@JenGriffinFNC
Sr US defense official tells me: The President made the decision to pull out of Syria last Fri Dec 14 after speaking with Turkish President Erdogan, who told Trump Turkish forces were planning to enter Syria to go after the Kurdish PKK and warned US troops to get out of the way.
@WalidPhares
If this report is correct, the President and his Adm must officially inform the American public and US allies that this is the case. That we are leaving #EastSyria because of President #Erdogan request. Better inform the Congress and Americans about the reason, early, not late...

(19,564 posts)We're literally bailing on our allies (Kurds) so they can now be murdered by the Turkish army at the request of Turkey.
By the time Trump is done with us there won't be a single country willing to come to our aid when we need it. At least not in the foreseeable future.
