he also said he was going to protect the Kurds in January of this year:That is what he said that he would do.
so...I'm not sure what your point was.U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States would get out of Syria slowly “over a period of time” and would protect the U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in the country as Washington draws down troops.

I would not be surprised Turkey exits NATO and brokers a deal with Putin.
Then there is the matter of the nukes we still have in Turkey. The situation is right out of a Harold Coyle novel named the 10 Thousand.
And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials.
Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago.
“I think this is a first — a country with U.S. nuclear weapons stationed in it literally firing artillery at US forces,” Jeffrey Lewis of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies wrote last week.
For his part, Mr. Erdogan claims nuclear ambitions of his own: Only a month ago, speaking to supporters, he said, he said he “cannot accept” rules that keep Turkey from possessing nuclear weapons of its own.

Just send in a USO tour. Then ship out the nukes in the roadie equipment. Done deal.I would, at least, think about dismantling them, removing vital trigger circuitry or their core nuclear materials...
Definitely a mess.Trump is politically and diplomatically ignorant. We have a spoiled child running the country. I am beginning to think that this will not end well --- for either Trump or the USA.
Doubt that it will hurt Turkey that much. Their main steel partner is the EU, which doesn't levee tariffs on steel from Turkey.
Lol Lt Dan would be a good cover....having been a part time roadie for several decades I think you may have come up with a GREAT idea!
tulc(suspects they could use the "Lt. Dan Band" as a cover!)
