100 troops in Syria? How's that going to help the Kurds?

They provide artillery and air support among other things. Take that away and the Kurds are at a tremendous disadvantage against the Turkish army.

I agree. On this issue I do hope Trump reconsiders!

Well, train the Kurds to do the same thing and provide them with the weapons to do it.

I understand the US forces have developed the Kurds into a fine-tuned fighting force with all the weaponry they need, plenty of ammunition which the US will continue supplying and everything needed except for an air force - antiaircraft weapons, yes!

They should be able to take care of themselves considering the rest of the President’s plan for the region.
