CNN reporter: Situation in Syria deteriorates as Trump withdraws remaining troops

President Donald Trump is ordering the remaining US forces out of northern Syria, Defense Secretary Mark Esper says, a development that has paralyzed the fight against ISIS and ceded US and Kurdish battlefield gains to Moscow and Damascus.

The withdrawal order comes as Turkish forces are pushing further south into Syria. Last week, the country launched its long-threatened incursion into the country after Trump ordered a small contingent of about 50 US troops to be pulled back from the border area amid a belief that a Turkish incursion was imminent.

  1. The trolls are so sad at this point I see no genuine arguments or coherent explanations. Only tired lines. The President is cartoonishly incompetent, corrupt, and incapable of appropriate use of power.

    What is wrong with us…

    1. The POTUS is ending the wars started by Bush and Obama.
      Why do you like war? Why do you do whatever CNN tells you to do?

    2. @andrew30 “peace-keeping” involves going to war, you fuckwit!

      Just because you repackage WAR euphemistically and call it peace-keeping, doesn’t mean it’s not war.

      You should be ashamed of yourself for even trying to be that sneaky.

  2. Just what did he think was going to happen🤦🏽‍♂️😤 this mofo needs to go!!!!

    He is the Antichrist!

    1. @Livestream Fail Wrong. If Trump really wanted peace he wouldn’t keep siding with heartless dictators, trashing Americans, & attracting brainless swamp trolls like you to carry out his insane agenda!

    2. He absolutely is. Brother James Key has made some excellent videos on this. He can back with scripture that Herr Drumpf is indeed the Foul One.

      Good joke fun fact the Syrian government and the kurds just reached an agreement thanks to this pullout and our Troops are safely coming home like promised #TRUMP2020

    1. Go over as a mercenary and help the kurds then. Stop advocating for the u.s. to send our kids and fight in the middle east, warmonger psycho.

    2. @Helen Righteousness Go over as a mercenary and help the kurds then. Stop advocating for the u.s. to send our kids and fight in the middle east, warmonger psycho.

    1. @Putins Cat we went to vietnam, so do you think we ahould have stayed there until all of our young men were killed?

      You’re a warmongering psycho!

      Why don’t you go over as a mercenary and help the kurds if you think we should be there?
      Oh, I see, you’re a coward that would rather see the u.s. send young soldiers act as world police and fight for your ideas while you live in the comfort of your own home.

      You’re the worst kind of human.

  3. RATIONAL PERSON: “I’d like to see the Trump administration defend THIS latest atrocity.”
    Trump Administration: “Hold my beer…”

    1. RATIONAL PERSON: TRUMP is withdrawing us from POINTLESS WARS!
      LIBERALS (& FAAGGETS): WHAT! ORANGE MAN BAD!

    2. Gary Smith yeah Democrat’s don’t want to lose an ally and enable the genocide of the Kurds. Pshhhh morons right?

    1. Reagan helped Saddam gas 100’s of thousands of Kurds and funded drug cartels in South America+Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan, Bush had the U.S army bomb 10’s of thousands of retreating Iraqi conscripts and invade 3 sovereign countries, Clinton put U.N sanctions on Iraq that starved 3 million children and bombed Yugoslavia with depleted uranium thus poisoning Serbian land for generations, Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan under false pretense, Obama destroyed Libya which was developing and unifying Africa before NATO bombed it into the stone age and made it the worlds #1 slavery nation.

      American Presidents are all psychopaths or sociopaths who exist to serve the military and CIA

    2. @john smith (WHERE WAS YOUR FAKE OUTRAGE WHEN OBAMA ABANDONED CHRISTIANS GETTING SLAUGHTERED IN THE MIDDLE EAST?)

      Trump funds Saudi Arabia which is the #1 Islamic extremist supporter in the world and Trump was supporting the YPG who are athiests that destroy churches and oppress Syrian Christians. Ba’athist Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran all defend and tolerate Christians, and Trump wants them destroyed.

      Obama was letting the CIA support ISIS/Al-Qaeda in hopes that those groups would attack Iran and topple the Syrian government, Christians were caught in the crossfire of that plan. No U.S President cares about religion, they tell you they do so they can trick your small mind into wanting to vote for them.

  4. Trump: we need to bring our troops home from the middle East. Trump: Saudi Arabia needs us. We must send them troops. WTH?

  5. She said: “This benefits Russia in a big way.” Well of course. Day after day, Trump is looking like the Manchurian candidate Putin was hoping for to do his biddings in a subtle way and from the white house itself.

    1. Turkey is the only secular muslim country in ME and hosting 4 million refugees for 7 years for the Rest of the World comfort, on the top of that being attacked from southern borders and by PKK . Now fed up with EUs reckless attitude and take the control in his hands.

    1. @Charles Edward People were saying Obama was a failed administration long before Trump, pal. Nobody’s buying your leftist bullshit anymore.

    2. @stephen glover The only crafters here are you leftist trash. Your communist tactic of blaming your enemies for that which you are guilty of doesn’t work anymore.

    3. @Charles Edward What about him? Trump trying to get the poor kids out of the never ending middle east war. Jr like his dad is and was already rich. Biden using us as his muscle for Hunters gain is totally wrong and when do we get our cut of the billions for our service in the Biden caper? I feel so used!

  6. Albert Einstein once said…
    “The world is a dangerous to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”
