3. History will show Trump's abrupt decisions of Oct 2019
Rafi ,   US   (10.21.19)
- that needlessly CRIPPLE the American strategic position in the Middle East while greatly ADVANTAGING RUSSIA AND TURKEY...

... APPROACH AND LIKELY CROSS THE LINE OF TREASON.

Why is Trump so beholden to Putin and Erdogan? Why is Trump blithely turning over major air bases to Russia ?? What deals were cut with the tyrants?

On the immediate scale, the Kurds & other regional allies including Christians pay a horrific price for Trump's treachery.

But what is the long-term impact to America's position in the region? What is the ultimate impact of the escaped ISIS terrorists?

These questions should be added to the House impeachment inquiry... the long-term implications & harm to America may be greater than the Ukraine scandal.

(Note the furious support for Trump's moves by Kremlin bots Jake, Cameron, fake Benassi, et al... and their insistence that "America has no interest" in the Mid East. Coincidence?)

6. Must give an apology.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (10.22.19)
Trump really must give an apology to the brave Kurdish People,while saying they were not in Normandy in 1944. That was a ridiculous insult. The Kurdish forces practically defeated i.s. on their own, he must realise.
7. You cannot go any LOWER, than to betray your brothers in

arms !!!!!!!!
8. Mission creep
David ,   New york   (10.23.19)
I love the Kurds,
But just think of it:
The US sent soldiers into Syria to help fight against ISIS.
Now their territory is gone and, although they will remain a terrorist organization, therr is no goal left for American soldiers there. So now, the Americans are supposed to be human shields to protect them against the Turks?
They have no reason to be there other to be killed by the Turks if they attack the Kurds?
I don’t think so
That’s what economic sanctions are for
