Trump the draft Dodger has no respect for the lives lost and the act of a consistent ally.
Thousands of Kurds lost their lives while fighting by US forces in the fight against ISIS.. And this how Trump rewards them.
Trump the draft dodger has the blood of the Kurds on his hands.
Trump: ‘I will totally destroy the economy’

Bin Laden risked his life fighting our enemies in the 80s. I dont hear you whining about Obama killing him.

 

[rightwinger]

What does this do to future American conflicts?

We were using the Kurds to do the on the ground fighting against ISIS
We told them we had their backs and would protect them. First chance he got, Trump abandoned them to the Turks and would not lift a finger

Who would trust the US in the future?

Explain to me how the Kurds were "risking their lives for the US just last week."

The US used surplus weapons, and used the CIA to train radical Islamists to create ISIS, so how were they ever a threat to us? They were a policy tool to bring down Assad and give us an excuse to intervene.
Why do you post lies?

"The Special Forces member said the Kurds have not left their positions guarding detainees. In fact, “they prevented a prison break last night without us," the military source on the front line said. “They are not abandoning our side [yet]."

Does that satisfy you, Little "Goose-stepping" Trumpster.

Welp, I guess the "Whistleblower" ploy was so good they had to milk that one for an extra week. Now we've moved onto the new Leftist psych-ops ploy of claiming Trump "betrayed" the Kurds (Tard Ploy #65) because he only hung in there three years longer than he wanted or should have.

Yes, everyone is doing that, just because they want to go after Trump. And not at all because trump's behavior is despicable.

Goddamn dude, look at what Trump has done to your brain. You are a caricature.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course, what people are objecting to is turning our backs on the Kurds to let them be massacred with about 12 hours notice. Goddamn you people are morons.

 

[kiwiman127]

The War on ISIS, the war that Trump claims he won.
8 Americans killed
11,600–12,500 Kurds killed
Draft Dodging Trump and those supporting Trumps betrayal of the Kurds, don't deserve to breath the same air as the Kurds.
But those who fought next to the Kurds have a much different opinion of the Kurds than Trump and his Little Trumpsters.

Obama Betrays The Kurds.

Bush Betrays The Kurds.

[Bill Clinton’s] US abandoned us, say Kurds.

COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES

UNITED STATES SENATE

Senator Graham: Secretary Carter, have you ever heard of the PYD?

Secretary Carter: I have, yes.

Senator Graham: Who are they?

Secretary Carter: They're a Kurdish group, one of several a number of...

Senator Graham: Have you heard of the YPG

Secretary Carter: I have heard of them, also.

Senator Graham: Who are they?

Secretary Carter: Another Kurdish group.

Senator Graham: Aren't they the military wing of the PYD?

Secretary Carter: They are, yes.

Senator Graham: Is that right, General Dunford?

General Dunford: That is correct.

Senator Graham: They're a leftist Syrian Kurdish political party founded in 2003. Reports indicate that they are aligned or at least have substantial ties to the PKK. Is that true?

Senator Graham: Is the PKK a terrorist organization, in the eyes of the Turkish government?

Secretary Carter: The PKK is a terrorist organization, not only in the eyes of the Turkish government, but in the eyes of the U.S. Government, as well, Senator.

Senator Graham: Is it a -- surprising to you that the Turks may be upset with us by arming the YPG in Syria, since they're so closely aligned with the PKK, a terrorist organization?

Secretary Carter: No, it's not at all, Senator.

Senator Graham: So, Turkey is okay with this?

Secretary Carter: They're not okay with that, but --

Senator Graham: I just got back from Turkey. They're not okay with this. They think this is the dumbest idea in the world. And I agree with them.

Senator Graham: How many of the Syrian Democratic Forces, or whatever we're talking about, are Kurds versus Arabs, General Dunford?

General Dunford: There's about 6,000 Arabs, Senator.

Senator Graham: Well, what percentage of the force is that?

General Dunford: That's about 20 percent.

Senator Graham: Okay. So, if you're wondering why Turkey's a little upset, we're arming people inside of Syria aligned with a terrorist group that's fighting the Turkish government. Turkey could do more, but I think this whole concept is, quite frankly, absurd.

Are we surprised the media and liberals are shilling for more war in the mess they left in Syria? Turkey isn’t attacking the Kurds. Nor did the Kurds ever fight for us.

OP is a complete lie. Turkey is not “attacking the Kurds”.

Turkey is now attacking the Kurds. The whole world knew that is what going to happen.
Except Trump and you.

So, what do you want done? Attack our NATO “ally”?

You must be using Trump the great general military tactics. Crap. Who said attacking an ally Turkey?
These Kurds sacrificed and helped us fight an enemy instead of American soldiers.
Now we are abandoning them because Trump have a hotel in Istanbul.

There is no way in hell that you can give me an honest or good reason why we are abandoning these Kurds..History will judge the ineptness of the POTUS. The whole world is watching why they are being murdered. Women, children and men.
Think who are you supporting.

 

[charwin95]

Sorry, but Trump is right....ONE young American life is worth more than a 1000 muslims that have been at war with each other for centuries....and withdrawing 150 of our military from the North is certainly not having us leave Syria.....I would have liked to have seen us leave a few HUNDRED anti-Aircraft missiles as Turkey might be a NATO member but I remember having them turn down our request to fly over Turkey in the Gulf War, so as far as I'm concerned the Kurds could kill thousands of Turks and it would be a good day!

Wrong dude.

We only have less than 100 special ops in Syria. Just sitting and having a good time.
They are not getting or being attack because they are in Kurds territory.

For you to support an atrocities happening right this second because of very bad policy by an idiot POTUS. It’s just unbelievable.

The end results of these.... massive refugees. Lots of them will end up here in US.

 

[charwin95]

We should have never been in the Middle East, period......for years, to have that position, one was called a traitor, a coward, aiding the terrorists -- "if we fight over them there, we don't have to fight them here!!"

For years, anyone talking about ending the wars and bringing the troops home were called cut and runners, deserters on the battlefield -- and most of the people who were saying that call themselves Trump supporters now....

Well welcome to the club, glad you folks are now on board with getting out of the Middle East....hope when a Dem is back in office, you don't change your mind....be consistent for once in your life

Another poorly informed trump supporter

How can you say we are bringing 100 US troops from Syria?

When we just sent additional 200 US troops in Saudi on top of what are already in there.
And the thousands of US forces deployed in carriers and battle ship in the area.

Iran-Russia-Turkey agreed on writing new constitution for Syria through the Astana process and bringing the civil war to end.
A 150 member committee was selected by the 3 countries to write the new constitution with UN backing, which when finalized will lead to elections in Syria.
Committee will convene on 30 October.

(...) Individual Kurdish representatives linked to the opposition are part of this committee, but the political representatives of the Syrian Kurdish fighting forces, the YPG, have been left out, an exclusion that has led to protests outside UN offices in Syria’s northern city of Qamishli.
Assad said he was not prepared to see what he regards as separatists from the Kurdistan Workers party (PKK) – linked to the YPG – involved in the talks since he regarded them as a threat to Syria’s territorial integrity.

On September 23, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced the establishment of the Syrian Constitutional Committee, thanking Russia, Iran and Turkey for their efforts in this area and adding that the first session of the committee will take place within the next few weeks.

Astana guarantors, Small Group invited to Syria’s Constitutional Committee meeting

Your "allies" are out and are regarded as seperatists by Assad, terrorists by Turkey, and Russia and Iran likely see it they way as Assad.
Your "allies" are trying to carve a state out of Syria under the wings of Pentagon, which will never happen and hinders termination of the Syrian Civil War on which Iran, Russia and Turkey have agreed.

What are you trying to achieve in Syria going forward ?

 

[charwin95]

Turkey is not going to take over or smash anything
learn some history
----it's like Beirut/etc --we were accomplishing NOTHING
..also like using force in Somalia-accomplished nothing politically/etc
..also Vietnam
etc

I've been pretty supportive of Trump but I dont like this move. Historically speaking the Turks are some real shit bags. Genocide against the Armenians and other ethnic groups. The Kurds were our boots on the ground so we didnt need to send troops over there That saved American lives, and it wouldn't have killed us to at least secure an agreement with Turkey to hold them to, before pulling out, if thats what we have to do.
The sudden move is pretty bad... sends a bad signal to anyone we need to work with us in the future, and simply..being faithful and honorable to people who have been our friend is the right thing to do. The kurds are one of the most tolerant people in the ME, probably do to all the suffering they have gone through. They dont deserve this. I hope Trump will change his mind.

are we supposed to stay there forever? as people wanted us to in Vietnam?

But you don’t have a problem Trump sending troops to Saudi Arabia to babysit.

The number of US troops in Syria is less than 100 as special operations. Its a small number but it’s a heck of a pay for an allies that helped us fight the ISIS.

we have no business there--still cost $$$$$$
that's what they said about Vietnam=learn some history

Yes we do have business in that area.

You must be stuck stupid with Vietnam because this is a different war.

Syria says no dialogue with U.S.-backed Kurdish forces who 'betrayed' their country

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria’s deputy foreign minister Faisal Maqdad on Thursday attacked U.S.-backed Kurdish led forces saying they had betrayed their country and accused them of a separatist agenda that gave Turkey a pretext to violate his country’s sovereignty.
Asked about whether Damascus should resume dialogue with the Kurdish-led forces that were facing a Turkish assault to oust them from northeast Syria, Maqdad said these “armed groups had betrayed their country and committed crimes against it.”
“We won’t accept any dialogue or talk with those who had become hostages to foreign forces ... There won’t be any foothold for the agents of Washington on Syrian territory,” Maqdad told reporters in his office in Damascus.

It’s interesting that folks here think our troops have no business in Syria, yet some of y’all are cool either he idea of Trump sending Troops to protect Saudi from the scary boogeyman Iranians.

You are confused.

Trump has resisted the Iranians efforts to pull us into a conflict. He is keeping up the economic sanctions to denuclearize Obama's Mullah buddies instead of resorting to military. Beats the hell out of Obama's policy to give his Mullah buddies billions of dollars.

Speaking of the Saudis did you vote for that Crooked Hillary bitch? Because if you did she got millions of dollars from them. Both to her campaign and to her money laundering scam charity. Why would you have voted for the corrupt bitch knowing she was owned lock, stock and barrel by foreign interest?

I love the way you Moon Bats are joining the Neocons to bitch about Trump pursuing a policy of non interventionism to undo some of the damage done by that worthless incompetent affirmative action Muslim Obama. It is hilarious.

Sending troops to Saudi to babysit is that mean we did not sent troops to Middle East. You are confused.

You must be fascinated with Obama and Hillary. Both are now out of the picture.

We are talking about a garbage policy.
