Chaos In Syria, DC After President Donald Trump Pulls U.S. Troops | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
“Benghazi 2.0” Who could have seen this coming? Trump hotel managers in Turkey and pappy Putin.
I didn’t sign up and risk my life defending America to defend a traitor. Nearly everyone I served with has stated the same.
Everyone I trained with, everyone I grew up with, everyone I signed up with…..agree. Trump is by far the worst representation of America to date. The worst representation to the average American.
As a cranky ole Vet,
Trump is making me fret!
I swore an Oath,
and the 🦧 oaf,
is shredding the objects of it.
@Jeremy Backup thank you for your service!
@Jeremy Backup Lies
Orange Fatty got a deal,
with the Turkish “big wheel”,
that betrayed the Kurds,
and fed our cred to the birds,
then dashed off for a “Happy Meal”.
@Cat Bill
Y? Pray tell.
Kick it dude.
Lololol. Omg…. I sound like an evil fluff
ReAlly donald? Gonna betray the Peshmerga? We won’t have any allies left, republicans better get control of your boi, he’s acting a fool. He’s doing damage to allied relations that could take years to fix.
@Tomandtob hmmm tRump… I usually keep the t lower case too… the R though….emphasis on the rump…. I might use this.
Trump has his hotel in Turkey not in Kurdistan so you know whom he will support.
@jhg /finger on nose…/whisper follow the money
I would think twice before betraying the Kurds, Trump. You might just wake up dead from a few stab wounds one of these days…or perhaps later, when you’re out of the White House…the Kurds have a long memory and they know how to wait.
I mean, everyone always said the US would stab the Kurds in the back. Trump signalling it for a second is a great way of destroying what is left of US reputation. We always knew no one could rely on the US, this just gives everyone a reason to refuse their next coalition call.
WHY IS HE STILL PRESIDENT? HE IS DESTROYING ANY CREDIBILITY WE MAY HAVE HAD> HE”S OFF HIS ROCKER> WHAT DOES THE GOP GET FROM THIS?
@J Russ WEALTHY
Luiz Alex Phoenix
– right, because what one unstable president does HAS TO BE HONORED FOREVER!! You made a VERY ignorant comment. The US reputation, minus tRump is better than the reputation of 99% of the countries. The US is ALWAYS the first place any country turns to when it is in trouble and, minus tRump, we have always responded. The United States has lost more of its young men and women in OTHER COUNTRIES WARS than any other nation.
@J Russ – he is still president because impeachment is a slow process.
Trump’s word (therefore Americas) is worthless…. you’re like Rats….leaving the sinking ship…..again!!!
Good luck……finding Allies in the future!
Brian Richner ok, great; you know what happened 75 years ago. Meanwhile, Trump has managed in the 3 years he has been bulldozing American goodwill in the eyes of the rest of the world to destroy the international mindset that the US can be counted on when the s*** hits the fan. NATO became a thing because of the efforts of MANY countries; all but one of them being NOT AMERICAN. Once again, in the past 3 years Pinocchio (I mean Trump); working for his puppet master Gepetto (I mean Putin) has done everything in his power to destroy belief in NATO and convince the other members of said org that the US will no longer be a responsible member!
@Tomandtob The truth hurts!!!!
I have absolutely no defense for your point. Our reputation has indeed been blighted around the world, after the wrecking ball that is tRump. He had us bail on the Paris Accord, he destroyed the incredible nuclear deal we had with Iran and insulted our allies left and right, while propping up dictators with rewards and praises. And now this! I’m just afraid it will take the bodies of hundreds, perhaps thousands of dead Kurds, before the Republican Party will finally grow a spine and deal with him.
The next humanitarian crisis is being created by the trump administration
@ruth depew – you forgot that all of that benefits Putin.
@Dave Ponsford – apparently, he can green light it, he shouldn’t green light it but since when has tRump done ANYTHING honorable??
@Tomandtob I was just addressing the humanitarian crisis elements not the political elements. Politically this benefits at least Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Syria.
Humanitarian crisis was already there tnx to western powers using terrorists to fight terrorists
He is already guilty of human right violations at the southern border.
Why not add war criminal…. he’s trying to get in the MOST exclusive prisons.
@Tomandtob once u break the law and go into custody u can’t choose where you sleep or anything it’s what they say don’t break the law if they want to seek asylum they have to the legal way.
I agree with you not mention of that what is freightnig they can’t unite the children because no one has record of those children if they could shoot Kennedy’s why not this man claiming he is chosen one illelerate ignorant and mentally insane.Wtf.
@Donna Martins he’s insane but u just wished death on someone cuz u dont agree with their veiws
Vlad knows the clock is ticking, time to milk it for all its worth,
“It’s a free shot for GOP Senators to criticize Trump for undermining years of joint work in Syria and do nothing to stop it.
Maga monsters condemning their allies. …To death
donald and his supporters are a daily HORROR
may there be karma
You’re next… DemocRat Vermin ! Free “education” for all of you… IN CAMPS !
Doing a solid for his boss Putin!
Also protecting his assets in Turkey 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Rohanda Mclaurin
– his assets in Turkey were not in need of protection until be betrayed the Kurds.
@K0gashuk0. . . . Russia backs Assad in all things Kurdish.
trump is only interested in pleasing putin and putin is very happy
Since when can the president make a move without Congress?
I think once us troops are involved the commander and chief has control of what they are doing in said engagement.
We need to ammend these laws . We see what flaws are in our laws. No rhyme intended. This is a major wake up call for all Americans.
Ask the guy who sent the military to Syria without approval from congress.
@Rose Geaber No illegally sending the military to Syria should’ve been the wake up call.
McConnell is hiding inside his shell, hoping it will all blow over by the time he returns.
Obama has blood on his hands for sending troops to Syria in the first place.
Which it won’t.
Erdogan must have agreed to “investigate” the Bidens.
@Frank Winkhorst yea – get the tape of the phone call Trump had with him and I bet the hotel is mentioned.
Probably promised to up business of Trump tower in Turkey.
@jhg that or threatened to fly a few planes into them.
🤣🤣
Who will trust the US w their lives and freedom after this?
@Koria Borein The instability and terrorism within the middle east has worsen because of the U.S. Do your research, ISIS and other terrorist groups stemmed from the actions of U.S. involvement in the middle east.
The Kurds fought along the U.S. to destroy ISIS. They even found Sadam for the U.S. I am in the military and I would go overseas and proudly fight along side with them. I rather bring the fight to the enemy then to have it on our soil.
The incursions on U.S. soil has been minimal, thus preserving more life and infrastructure then a country that is an active war zone. Look at what happened to the European countries during WW 1&2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
@YouTube User Please. The Middle East will never be peaceful, because the people there are not peaceful. It’s been the same, even before the United States was a thing.
None should expect for us citizens. These turds are not our kids they are not our problem
@Everblue Freediving those guys the Kurds are literally suicidally fighting turkey. They can and should put down their weapons and submit to the authority it’s easy. And these middle Eastern fighters will never change. They can’t get normal jobs or contribute to society. They are fighters. So they are going to fight until they are no more
America is having its own battle against Trump, one of the most corrupt person in power in the entire world.
REMEMBER HELSINKI!
There’s a toddler in The White House!!!
The chaos beginns as the us put his feeds on syrian terretory.

@Kwum aix it hurts extra when some like Mandela say something like that 😁
What Syria thinks about all of this ?
@bindongo Dembele Syria was a Ally?!
@Michael Petrovich The truth only hurts the euro illegalss👍😀
