What a deplorable way to treat an ally that has done the fighting on your behalf.

 

absolutely disgraceful.

 

With these people, there's no such thing as friend, ally...it keeps changing depending on

which way the wind is blowing. Look at Bin Laden, received arms and training from US

to fight Russians in Afghanistan....next thing you now....

Trump is simply playing their game, letting them know that he can do it too...

The Kurds have been ( are still ) , Americas allies . They did a great job fighting IS .

That is how Trump rewards them ...?

Erdogan is an autocratic leader who wants to erase them all , he said that before and he is tying to do that now .

Trump just let him do that ... I remember Trump said that he will ' destroy ' Turkey's economy if the Kurds are attacked ...

So , now is the time to do that .

But , as usual , it is all bla bla only ... if you believe this guy , you are lost , there is not a grain of honor in him , his actions contradict what he was saying before ,

Trump is confused and should be impeached . The sooner , the better .

You better do some search and find out who the America's allie (Syrian Democratic Forces fomerly called YPG and it's Syrian wing of PKK terrorist organisation) America is allie with terrorist organisation? Yes it is .And you need to learn that PKK-YPG- SDF which is all three are the same, carrying terrorist action to Turkey since 1983 and they killed more than 40000 Turkish civillians. Turkey has nothing to do with Kurds. There are 20 million Kurds living in Turkey as Turkish citizens and they have no problems. I bet you have no idea about those terrorists crossing Turkish border at night, killing people and going back to Irak and Syria. Before questioning the actions you better read,search and learn. By the way did you know that US goverment has given to those terrorists 70000 full of semi trucks weapons just in last 7 months? This is just last seven months. So you figure it out how many thousands of truck loads last few years. And these are all documented. I bet you never watch US senate hearings about the US aid to Kurdish terrorist group.

ISIS received massive support from Turkey till they became so obnoxious to the West that the Turks had to pretend they weren't involved.

A pretence which has now been debunked, I think.

I think Erdogan told him 'we're going in whether your people are there or not', and Trump simply gave in.

Trump tower in Turkey is more important to him than the live of the Kurds who fought with the USA.

Keep it classy, Mr. Trump:

Trump mocks betrayed Kurds facing massacres: ‘They have a lot of sand to play with’

He added that the Kurds are “not angels," even though the Kurdish forces were the primary American ally in the battle against ISIS and al Qaeda militants.

Trump also repeated a Turkish talking point when he asserted that a Kurdish political party in Turkey are terrorists.

They are “more of a terrorist threat, in many ways, than ISIS,” Trump said, without elaborating.
