It would be hard for anyone to match the exact degree of wisdom that Donald J. Trump holds.
Why is Turkey attacking? (I know "why", I want to know what's their excuse)
Elections have consequences. Not that I think most american voters care one bit about their allies abroad, tbh.
Question - why is turkey invested in kurds not in Turkey? I thought their issue was kurds wanting their own state.
So Turkey, Syria, and Russia team up together. Sounds like a nice, healthy way to start a story. Surely, no atrocities are about to happen.
Classing PKK/YPG as terrorists when they have been doing everyone else's work fighting IS. It's absurd and absolutely fucking vile that we are leaving our allies to be demolished.

"Republicans" this "GOP" that, "Trump's presidency", stop using those words to separate yourself from the reality that these actions represent every american.
It is absurd for the YPG but the PKK *is* a terrorist organization.Classing PKK/YPG as terrorists when they have been doing everyone else's work fighting IS.
The furor over the decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria began late Sunday night with a poorly conceived White House statement about an ominous telephone conversation between President Trump and the Turkish president.
The results have been rapid and remain unpredictable — and, in the view of critics, amount to the abandonment of America's Syrian Kurdish allies to a massive Turkish military assault.
As allies and regional actors try to unscramble the president's conflicting statements, Erdogan's government has remained on message, insisting that the invasion is a certainty and that its target, the SDF, is an imminent threat to Turkey's national security.
Sabah, a Turkish newspaper that is close to Erdogan's government, published a report Tuesday describing how the battle might unfold. It said Turkish armed forces would wait for the full withdrawal of U.S. troops before commencing any operation. Warplanes and howitzers would pound enemy positions, and then Turkish troops would enter Syria from several points along the border, east of the Euphrates River.
Congress can't override it really. Trump isn't technically doing anything he's actually not doing anything which is the problem. And as CiC that's his right.
