Do you think Turkey has a right to decide its own foreign policy? They have over 5 million refugees, as well as their own “boarder crisis.” They are also a friend of the United States.

When are we EVER going to fully pull out of Syria if not right now?

ISIS territory is 100% defeated.

Do we owe our staunchest ally in Iraq and the fight against isis some basic courtesies, maybe advance notice to prepare for an invasion considering they lowered their defenses against there Turkish enemy based on our promises? Are we going to exhibit at least an ounce of honor?

You’re not a serious person, you’re just a trump supplicant that thinks saying “nato” is an elixir for a lack of honor.

How about I get you to fight my enemy and you say no man I can’t turn my back on my enemy. I then tell you don’t worry, I got your back, you turn to fight my enemy and I just walk away. Cool.

Not trying to dim your opinions.

Let’s give the Kurds a chance to get ready, then pull out. Remember, they dismantled their Turkish defenses to fight our enemy. We don’t have to stay, but we, at the very least, owe them time to prepare. I would consider that to be most obvious, basic level of honor one would owe a 20+ year ally. A real ally that spilled blood with and for you and not some ally on paper.

"Your" a douche that won't answer a simple question.

If you wanted to discuss this you'd answer. Instead you just stick to tired barbs. Your barbs are meaningless. Idgaf about your opinion of me.

Now, will you answer the question or just deflect to some boring version of Trumpanzee?

So you’ve established you’re upset. But I’m asking if you think Turkey, also a friend of the United States, has a right to make decisions as well?

Maybe Trump pulled and old bait and switch to see who would bite? They all went batshit over this for some reason.

If he pissed off that many Dems and Rinos, I know it must be right decision.

Trump has been warning the Kurds he wanted to pull out since he first became president. He’s been arming and training the hell out of them since then also. They just got a big shipment of weapons the other day.

You will never make a legitimate argument. You will continue to demand an answer to a stupid rhetorical question you posed in response to my post where I laid out the facts of our promises to our ally that fought and died with us and for us. A real ally and not some paper ally that we constantly had to bribe to keep from fricking shite up for us over there.

Wait. Did the Kurds become part of NATO or something when I wasn't looking?...

I haven’t posted anything that could be interpreted as saying they can’t make some independent decision. I don’t see how that negates our obligations or absolves us for acting dishonorably.
