That huge sucking sound you hear is the sound of the Trump presidency going down the toilet.

I feel so horrible for those people left on their own for the wolves to devour then there's the little fact that there's about 10,000 ISIS hardened fighters that have been imprisoned there in Syria who will be free to re-emerge as a strengthened and viable threat worldwide. What a ****ing bloody bad mistake Trump has made here. Understanding that he's a Russian asset makes a whole lot of sense.

Notice everyone has forgotten all about the Mueller investigation and the fact that Trump is defying congress?

Turkey begins military offensive in Syria, days after Trump announced pullback of US troops

Turkey has launched a planned military offensive into northeastern Syria, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Wednesday, just days after the Trump administration announced it was pulling US troops back from the border area.

"Our aim is to destroy the terror corridor which is trying to be established on our southern border and to bring peace and peace to the region," Erdogan tweeted.
​

Erdogan is calling this operation, "Peace Spring". About as Orwellian as it can get.

We are watching the roots of a new America-hating caliphate being birthed. Expect blowback in a couple years.

Calamity had already started a nice thread on that subject. Maybe you want to merge yours with that one?

Turkey launches offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria

Turkey launches offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria

"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the start of the campaign, which followed an abrupt decision Sunday by U.S. President Donald Trump that American troops would step aside to allow for the operation."

"Trump’s move represented a shift in U.S. policy that essentially abandoned the Syrian Kurdish fighters who have been America’s only allies on the ground in Syria. They were longtime U.S. allies in the fight against the Islamic State group."

======================]

Trump is the worst president in American history. This is unbelievable.

Trump just set back American standing in the world to an all time low.
 
Re: Turkey launches offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria

Those Kurds weren't going to ethnically cleanse themselves, you know. Trump is a brave man giving Erdogan and Putin this chance to take over.

You left out Iran. They are going to turn to one or a combo of each of them to survive now. Welcome to WW3.

this cant be true. Trix told me so

Pulling our forces out of Syria does not equate to abandoning the Kurds. Trump has threatened to destroy Turkey's economy, obliterate it, if Ankara takes a planned military strike in Syria... Turkey has no other choice than to retreat.

Just so you know Republicans... This is what an ACTUAL "Stand-Down" order looks like.

Putin's puppet indeed.

This certainly has the potential to get real ugly. Good thing we have a Stable Genius in charge. I'd hate to think what would happen if we had a thin-skinned, narcissistic egomaniac with no experience or capacity in charge. Man, would we be screwed then.
 
This is bad. Trump just ****ed allies that had our back.

Looks like the forum's right-wing soothsayer was just a tad wrong. #PutinsPuppet ordered a stand down.

When has a Trumpeteer been right about anything. They go to outrageous lengths to excuse Trump because they love how Trump gets under people's skin and they think they are "owed" from 8 years of Obama. They let their spitefulness rule to the detriment of the Republic and now to civilians in a war torn land.

It was all fun and games until people started dying, now it's beyond the pale.

So, does that mean Erdogan has already ethnically cleansed about 20% of his own population?!? ... given that about 15 million Kurds live in Turkey.

It's almost as if the conservative brain is completely incapable of understanding relatively straightforward diplomatic issues.

This is what happens when we elect a narcissist as a president. Stab allies in the back and throw them to the wolves. I have been following the Kurds and Rojava for years now, hoping they can attain independence with as little violence as possible. Trump simply doesn’t give a **** so long as his hotels in Istanbul are safe.

Re: Turkey launches offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria

Just out of curiosity...if 'the world' is so concerned about this...where the **** are they at? Why arent they rushing to defend the Kurds? Where is the EU? Where is Canada? (Im sorry...that was a joke...couldnt help myself). Where are all these concerned government entities?

For decades we provided support for the Turkish government fighting the Kurds who had the bad fortune to support a free Kurdistan while residing within Turkeys borders and no leftists seemed very upset about that. Why is that?

As Erdogan announced his plans to go into Syria and as the idiot left wring their hands about our failure to counter their initiative (did they expect those 1000 troops without real combat support to be a sacrificial trip wire? Did they expect a buildup? A declaration of war?) did they give any thought to the fate of the 6000 US Servicemen and women and their families currently stationed at Incirlik or the long term fate of one of our most strategic bases in the middle east?

Did any of you?
