Trump Said He Has 3 Choices To Deal With Turkey Over Invasion

Would you rather civilians be put in body bags over here? Something over 700 ISIS fighters have already escaped, and approximately 14,000 are at risk.

 

No, but the US is not the worlds police force and it's not up to our military to get involved in the wars of others.
Civilians die in wars, it's always been that way unfortunately and it will always be that way until all wars end, which they never will.

 

So we shouldn't have fought ISIS? And now that we have them defeated and held prisoner we should just let them go?

Republicans make me sick, they're willing to betray our allies and let ISIS terrorists who cost thousands of lives to imprison lose to menace the world again, and all this so that Trump can continue building a Hotel in Istanbul. And then they have the unmitigated brazen gall to say they're doing it. in the name of peace and bringing our soldiers home while meanwhile deploying 3000 more to Saudi Arabia.

The people of the USA are neither blind nor stupid, as the Republicans will find out to their regret in 2020 if not sooner.

 

What do you suggest is done with them?

 

Tried and incarcerated for their crimes. Maybe they can be rehabbed, though they'll likely just get older and less able to kill people.

 

If they committed the crimes in Syria they should be executed, not incarcerated. It is after all their country, and their laws.

Fine with me, I'm only saying they shouldn't just be let go, which is what I hear is happening because the Kurds cannot fight the Turks and guard them too.

 

President Trump: “PKK is a greater threat than ISIS, Syria is not my problem”

We, Turks love Trump.

Sanctions will never be happened. Because it is groundless. Turkey is your ally since Korean war.

 

Trump ceded it to Russia.

 

Isn't that a hoot ! The nation that has been arming supporting a genocidal radical Islamist Jihadist proxy army in Syria - for many years - and is still supporting a radical Islamist Jihadist proxy army in Yemen .. is now turning to the "genocide prevention Law"

Priceless Orwellian doublespeak - and "Do as we say - not as we do" proclamation.

 

Then maybe the French or British troops can guard them. It is after all a coalition of military forces.

 

No notice was given to French or British troops that the US would abandon the Kurds

 

I disagree.
In December last year Trump announced that US troops involved in the fight against ISIS in northeast Syria would be withdrawn, so 12 months is a fair notice.
and the phrase abandoning the Kurds is a little biased. How about the more crucial fact that he's saving the lives of US servicemen, or do you want more soldiers in bodybags being sent home?

 

There are no coalition forces in Syria These prisoners being let go is probably part of whatever deal Trump has made with Putin/Erdogan. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump means to use them as shock troops in some sort of Reichstag Fire terrorism incident so he can postpone the election and/or seize more power.

 

The US servicemen there were under no threat whatsoever. Erdogan wasn't about to attack them if they stayed. He's been very careful not to even come close to the US Observation Posts that are still there.

I wonder how many of the ones being withdrawn are being sent to round out the 3000 troops that Trump has sent much much closer to harm's way in Saudi Arabia

The real one who should have withdrawn is Trump's father.

 

Civilians die in wars, yes. They're not supposed to die in cooked up terrorist incidents to gain more power for an incipient dictator

 

No troops have been sent home. They have been sent from the relative safety of North Syria to Saudi Arabia which is in a current war and to Iraq. So, do you want more soldiers in bodybags being sent home? And there is still nearly 1000 troops in Northern Syria.

As for your notice you said Trump gave, he gives contradicting statements every day

Trump previously told the Kurds to reduce their border defenses with Turkey under the promise that Turkey will not attack them.

US-backed Syrian Kurds to remove fortifications from Turkish border as part of ‘safe zone’ deal

This Turkish invasion was all planned by Trump and Erdogan

 

Trump has ended the post WW II U.S. dominance of global politics. He is retreating into bilateralism based on transactional leverage rather than collective security based on principles.
