MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Wednesday to coordinate their moves in Syria as their governments bargain over zones of influence in the war-torn country.

The leaders share strong opposition to the U.S. military presence in Syria, seeing it as an obstacle to their clout in the country. The Kremlin meeting marked their first encounter since U.S. President Donald Trump announced the pullout of American troops in a Dec. 19 tweet.
======================================================
These guys are licking their chops over Syria. Since Trump followed his master's orders & called for a pullout of our troops from Syria, Erdogan & Putin have been scheming as to how they are going to betray the Kurds & swallow up this war-torn country.

They can have the country, but Trump won't allow them to have the Kurds.

However, they should have invited Iran to their meeting. Iran will kick both their asses if they don't get a piece of Syria.

Fixed that for ya :thumbs: Trump could care less about our Kurdish allies. That's why Mattis resigned as Defense Secretary.

I didn't believe there was a pee tape.

There must be a pee tape (or worse).
