The Kurds didn’t help in WW2 or during D-Day..

[Kentonio]

The Donald said that in response to a question about the threat they’re now facing from Turkey..

He also brushed off concerns about escaping ISIS captives by saying they’ll just go to Europe..

Yeah, both these things genuinely just happened..

Oh and Turkey say Trump knew all about their planned invasion and was ok with it, but then we already all knew that deep down.

hmmm...... just briefly (and almost accidently) seeing some of the news/ comments about this,

I wondered what world power (spiritual?) was directing the political / economic decisions ?

Perhaps he's perplexed by the fetishizing of the Kurds that we see in among the US political class. Of course they don't really care about the Kurds, they just want the Kurdish militias to be able to serve as proxies of Washington to keep a US foothold in the region.

 

[JackRT]

The Kurds were one of our most effective allies in the fight against ISIS. To allow the Turks to destroy them is idiotic and unforgivable.

Trump defends abandoning the Kurds by saying they didn't help the US in WWII

And by not helping and being on our side, then that makes the Kurd's Nazis!

Nah, he’s trying to pretend they’re his enemies not his friends.

 

[SoldierOfTheKing]

They don’t need to be either.

 

[Kentonio]

They don’t need to be either.

Don’t worry, we get that you don’t care about dead Kurdish people. You’ve been extremely clear.

The US of A is notorious for throwing allies under the bus - remember the Marsh Arabs, for instance.

And people wonder why Arabs have issues with the US.

The USA has a history of using allies and betraying them. The Kurds are either naive or using the scenario to hit the US with a guilt trip. As an outside observer, I wonder why the US has been sucked into these conflicts in the first place. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria have been disasters. Has an American administration ever known anything about Middle East culture? It seems not. It's easy for the biggest army to win a war. It takes far more intelligent strategy to win the peace.

Twitter feed from FOX reporter Jennifer Griffin who has been talking to a special forces veteran on the front line in Syria..

I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.

"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."

This veteran US Special forces soldier has trained indigenous forces on multiple continents. He is on the frontlines tonight and said they are witnessing Turkish atrocities.

"Turkey is not doing what it agreed to. It's horrible," this military source on the ground told me.
"We met every single security agreement. The Kurds met every single agreement. There was NO threat to the Turks - NONE - from this side of the border." "This is insanity," the concerned US service member told me. ""I don't know what they call atrocities but they are happening."

The Kurds are not naive, they’re a persecuted people who are desperate for outside aid. It’s not as simple as just ‘they should have known better’.

Does anyone believe Trump, since he stated he would punish Turkey if they did anything "off limits."

Nope, but I guess we’re about to find out. Reports now that Turkey are shelling civilian areas.

Mr Trump has been signalling his intentions for quite some time. I'm not saying that I agree with him. I am saying that the Kurds should have a "plan B". Maybe they do, I don't know.

"History teaches us that we learn nothing from history". I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam fiasco. Obviously no administration has learned from that disaster. Neither have the Kurds.

Think financial power... Donald has businesses and properties in Turkey; pleasing Erdogan is profitable.
