5. Europe" hypocritical condemnation.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (10.18.19)
Europe, or the EU, or the UK, France and Germany did nothing to help the Kurds. They have no right to speak or condem other countries The Uk, France and Germany are too busy to play the boss over/to command the smaller countries, also in several organizations and bodies, for their own selfish interests. I really despise the policy of these countries because of those reasons.and of course for the policy of the 5 in the UN Insecurity Council, of which I also wrote earlier. It is all committing crimes,since 1945,when Italy,Germany and Japan were defeated.I have no respect,understanding and trust for it. I have respect to a certain level of my own country and I have respect for Israel and the Kurdish People.
6. European Hypocrites
YHD ,   Kfar Saba   (10.18.19)
The great do-nothing continent.
7. History is fluid. Always was/will be. Regimes will go on
(10.18.19)
trying to juggle for more power/land/influence.
This inane notion of common conscience on the part of "Europe" is a BS notion, so stop using it in the presence of adult individuals!
"Europe" is no more "hypocritical" than it always has been, same goes for the US.
It's all "good" folks.
Learn how to defend your countries & be smart & cunning....
That's the only lesson life teaches us.
8. "Shameful" in politics, is only when you lose. Otherwise:
(10.18.19)
this moralizing is for small children & naive Scandinavians....
9. Trump is right and correct.
jochair thijssen ,   kfar saba israel   (10.18.19)
cheap to blame Trump, Not all Arab struggles are the sake of the usa.
Better to stay out of it.
Mostly Erdogan is to blame, not Trump.
Then there is the perennial danger formed by IS.
That too must be confined, but preferably without loss of American lifes/
10. Factual basic errors in article
Avi L.   (10.20.19)
First, european special troops where in Syria along with the US, french, british at least and a few got killed by the islamic state

Second, as Mr Plocker should know by now Turkey is a member of NATO, so NATO ordering action against one of its member sounds quite "strange", since it is a defensive alliance. Turkey attacked a third party, so it doesn't fall into any defence clause.
BTW the US are still members of NATO, so this question should be asked to Donald himself

Third, to compare US and any european armed forces is laughable

Finally, Donald is a blackmailable liability sitting at the center of the Free World

Once more let's thank again bibi for having contributed to bring this moron to power
