The Turks and the Syrians, both acting more or less in unison, launched an attack against the Kurds just about 24 hours after Trump threw the Kurds under the bus. The Kurds have requested air support assistance from their used-to-be allies, us. They were told to kick rocks.
We guaranteed the territorial integrity of the Ukraine when they gave up the nukes they had after the break-up of the old USSR. Russia annexed the Crimea and have more or less occupied a large swath of the Ukraine. We did nothing. Now the Kurds (who helped us big time in that part of the world) are being turned into live targets. We are, thus far, doing nothing.
Is ANYBODY going to trust our word on anything in the near future? I sure as hell wouldn't. I don't particularly want us to continue to be the world's police force, but our word should be good for something.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is Trump's betrayal of our allies, the Kurds. And adding insult to injury, Trump invites Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the White House in retaliation for the flack he's been getting from not only Democrats, but Republicans too. Lindsey Graham called Trump's decision “a stain on America's honor.”
It appears that the reports of Trump giving Erdogan the 'green light' to attack the Kurds are true. Betraual of the Kurds, who fought alongside us for four years against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and shed blood that would otherwise have been shed by American soldiers, is a new low ... it's beneath low!
This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I will not vote for president in the 2020 election. The Democratic candidates are absolutely unacceptable to me. Three years ago, I held my nose when I voted against Hillary. Next year, I won't have to hold my nose because I'm not voting for Trump.
