Turkish Incursion into Syria

[Stephanie B]

The Kurds are now in bed with Assad.

Putin should hugely like what Trump, the Kurds and Syria have done here.

Democrats should also thank Trump for this massive foreign policy blunder.

Right up there with the Clinton Benghazi blunder.

The tide turns.

The death toll among the Kurds may be in the thousands. The people, who suffered many thousands of combat casualties while fighting ISIS with our soldiers, have had to turn for help to our enemies. ISIS fighters have been released because the Kurds have other things to do. Our own troops are voicing shame at this.

I see no reason to be thankful for the human death toll and the misery that accompanies this latest example of the fact that Trump is both impulsive and dumber than a bag of hammers.

A foreign policy genius he isn't.

I guess the GOP is starting to figure that out.

What could go wrong?

We re-deploy to back up Turkey against the Kurds & Assad’s forces.

Pave paradise and put up a parking lot.

We re-deploy to back up Turkey against the Kurds & Assad’s forces.

World War III starts when warfare between Russia and Turkey escalates?

Yeah. Watch the Turks try to invoke NATO Article 5 if they get into a fight with Syria and/or Russia.

In the words of John Crichton: "We are so screwed."

[Grey]

Yeah. Watch the Turks try to invoke NATO Article 5 if they get into a fight with Syria and/or Russia.

Watch the US say hell no, ya'll don't pay your fair share so we aren't coming to help you...

Thats not how treaties work.

[Duelist]

Thats not how treaties work.

Does it work like, "We started a fight, and seem to have bitten off more than we can chew. Come help!"

[blues]

Thats not how treaties work.

I'd feel more comfortable, in current climes, to say "that's not how treaties are supposed to work".
