Fox “News” is a euphemism for Soros and Romney
which are the probable source.
yeah i’m ####ing embarrassed too. And disgusted.
And for the too lazy to read, it’s been stated over and over that these kurds are watching THOUSANDS of ISIS prisoners.
What happens when the kurds watching them get dead?!?!
Turkey, who bought up SO MUCH OIL from ISIS and gave them free passage and their tanks watched as ISIS killed kurds.
Trump is WRONG on this one.
IDGAF how many Great decisions he has made, and he HAS made a lot, he is WRONG here.
No idea, but sounds like more fake news to keep the military there. Were they invited? The Russians were, maybe they should be the ones to get involved? Next maybe we’ll hear about Turkish soldiers throwing Kurdish babies out of incubators?
Smells like fake news to me. If this soldier wants to defect to the United Nations Special Forces, OK by me.
It’s apparent Trump made a deal with Turkey.
And the Turks are not keeping up their end of the bargain.
Of course it’s legit. But there are freepers here who will curse at him, a special forces soldier, our finest, who is on the scene, because he thinks we should support allies. So what’s the point in asking? I support they premise of getting our troops home and not fighting other people’s wars, but do we leave our partners to be slaughtered? What’s that say about us? There was no good answer for this situation.
I am curious about your views. Would one of of our SF speak out like this? Legit?
I’m certainly not SF but given the disloyal track record of “Trump’s Generals” it certainly rings true.
It’s not an invasion, it’s simply an incursion.
Our President has things under control.
Sorry, but we had no business in Syria and remember that His Arrogance was kissy-kissy with the Turkish ruler.
Unnamed sources are like verbal contracts. Worth nothing.
He’s a moron who doesn’t understand his job.. He is too close to the situation to be objective anymore. The old term was “gone asiatic”. The fact that he is emotionally connected to that culture doesn’t make it smart US policy. We don’t throw wars for his mental health.
He needs to get his emotions in check and remember he is a US soldier, not a damned Kurd.
If this were true the soldier deserves prosecution for talking to Jennifer Griffin.
We have to stop getting involved in wars we have no intention to win. If you are not in a war to win it then you have no business to be in that war!
Also, we keep using the term curds. Like it’s a monolithic group. One bunch of curds is a communist terrorist group according to our own state department. Another group is reasonably friendly towards us. Turkey has hundreds of thousands of rebel refugees that need to get dumped somewhere. Turkeys options are return them to Syria, keep them or dump them in the EU.
But Turkey did bring this on themselves by buying ISIS oil, shooting to Russian jets fighting the rebels, and by being part of the CIA/State group that launched the while Syrian civil war.
The best thing the Kurds could do is make peace with Assad and be Syrian again.
Look, the Kurds were good fighters before we arrived. They’ve had years of training by the best troops in USA. If they can’t hold there own, then it becomes our fight? First, just kill all the ISIS guys in prisons. Don’t let them out to kill more people. Syria is a wasteland. Why should we care.
They showed Kurdish women, children fleeing their homes to avoid being killed by Turkish forces. Is this how we treat our front-line allies who sacrificed many lives to bring down ISIS?
Trump's biggest blunder. This will be a sop of sorts if he loses in 2020!
A soldier complaining????
No, it can’t be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this SF guy wants the US to bomb a NATO ally???
We are essentially setting 10s of 1000s of ISIS prisoners free.
Turkey loves ISIS.
There is one other thing. Trump gave orders To leave Syria almost a year ago. If his orders would’ve been followed at that time, things probably wouldn’t have escalated to this point. The rebellion in our military leader ship is what brought us to the state of affairs today.
