So we’re suppose to attack a NATO ally?

The few that President Trump is removing merely takes them out of harms way - resources are still available to be called in if/as needed.
Turkey is a NATO “ally” - the president is tired of trading our blood for causes we have decided aren’t worth all-out war.

I do believe most Americans give a crap meter on the fate of everybody in that region is exhausted.

People are just outraged out when it comes to how crappy people in the middle-east treat one another.

Our involvement has largely be one of an exterminator doing pest control - now we just want them to bug off. Is it realistic - probably not. Do we feed the dragon by being there probably. Its a messed situation either way so how about less American's be involved and lets enjoy the fruits of energy independence while the natives sort out their own sandbox.

There are at least 6 local players in this region. Removing our policing military allows them to work out their own salvation. Turkey’s incursion guarantees Assad and Russia will not dominate. The Kurds have persisted for a thousand years. Trump has committed to economic sanctions if they are attacked beyond reasonable measures. THAT is a bigger stick than a few hundred policing forces. This will work out as it should. We are not the world’s police force.

Smells like a set up. A Deep State/CIA setup.

Yes Turkey is attacking. Not sure how this will work out but Trump inviting Erogan to the WH is a mistake IMO. We’ll see.
