Only days after President Trump gave Turkish President Erdogan his blessing to enter Syria to fight Kurds who supported U.S. efforts against ISIS, the Turkish military attacked approximately 100 U.S. Special Forces who were in the Kurdish controlled city of Kobani. The attack is being treated as an accident and no casualties are being reported as of this writing.
If there are casualties then it is on Trump's head. But even if this attack results in no casualties it was entirely avoidable. Had Trump not said how high when Erdogan said jump then U.S. Special Forces would never have been placed in this sort of danger. But this is the kind of garbage which happens after American Presidents make decisions to move troops after phone calls with authoritarian leaders without talking with our military's top leaders. For shame.
