"I just had a long and productive call with President @RT_Erdogan of Turkey. We discussed ISIS, our mutual involvement in Syria, & the slow & highly coordinated pullout of U.S. troops from the area. After many years they are coming home. We also discussed heavily expanded Trade," Trump tweeted.
Trump told Turkey's Erdogan in Dec. 14 call about Syria, 'it's all yours. We are done'

Wow, great job... idiot...
Sounds good to me. Let Turkey, Syria and the Russians spend their money and their lives dealing with ISIS.
In the meantime, Trump is protecting the Kurds by getting Saudi Arabia and the UAE to send their military to protect the Kurds in Syria and he's sending massive amounts of armament to the Kurds in Iraq. (while he's bringing OUR boys home)

Yeah, cause if the Saudis can't beat a bunch of goat herders and farmers in Yemen without causing a massive humanitarian crisis I'm sure they'll do fantastic protecting the Kurds. They might as well just hand out cardboard cut outs of American soldiers, they'd probably do more good.
Seriously? He went to the pacific and lead P-38 squadrons.Change the names of the actors and your words could have well been spoken by Charles Lindbergh at an isolationist America First rally in 1940 or 41.

So do you believe the Saudis and UAE will protect the Kurds against Turkey?
Good post; the Saudi military is stretched a bit thin at the moment: ‘press 1 for service, 2 for parts, 3 for sales; all calls are very important to us........’
The Democratic Party - the party of war and death - is hysterical at the thought of us not being perpetually in war everywhere forever. Perpetual war. Perpetual Cold War. That is what the super rich want and that's who the Democratic Party works for.

It's about money and power. The Congressional Elites want it...and the global multinationals have it because of war.
Thinking that Individual-1 is some kind of stable genius that sees reality 12 moves ahead of everyone else falls into the wishful thinking category. If that were the case, he wouldn't have a revolving-door of senior staff all professing that the guy is a ****ing moron.Just because people have no idea why Trump is doing things, doesn't mean Trump has no idea why he's doing things.
the financial houses are prolly being told to freeze the actions of people who’ve bought stock on margin.Thinking that Individual-1 is some kind of stable genius that sees reality 12 moves ahead of everyone else falls into the wishful thinking category.

As another piece of that articles says, "Normally, US presidents stand at the end of a long chain of people preparing them to make decisions. Presidents get scenarios, consequences, precedents, and so even though they often make bad decisions, we seldom see them make disorienting, head-scratchingly weird decisions. On a football pitch, we might see a wing make a hopeless cross into traffic. That's a bad decision. But we never see a wing, say, pick the ball up off the field and shower it with glitter. That's a weird decision. It's not how anyone does football.
Good process limits a president to actions that are possible and plausibly legal, with at least guesses on consequences, plans to carry them out and a gut check that we're not all throwing glitter on a football. Which brings us to this announcement from the US Treasury Department:

They've been doing that since November.

No, they've been stationed with US troops since then so they have not been protecting anyone. They were sent to support US troops. What makes you think they will stay once the US pulls out? I've seen nothing about them since Trump announced he was pulling out.
Seriously? He went to the pacific and lead P-38 squadrons.
Tell you what...give me the name changes you would make and I'll consider your contention.
