Most here don’t care.
I’m appalled.
The kurds saved TENS of thousands of Christian lives by standing up to ISIS when NO ONE would
Doesn’t matter if they did it on purpose or not.
They did.
It’s MORE than WE DID FOR YEARS.
And if Trump wasnt elected, Christians would still be getting slaughtered.
And obama probably bathed in their blood.
This is FAR more complex than you're distilling it down to.
"The kurds" is about as descriptive as "The arabs". There are many disparate factions with different allegiances to different degrees with multiple hostilities.
Withdrawing 50 of our best operators from a region that's been largely settled and can be destroyed either economically or via highly explosive munitions if things go south is hardly worth talking about.
I agree with your sentiments there.
I’ve had a running battle with the isolationists on this subject, here and elsewhere.
What saddens me, is the lengths people go to, to dismiss what the Kurds did, and as if their past deeds didn’t matter now.
The Kurdish Peshmerga are one thing, they will be taken care of. The PKK are communist Kurds who have made incursions into Turkey. There are Turkish Kurds who want their own homeland (yes they deserve one), it’s way more complicated than you think.
Erdogan threatening to turn 3.6 million displaced Syrian loose on Europe should be your first clue that there is more here than we know.
How many American lives would you be willing to sacrifice for the Kurds? Yours being the first one.
I’m concerned that he wants to release ISIS from jails.
Very odd.
So you want to declare war on Turkey then?
L
You're right, I don't. Our mission was to eliminate the ISIS caliphate and we did. End of mission........
The Turks have been at odds against the Kurds for decades, it's now their renewed war so let them deal with it.........
Christians?
Majority of Syrian Christians support Assad regime that Obama/Trump governments try to topple.
Syrian Christians didn’t feel good when Trump ordered missile strikes on Assad
regime based on accusations spread by white helmets.
And if Turkey is putting up 3+ million refugees on its own, that means nothing?
Plenty of Kurds are bad communists and even terrorists and almost all are non-Christians. None are US citizens.
It’s 50 troops...
