will look like, and the destructive impact it will have on the relatively peaceful territory the Kurds put together in Syria, protecting not only themselves but the non-Kurdish Syrians in that area as well.
A twenty mile “pull back” across a large territory only seems small by ignoring most of the major towns in that large area lie within that twenty mile zone, and all are towns the Kurds removed ISIS from; and all are towns Erdogan wants to REMOVE the Kurds from. In other words Erdogan wants to push the Kurds out of the areas major settlements into the no man’s land that is most of the territory.
