Stream of stories in @Jerusalem_Post about @realDonaldTrump and Turkey: https://google.com/amp/s/m.jpost.co...w-with-safe-zone-invasion-doctrine-603830/amp Now breaking news of an Erdogan visit to U.S. so a “deal” of some sort is at hand. We can’t be in middle of a Turk-Kurd war in Syria.

Turkey can’t want a war with Kurds but if it does we can’t be killing Turks with Americans throughout Turkey, our base there. Some will cast any deal w/ Turkey as @realDonaldTrump getting close w/ a dictator. It’s not. It’s dealing with the realities that we can’t stay forever.

We aligned under Obama not with “the Kurds,” but with the PKK, the sworn enemy of the Turkish Republic, our ally. We were sowing the seeds of a Turkish-PKK war with that policy. We were also driving Turkey toward Russia.

From the archives | Surprised by what you're seeing in Northern Syria? I'm not. Back in January 2018, I explained the dilemma that Obama put us in with respect to Turkey, and described the tsunami of wishful thinking that was washing over Washington |

Might this conceivably be because no previous President has ever behaved like Trump before?

There are people on the board (you know who you are!) who insist that Trump is a fairly normal politician and president, which conveniently helps them avoid that question. The irony is that they then claim that it's Trump's opponents who are too overcome with political bias to have an objective opinion.

But it does mean ISIS was our natural ally against the PKK. Really why were we ever bothering with them instead of going against the Kurds like we should have been?

Trump doesn't care about either ISIS or the PKK because neither of them fellate his bloated but fragile ego.

I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great Military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA. The two most unhappy countries at this move are Russia & China, because they love seeing us bogged.....

....down, watching over a quagmire, & spending big dollars to do so. When I took over, our Military was totally depleted. Now it is stronger than ever before. The endless and ridiculous wars are ENDING! We will be focused on the big picture, knowing we can always go back & BLAST!

He needs a new accomplishment for his campaign to distract the impeachment.
 
Trump seems to be about the only person who thinks his sudden decisions to pull out of Syria is a good idea.
There is going to be lots of ugly footage coming out of Syria over this.

"As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...
....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!"

yeah, you guys are great.

I love checking the number of replies each Tweet gets. Most of his get from 5,000 to 10,000 responses. This one's almost up to 60,000 now.

However, the highlighted parts really alarm me and I imagine it will do the same to other countries as well.

I love Donnie's attempts to show how pulling out of Syria is somehow sticking it to Putin.
And his total lack of concern for the Kurds just shows the man is a sociopath;nobody has any real existence to him except how it impacts him.
