How can Trump be so blind.
Turkey invaded the Afrin area of Syria, kicked out or kidnapped to Turkey any Kurdish fighters who had been protecting Afrin from both Assad and ISIS. Then this week he moved harvesting equipment into the Afrin area and harvested the Afrin people’s wheat harvest, to ship it to Turkey.
Erdogan is an Islamist megalomaniac we should not be making any deals with. Unless Erdogan is voted out of office - not remotely likely, Turkey should be kicked out of NATO and we should not be doing deals with it that mere help protect its genocidal actions against the Kurds.
I'm speculating: Did President Trump at last get the real information? That would be that all of those chemical attacks and starving children were deep-state shenanigans that support if not ISIS, its goal to topple Assad? That McCain's Terrorists have enabled ISIS from its very beginnings? If that's the case, perhaps US troops are there to keep Turkey in line. I hope that's the case.
