Don’t try to tell Americans they have to keep our sons and daughters in Syria for our “national security” but 50k strangers can waltz across our border every month and that is just fine.
You can’t sell that shit to anyone.
That connection might look valid for some. Might be good for internal politicking.
However, the sudden decision made by you know after a phone convo with the half-mad Turkish dictator had two major consequences:
– It left a few hundred thousand Kurds, who took most of the burden of fighting ISIS on the ground and paid thousands live, at the predictable mercy of Erdogan.
– It made paleocons, chiefly Ron Paul and his son, happy. This alone might cause anyone to smell something fishy.
Not to mention Mattis’ resignation… Oh well.
Yep, Trump is withdrawing from foreign battlefields just like he promised and putting the money into the wall. But fighter-bombers are on call. And a brigade of the 82nd Airborne can be wheels-up in 8 hours.
I sincerely hope the Sultan will not do what he wants most.
We shall see.
Erase the Kurds? No way Turkish military that good.
