Topic: Trump opens the doorway for Turkey to attack, then warns them of consequences. (Read 383 times)

As a Turkish person, I have to keep up with the latest news regarding this. So far, it has to be the best proxy war (not counting the Vietnam War though) I've seen so far in history. Latest news tell that US has ordered and I quote from CNN "Trump Orders Remaining U.S. Troops Out of Northern Syria" and then about the same time "US is deconflicting with Russia to keep both sides safe" and this all happens Russia is radio silent according to the news whether it be Turkish, Syrian, Russian, US, Independent etc. I believe there are some undercurrents here between the countries, all of them.

He does not need to prove your assertions are false.

You didn't provide any proof your assertions were true, that's your job to do.

Particularly with wild politically biased assertions.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by several states and organizations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan,[33] and the European Union. However, the United Nations and countries such as Switzerland, China, India, Russia and Egypt, have not designated the PKK as a terrorist organization.

It is true. I fail to see your counter arguments proving how its false.,,,

How dare he actually deliver on his promise not to have anymore of our precious warriors shipped home in boxes after getting killed on battlefields we can't even pronounce, while refereeing conflicts that began long before America was a thing, in campaigns without any kind of coherent objective?

Conservatives like me still think of ourselves as hawks, but after hard experience we have learned to be hawkish only where America's interests are directly at stake. We're not doves. We're just not going to spill our troops' blood when we do not absolutely have to. The elite may not like our attitude, but then it's generally not the elite that ends up having to bury its sons, daughters, husbands and wives. We do.

I generally like the Kurds. I generally dislike the Turks. But they've been killing each other for a long time and no one has yet offered a sufficient reason why America should stick its troops in the crossfire between them. We hear words like "betrayal" tossed around, often by people whose track record re: honor is (charitably) lacking, but that assumes America had a say in this latest round ramping up. If the Turks are intent on invading, a firm "No" from the Oval office is not going to stop a battalion of Leopard tanks. If you want to stop them, you have to be prepared to stop them. That means war, and the president – along with millions of us – say "No thanks."
