Summations Only

I wonder what 50 soldiers as a symbol of America's commitment would do. Doesn't matter now that we've renounced that commitment.It's good our soldiers are still alive. We don't owe the 10,000 Kurds who died for us anything, they're just brown people. Brown people are just cannon fodder. Their lives don't count.

The Kurds took on the responsibility for eliminating ISIS from the area. They were our allies. Until Trump fucked them over.How do you think we should treat allies who died for us instead of our soldiers?

Yeah, used to be a world leader BUSTED: Turkish official says Trump knew ‘precisely’ what Erdogan planned to do with Syria invasion

quote:

---

Gulnur Aybet, a senior adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan, has told CNN that President Donald Trump knew precisely what his government had planned with its invasion of northern Syria.

​

Per CNN’s Jim Sciutto, Aybet told reporter Christiane Amanpour that President Trump and President Erdoan have reached an understanding over precisely what this operation is, referring to the Turkish military’s incursion into northern Syria.

​

Aybet then went on to say that Trump and Erdoan are planning to meet next month to discuss further details of the operation, including what to do about captured Islamic State fighters that remain in northern Syria.

I believe it. It's classic Trumpishness.

They solved our problems for us. We owe them.

That's just your fantasy. FIFY.Do you unquestioningly support any decision that Turkey makes?Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Alliance with the Kurds and alliance with NATO/Turkey are not incompatible.The binary thinking that makes them unable to conceive of more than two opposite possibilities seems to be a distinguishing characteristic of RWNJs.

Well, yes, but I was referring to ICant's "Turkey determined it was in their best interest to create a buffer zone."

Wow, you have very limited intellectual capacity.They are going to take the guards away to fight for their lives and abandon the ISIS fighters to do as they will. False dichotomy. Yes. Continue to support them.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

You really can't see how we can work with both?What have we been doing?Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

As long as we do for our other allies, and maybe longer.

If not for them our soldiers would have had to fight and die. That's an ally helping us,We broke them by throwing them to the wolves. And we further broke our reputation as a nation that honors its obligations.Turks versus Syrian Kurds is not a civil war.

As many as it takes, which would have almost certainly been none had we stayed. . The Kurds fought and died for us. We owe them no matter what papers exist or don't exist. We used to endorse the concept of honor. Now we have none. The fact that their real and obvious goal is to wipe out the Kurds. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

The Senators will fall in line and acquit no matter what the evidence. That is, if Moscow Mitch lets it get that far. That's how they label themselves. That doesn't make them followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Wow, you have a very, very limited intellect. The only idea you have is war. And you have no answers to our questions.The best solution would be to have never started this clusterfuck by leaving the status quo. Since that's obviously impossible I suggest sending our 50 troops back.

And they are smart enough not to do anything while our troops were there. Why do you think war is the only answer?I'm a USMC Vietnam vet. Where were you? Bullshit. The Kurds have a goal of their own country. [qs]Do you really think we can solve such a problem. The only way to solve the problem would be to kill all of them or for them to decide to stop the feud.[qsy
We had the problem solved, at least for many years to come. Who knows what could be done in those years? And
