I would like all the US troops to withdraw from the Middle East and come back home. However, there was no dignity in the way the Kurd situation was handled. Turkey presses Trump and he just folds and breaks the promise that was made to the Kurds of protecting them and does a quick retreat. Not a good look, not a good look at all.
The sooner we get a non-interventionist President, or party, the better. What a bloody mess.

Thanks Donald
but at least Donald didn’t let little things like the lives of the Kurds who fought ISIS for us get in the way of his personal business.
Are Donald’s supporters tired of winning yet?

An Op Ed, in "Foreign Policy" by Mazloum Abdi, commander in chief of Kurdish forces in Syria...

"The world first heard of us, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), amid the chaos of our country’s civil war. I serve as our commander in chief. The SDF has 70,000 soldiers who have fought against jihadi extremism, ethnic hatred, and the oppression of women since 2015.
They have become a very disciplined, professional fighting force. They never fired a single bullet toward Turkey. U.S. soldiers and officers now know us well and always praise our effectiveness and skill.
I have always told our forces, this war is ours! The jihadi terrorists of the Islamic State came to Syria from all over the world. We are the ones who should fight them, because they have occupied our lands, looted our villages, killed our children, and enslaved our women.
We lost 11,000 soldiers, some of our best fighters and commanders, to rescue our people from this grave danger. I have also always instructed our forces that the Americans and other allied forces are our partners, and so we should always make sure that they are not harmed."

let’s say turkeys forces in Syria are hot by Iran or Russia. Does that qualify for article 5? If it does and they invoke it what do y’all think The Dons response will be?
