When President Trump announced that he had ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria and given the green light to Turkey to invade, he was basically telling the Kurds to drop dead.
Trump's decision has earned him rare Republican condemnation from the likes of Lindsey Graham, Marcio Rubio, Nikki Haley and Liz Cheney. Of course, we'll see how firm their condemnation actually is when Trump decides to counterpunch.
But as far as Trump is concerned ISIS has been defeated, he did it all on his own and the Kurds can go to hell.
Yet it raises a very simple question. If ISIS has been defeated then why does Turkey need to go into Syria at all?
This simple question produces a very simply answer. Because Turkey wants to kill Kurds and President Trump is going to let President Erdogan do it because he thinks he can. That and they had a lovely phone call.
If he allows this to come to pass then no one in their rights minds is going to align with us as long as Trump is in office. No one in the Middle East has been more loyal to the United States to the Kurds and this is the thanks they get. When the Kurds finally say no thanks we cannot blame them one bit.
