I think it’s almost certain that Trump is doing this for personal reasons. There is zero benefit to the US in all this. He’ll get caught eventually. The damage to the US from this is massive.Quote:

I would have thought this was quite a rare thing. The US military is criticising the US presidents decision.

There is no rules or normality when it comes to Trump and his actions.Quote:

ISIS starts up again and Turkey and Syria about to go to war, Trump's outdone himself on this one..

Stab the Kurds in the back and have them become a Russian ally, Putin didn't even have to lift a finger..
But hey...we've got a couple of Trump Towers in Istanbul...
Asked about the potential threat posed by Isis-related prisoners, he shrugged: “They’re going to be escaping to Europe.”
Helpful to his policy of destabilising the EU as a trading competitor then. Unmatched wisdom :agree:.
Trump has found it very hard to resist helping Putin in every decision he makes for some reason.Quote:

History proves that. The reason people are so fascinated and horrified by the Nazis is because normal people allowed it to happen.Quote:

He's like a parody; he'd be hilarious if it weren't reality.
Just when you think it can't get more bizarre, you read about his letter to Erdogan and recent meeting with Pelosi and co.
What are people expecting Trump to do in this situation, he did not create the mess in Syria.
Are people really expecting the USA to fight along side the Kurds against a fellow NATO ally in Turkey? Do they want American sons & daughters caught up and being killed in a conflict between the Kurds and the Turks?
Does Turkey not have a right to defend it's border from the Kurds, have the Kurds themselves not occupied territory that is not theirs?
The USA have nothing to gain from maintaining a presence in Syria, especially baring in mind that they are currently in that country illegally.
The real focus should be on the administration who supplied arms and funding to the headchopping extreme Sunny terrorists done so in an effort to topple Assad.
Are the kurds attacking the Turkish border?Quote:

From CNN reporter..
""
Pelosi says Trump told her during meeting that reason he pulled troops out of Syria was because of promise he made on campaign to bring them home.
Pelosi told Trump: “Is Saudi Arabia home?”
Pelosi says Trump responded: Saudis are “paying for it.”

The YPG have attacked before.Quote:
