Avi L.   (10.11.19)
5. I'm not so sure
Dov ben David ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.19)
Let's not rush into conclusions.
President Trump has put limitations on Erdogan.
I believe that his strategy is to let Erdogan build a corridor so that he can rid of 3.6 million refugees.
I favor president Trump but certainly also my brothers and sisters that are Kurds
6. Are big-time politics EVER about naive concepts like "friend
(10.11.19)
ship & loyalty" ?!
7. Obama betrayed Kurds in Syria too, allowing ISIS creation
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (10.11.19)
8. We play patron & shield for enough ME players as it is
Cameron   (10.12.19)
Trump will not expand that role by yet further entangling the US in the middle of this never-ending duel between the Kurds & Turks.

Wisely he begins to reduce our troops & role in Syria toward an eventual total exit.

Careful and wary stepping along.
9. One more promise kept.
DSM ,   USA   (10.12.19)
Trump made a campaign pledge to remove American troops from harms way. No American serviceman should die or be disabled defending the kurds. Having said that, I do believe Trump should put economic sanctions on Turkey.
10. Think this is bad? Wait til Dems get back in.
Ghost Poops ,   In the House   (10.12.19)
You ain't seen nothing yet!

11. trump has an election to consider
zionist forever   (10.13.19)
What Trump has done might be immoral but lest not forget he has an election to fight and the average American will not care and probably does not even understand the conflict properly and if he is bringing troops home then that will go down well with voters.
Trump does not need to worry about what the rest of the world thinks because he is President of the United States and even if you hate him everybody has to deal with him and back home most people will probably like what he is doing.

It would be in the interest of Israel if it helped the Kurds by possibly providing them with some small arms, APCS and possibly limited intelligence.
We are not exactly best friends with Turkey so nothing to lose there, the western world will approve and Kurds throughout the region will see Israel as a friend and be willing to help.
12. Tax returns needed!
N ,   N   (10.12.19)
Congress most know about the financial situation of Trump. His compliant behavior towards autocratic rulers like Erdogan, Bin Salman and Putin might be caused by his dependence on their cash or silence.
Why has no tax clerk the courage to go forward and tell Congress? Seems to be the only secret that wasn't leaked from this Dark House of Betrayal.
13. Eleven Fake Benassi Posts, I'm Flattered, Send Money
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (10.14.19)
Greater Israel in Kurd Syria on the Euphrates is not going to Happen, from the Nile to the Euphrates Jew land theft is the Far Right Wing Jew Dream.

Not Gonna Happen
14. #1-3: fake Benassi tries to deflect blame TRUMP's mendacity
Rafi ,   US   (10.14.19)
15. Trump has NO UNDERSTANDING of politics, he is just a low
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.16.19)
real estate CROOK, a COWARD & CLOWN, his "deal of the century" would include the creation of a terrorist state on Israels soil, propped up by billions of dollars. This man is a GRAVE danger to Israel...WAKE UP FINALLY !!!!!!!!!
16. The betrayal of the Kurds to Erdogan comes after the
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.16.19)
betrayal of Saudi Arabia to Iran and after the betrayal of America, when Trump let the mullahs shoot down the drone and then fired John Bolton.
Trump is UNFIT and ***UNWORTHY*** to be Americas President !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
