Trump, the great betrayer

Syria made a deal with the Kurds. The Kurds accepted it.

The deal wasn't real. Assad had a gun to the Kurds' head for them to "accept it". Only thing is, the Kurds are still getting slaughtered and Syrian troops are nowhere in sight of the slaughter(deployed along the Turkish border to keep the Turks from attacking the Kurds). So, what's to an agreement if the agreement isn't fulfilled on the one point that was the only point of any real concern?

Where are our allies who claim to be upset with the US over this? Why don't they protect the Kurds? Why is it our responsibility. Once again, we stood up to ISIS while Europe let us do the dirty work and pay for it while they stood back watching the six o'clock news. Now they want us to do the dirty work protecting the Kurds and pay for that as well.

Imagine if Obama pulled a stunt like this? You righties lost your minds over sleeveless dresses, feet on the desk and tan suits.

I don't know who you're talking about, but I was a critic of Obama's war mongering. If only he would have done what Trump has done.

I agree. I don't think we should be anywhere in the ME, nor possibly the rest of the world, in military conflict w/o others committing their blood and treasure as we do. Europe will be hurt first and worst if ISIS and whatever else worsens in the ME w/o our attention. So will the ME itself, because of terrorist orgs, w/o the US, whether, deep down, those ME countries really like us or not.
