Turkish strikes on Kurdish areas in Syria have already begun.
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
The value of an American promise is basically nothing now.
Sadly, our track record for following through with people in the Middle East that have proffered us assistance, from fighters to translators and drivers, has been historically abysmal.
Syrian Kurds have left a huge amount of blood in those sands to help in the routing of ISIS, thousands upon thousands of lives in the democratic force, and we're leaving them to die.

Absolutely heart breaking. The Kurds don't deserve this. I cannot blame them at all now if they hate us. We are so the bad guys.
It would be hard for anyone to match the exact degree of wisdom that Donald J. Trump holds.
Having a lobotomy would probably be a good first step
They couldn't, they had to strike while the iron was hot, before Trump changed his mind again like earlier this year.
It's brown people dying. Why would Republican voters care about that?
Question - why is turkey invested in kurds not in Turkey? I thought their issue was kurds wanting their own state.
Because the Kurdish state crosses not insignificantly into Turkish land, because a large portion of Turkeys population is Kurdish. And so Turkey considers the entire Kurdish state a threat.
That and the conflicts between Turkey and Kurdish groups have a death toll of around 40,000 so it's not some minor disagreement.
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.
Well, we know where the next generation of terrorists are coming from in 10-20 years. :) Thanks US.
What he considers off limits would be the Turkish government supporting the Kurds.
To do what? Trump is CiC, he makes the call here, as sad as that is.
Let's be honest, most Americans would gut their neighbors if it got them ahead. Of course they don't care about foreign allies.
damn, imagine yourself fighting the ISIS for years and this is the thanks you get
probably going to release a strongly worded statement in a few weeks
No, you see, they hate us because of our freedom.

GOP have started legislating for their sanctions, and to stop all arms sales to Turkey then... right?
Right?..
Right?..
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.
Yep
The terror strikes coming in our near future aren't going to ask if you voted in 2016 before detonation.
Ya know, trump has insured in less than 4 years that if we are ever attacked, no allies are going to come to our aid.
Chilling.
It is absurd for the YPG but the PKK *is* a terrorist organization.
yes actively telling our military not to interfere. Thats wrong. Those people are dying cause of this action.
fuck his right!!! those are innocent people
