WOW - Erdogan bossing potus around - Warned Trump to get out of the way in Syria

@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...

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.

in murdering Khashoggi and not providing the proof that MBS was personally involved. This is the bribe drumpf is giving him, you get to murder the Kurds and we will look the other way while Turkey stays out of the way of drumpf profiting personally from SA.

They - Russians, Saudis, et. al - have him and his republican cronies by their tiny little precious short hairs, and as a consequence they are jerking America around something stupid.
