1. INVADING AND KILLING
Robert ,   Israel   (10.17.19)
Invading, killing and using excessive force; something Erdogan in particular and Turks in general know well how to do. Just remember recent and no so recent Turkish history.
2. numbers: there r STILL 75,000 US Troops in Middle East
(10.17.19)
but hey POTUS 45 removed 100 troops from Syria and let down the Kurdish people.
So truly please do share who is the fool in this story?
3. no name at #2: actual numbers by mid-east country see below

Following is a list of current numbers of US Troops in the Middle East
Bahrain: 7.000
Iraq: 5,200
Jordan: 2,800
Kuwait: 13,000
Oman: 300
Saudi Arabia: 500 (with another 500 on the way)
Syria: 1,900 (originally 2000 but Trump removed troops from Northern Syria)
United Arab Emirates: 5,000
Turkey: actual number of US troops not available but given that Turkey and USA are both NATO members there are US bases in Turkey.

Total number of known US Troops in the Middle East, excluding Turkey, currently stands at 48,000 once additional US Troops land in Saudi Arabia that number increases to 48,000

Additionally there are currently 14,000 troops in Afghanistan.
Bringing the entire regional total to 62,000 troops in the region. This figure excludes US presence in Turkey and excludes US undercover and US Special Ops troop figures.

Nonetheless no name at #2...I will answer your question. It sure does seem that the fool in this story is the 45th President of the United States!
4. Donald Trump's a public EMBARRASSMENT to America!
