Putler´s poodle did it again , than he will call Obama for coward and weakly. look like any other reality star in USA ´d better than this one . who ´d want to be USA´s ally after this ??? by the way its worst backstabbing of Israel ever

"The US says it is stepping aside for an imminent Turkish operation against Kurdish-led forces within Syria that have until now been a key US ally.

Kurdish militias played a major role in defeating the Islamic State (IS) group, but Turkey regards them as terrorists.

The US - which has hundreds of troops near the Turkey-Syria border - has reportedly begun to withdraw them.

The main Kurdish-led force has condemned the pullout and accused the US of abandoning its fighters.

In January, President Trump threatened to "devastate Turkey economically" if it attacked Kurdish forces."

I suppose we should one again note the abject hypocracy and /or parochial world view of Trump’s noisy supporters.

Five years ago, these very same people were all yelling about Obama’s “lead from behind remark”. They attacked Obama for not staging a full scale military operation in Syria.

Fast forward to Trump world.

Syrians drop chlorine gas in civilians and Fox Noise doesn’t notice at all. They certainly aren’t going to challenge Trump’s loyalty to the Kremlin.

Now, the Turks are mounting operations against the Kurds, who were crucial allies to the US in the fight against ISIS (which is showing signs of re emerging in western Iraq). And the US intends to betray them and leave them to the mercy of the Turks (who just bought a bunch of weapons from Moscow, too, and for the first time ever).

But you won’t hear a peep from Trumpster about this.

They really cared about it when Obama was President.

But, like fiscal discipline, this is another item on the traditional foreign policy list that Trump carelessly trashes, and his base takes the exact opposite position than they had four years earlier.

The loyal base which supports President of the United States of America Donald Trump should, rather than wear 'MAGA' hats, wear 'DTAA' hats -- 'Donald Trump Above All'. As far as any other loyalty goes for them, feh!

Trump has tried to screw over every other alliance we've ever had, why not the kurds?
 
So did Trump just betray the Kurds because
(a) He has business interests in Turkey
(b) Erdogan, being a brutal autocrat, is his kind of guy
(c) His boss Vladimir Putin told him to

Remarkable that all three stories are perfectly plausible.

" Defying Pentagon, Trump Backs Turkish Operation in Syria Targeting U.S.-backed Kurds

U.S.-backed militia says American forces failed to meet their commitments, as Washington informs Kurds it wouldn't protect them against imminent Turkish incursion"

They say the Kurds are the largest ethnic population in the world without a homeland of their own.

In the Turkey/Iraq/Iran/Syria area the only people who are opposed to the Kurds (and the only ones who consider them to be "terrorists" simply because they attack civilian targets in order to create levels of fear and apprehension which will compel the local governments to accede to their demands for a "historic right" which they have never possessed) are the Turks, the Iraqis, the Iranians, and the Syrians.

Since the Kurds are NOT demanding that the US government cede them a single square inch of American soil in order to "re-establish a Kurdish homeland" (which never existed), the US government is quite correct to stay out of other people's wars.

Need to ask Gym Jordan and Marco Rubio if this is serious or...?

Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over..."

Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!"

One can draw two, equally likely, conclusions from those "Tweets":

  1. someone who has serious mental health and cognitive difficulty problems HAS hacked Mr. Trump's Twitter[sup]®[/sup] account; or
    *
  2. someone who has serious mental health and cognitive difficulty problems HAS NOT hacked Mr. Trump's Twitter[sup]®[/sup] account.

My hopes and prayers are on Option 1.

My lunch money is on Option 2.
