re: I have never seen the board consensus so wrong on a topic as Syria

Your post is wrong on every point except one. You re a hopeless lefty and support the most corrupt political party in the western hemisphere and hate Donald Trump. The president has made it plain he was bringing Americans home as quickly as possible from the never ending chore of being the world's policeman. And talks have been going on between all parties in Syria. Since he took office almost 3 years ago.

Your biggest lie is the one phone call and green light thing. Turkey would pay an intolerable price for your so called "slaughter". None of this happened in a vacuum. Trump destroyed Obama's ISIS Caliphate creation and they will be even less of a factor with thousands upon thousands of Turkish troops to deal with. This is far more a Turkish problem, not an American one.

In addition Trump is the most honest and perhaps first American president to actually say what he means and mean what he says. He campaigned on bringing Americans home from endless wars. And putting Americans first. Don't like him, too bad, you socialists should have ran a better candidate and won the election in 2016. One who keeps his or her promises.
