U.S. Allies In Syria Find Protection In The Arms Of An Enemy, U.S. Abandons Them | Deadline | MSNBC
Terrible! You don’t leave an allied force on the battlefield.
@Allen WilsonTypical Russian comment.

Ryan 8191 what a pile of bullshite you just posted. What a tool. Perfect example of how our education system has failed. SMH
ElSmusso : How about leaving our NUKES in Turkey? The same Nukes that the Russians have been trying to get out of there since the Cuban Missile Crisis! I bet Russia never DREAMT they’d end up OWNING THEM? . . . This is turning into an international crisis . . .
It’s not in our National interests to abandon an ally and it is not in our national interests to abandon the fight against ISIS
45th U.S. President Trump John 8:44 the Wicked Evangelical Anti Christ Rev 13:1.
No National Security process anymore. Great, Trumpists. So anti-American.
This is an illegal war that we shouldn’t be in. We should never have even stepped one foot into Syria, We should have let Russia and Assad deal with Isis. This whole war would have been over in 2015 and Syria would have been united if Obama didn’t put 200 troops in harms way to use as pawns to deny Syrian reunification. There was a time when democrats were the anti war party, but what Trump is doing in Syria right now is the WHOLE REASON I VOTED FOR HIM!!! TO STOP ILLEGAL WARS!!!
@scarab088 Cue said nothing to indicate s/he is for endless &/or illegal wars. One can lament an abruptly announced & potentially dangerous & costly troop withdrawal without being pro-war or anti-Trump.
Trump eschewed the counsel & combined expertise of professional soldiers & specialists. His confidence in his great unmatched wisdom & very big brain may well cost lives.
@rrbaggett7 I am not pro Trump but I am against the U.S violating International law and leaving the human Rights Council to do it. You do realize we have homeless and poor hear right we have 55,000 Americans dying every year cause they can’t pay medical bills, just ridiculous find the money to help the Kurds and get back to me then I’ll see about how we can help bring peace and possibly a Kurdistan state. Until then zippo please.
@rrbaggett7 : He’s already cost the lives of many Kurds, murdered by the Arab Militia supported by Turkey. Reporters have seen helpless, tied up, Kurds being shot.
WOW! Who could have guessed America’s enemies would step in to embrace allies discarded by the U.S. Keep up the good work, Trump. America’s enemies grow by the day and so does it’s inevitable end.
I would hazard a guess this is exactly to plan for the dotards boss Putin, We leave one of our best allies in the region who fought with and for us against ISIS high and dry for Russia and Syria to swoop in and save them from a so called NATO ally Turkey……………smfh
Unlike Trump the Green Berets who fought in Syria don’t believe in betraying their allies who defended America’s interests for years. I salute our brave troops for having class 🇺🇸
Draft-dodger is even more of a coward than originally thought
Yes are white Christian men need to risk their lives for are holy enemies
Alex P : America has nukes in Turkey, that the Russians have been trying to get out of there, since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I bet they never DREAMT they would have ended up, OWNING them?
the chosen one is still loved by evangelicals who don’t believe in god only money. VOTE BLUE SAVE OUR REPUBLIC
Ralph Colerick : Are you old enough to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? I’m sure you’ve read about it? One of the sticking points was those Nukes in Turkey. The Russians have wanted them gone, since then; the early 1960’s. Now, they’re going to end up OWNING them. Trump has killed us . . .
Evangelicals have never believed in God
Also, think about this, if we have a major war, Trump could declare Martial Law (at some point), and become the king dictator that he wants to be. That would save him from being ousted through impeachment and trial.
ISIS employee of the month goes to……drum roll….. Donald Trump
Russia’s Employee of the Last Three YEARS, too! They’ve wanted our nukes out of Turkey since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Now they get to OWN THEM??? . . . We’ve been completely BETRAYED!
There is only one execution justified by all of this..
#Presiduncy
The Articles of Impeachment should include *GROSS NEGLIGENCE* for his handling of the Kurds, Tarrifs, etc.
You are much too kind. The Article should cite DELIBERATE CRUELTY.

@President of the Virgin Islands: Thanks!!! 👍
Looks like it’s not just allies he’s turned on….. he’s now f#$&ed his own troops
Alan kirby : I can’t believe they have to ASK why Trump didn’t get his people in on it? Because he KNEW what they’d say, maybe? And, he can’t handle conflict? Which is why he hires his firing done? They would have told him he was betraying America . . .
Trump has never served in the military and yet he can now add ‘war criminal’ to his resume.
trump just planted the seed of hate into these Kurds children and grandchildren, and rightly so. ISIS thank you-trump from the bottom of their hearts for these new recruits!
The Kurds, along with our other allies, are finding out what contractors, vendors, American banks, Michael Cohen, coal miners, Trump’s ex-cabinet members, and his ex-wives already know, Trump cannot be trusted.
Where are the answers to these questions and why isn’t trump being questioned???? What happened to protocol???
What Traitor Trump has done to the Kurds, and to America’s reputation is beyond reprehensible. What’s happening now to the Kurds is nothing compared to how bad things are going to get in the next coming weeks and months. A lot of innocent men women and children are going to die, because as always, Trump has put his own financial interests above all things. He is truly a national disgrace and an international pariah. This is a stain on America’s conscience. I can’t say that it’s a stain on Trump’s conscience, because he doesn’t have one.
Trump through everybody under the bus. America is next
He’s already done that.
@Cocoa Liveson ikr
Threw, not through.
@Williamus Rex Am I getting graded?
Sounds like somebody called Trump for a payback favor.
Trump should be convicted for this crime against our allies. Treason.
Pompeo wants to fulfil his ‘end times’ fairytale.
