How many actual troops were removed from Norther Syria.
From what I have heard and read it was only 50.
What was 50 US troops going to do against thousands of Turkish troops and supporting equipment?
If the phone call with Turkey was a warning to the US that they were coming period which I also heard/read somewhere. I would rather that he did pull them out rather than leave them to the Turkish troops.
I would have rather not have our people in Syria to begin with.
Would you also rather leave ally and friend behind to get slaughtered? Wait that is not what happened.. Would you sell out your friend and ally to their enemy,tuck tail and run, to let them get slaughtered? Only now to realize that they have capitulated to Russia you arch nemesis. Now you are in bad standing with Turkey, Syria, the Kurds AND Russia.How many actual troops were removed from Norther Syria.

How far are Democrats willing to go in bipartisan agreement with Republicans who are against the U.S. troop withdrawal? Would the Dems go for big increases in military spending if it hurt social programs in order to fight against ISIS?
Eh you'll probably tell me it's too big of a stretch and doesn't even fit in the thread or something like that. Go ahead just get it over with.
And what if ISIS has a significant increase in the Philippines for example? Have several divisions of U.S. troops shipped there? My point being this could continue on and on and with non ISIS Arab terrorist groups. And the Dems are going to support sending large numbers of troops for every single one? Come on you know some of them will be selective just like Repubs are selective as to which wars they support. And don't try saying saying sending a limited number of troops will work. Look what happened in Iraq in 2003 and years after because of that.
In a sense i'm saying as a few have already said in the first few pages that it's all messed up. Just offering some reasons as to why not that they're anything new.
Pence is giving a presser. Claims there has been a cease fire agreement. More to come...
So basically we’ve agreed to completely abandon the Kurds and the Kurds now must withdraw. To where exactly?
Should be the same place as the Cuban ex-patriots.So basically we’ve agreed to completely abandon the Kurds and the Kurds now must withdraw. To where exactly?
Trump claims victory at presser. He planned this all to happen. Thanks stable genius. How could we survive without you starting fires and putting them out.
Turkey, is now claiming there is no cease fire, just a pause. Ha ha hah hah.even for Trump that chopper talk session was INSANE.
Apparently it will START in 5 days. LOL.
Erdogan will have wiped them out by then. Also where the fuck are they going to evacuate too?
Edit: looks like it will last 5 days instead but the second question remains and the odds that Erdogan will really stop seem slim
That's a lot of dead Kurds to execute his sham.Nah. It's pretty much been a sham invasion, considering Turkey's military might. They're second only to the US within Nato. They could easily blitzkreig the Kurds into oblivion. Instead, Erdogan put lightly armed anti-Assad Syrian exiles up front with some air & artillery support. It's like they're not even trying.
Meanwhile, Assad's forces have rushed into the gap left behind by our withdrawal. It's called winning.
What, his saying that this, his day of victory, was a "GREAT day for CIVILIZATION!"even for Trump that chopper talk session was INSANE.
No ceasefire at all but more importantly no cessation at all unless the US meets Turkey's demands.Pence is giving a presser. Claims there has been a cease fire agreement. More to come...
And now it's in writing..What, his saying that this, his day of victory, was a "GREAT day for CIVILIZATION!"
