For those of you who haven't seen it on the news, our NATO "ally" Turkey, ruled by their dictator Erdogan, has invaded northeast Syria in an effort to slaughter the Kurds, our allies who have sacrificed over 11,000 troops in our fight against ISIS over the past five years. Turkey has been covertly supporting ISIS for years, and this invasion will likely give ISIS a chance to regroup. This is easily the biggest story of 2019, but you don't hear much about it due to the distortion of social media. It is such a shame because Turkey used to be a secular country that was the bridge between east and west, now they are just a hotbed for jihadis.

Yeah. Stupid, stupid move by us. The Kurds have been our biggest ally against ISIS and we left them to be slaughtered.

The CIA has been covertly funding and training ISIS Rebels in an effort to enact regime change in Syria for over a decade. FOH with your bullshite.

Turkey and Russia are playing Trump like a fiddle

Turkey uses their NATO status to their advantage. Russia gives them sweetheart deals to entice them out of the alliance. While the US kowtows to them in an effort to keep Turkey

Didn't see one on here, this issue should transcend politics. Poliboard is overloaded with people who blindly support Trump no matter the issue. This is an issue where Trump has clearly made the wrong choice, and people of conscience have to speak up. To be clear, I think Trump's heart is in the right place (ending endless wars and getting our troops home), but there are more strategic ways that a withdrawal in Syria could have been handled without leaving our Kurdish allies betrayed and with less than two days to prepare for a full on invasion.

It's amusing how arrogant and narcissistic some people are, to think they know more than all the military intel, advisors and cabinet members the President has.

People look through a microscope and decide they know what's going on in the world.
