    lol! Trump is Erogan’s man servant. I thought we weren’t letting foreign countries take advantage of us?

    Why are we letting little Turkey tell us what to do?

    lol. you got no room to talk here jorge. you supported george w bush and the iraq war. and now you defend trump, who says that iraq was a huge mistake. thats one of the bizarre things about you trump suck-ups. most of yall were bush/iraq war supporters. and you attacked those who were against the war and accused them of being un-american and not supporting the troops. but 15 years later you suck up to a president who says the iraq war was a huge mistake.

    its another example of how trump has totally flipped all you republicans and "conservatives" on your core issues and principles.

    we all know that if obama had done what trump did you and the other republican lap-dogs would be calling for his impeachment and saying that this was proof that he was a muslim terrorist who supported ISIS.

    and even the strongest advocates of getting out of the middle east would have consulted the pentagon before doing so. even a trump suck-up like yourself has to admit that it was stupid to not do so.

    Erdogan saw Trump’s response to Kim and North Korea (or Russia, or China, or the Democrats, etc.) and realized Trump will threaten, give you what you want, and then do nothing.

    Link with relavant part because people don't believe me when i state widely reported facts.

    "Turkey will pause its offensive Syria, overseen by the US, for 120 hours in order to allow for the pullback."

    imagine if obama had done this. he was accused of being a terrorist for the way he bumped fists with his wife. he was constantly accused of being a secret muslim.

    if he had done what trump did the republicans would be citing it as irrefutable proof that he was indeed a muslim terrorist who supported ISIS. at the least, he would be blasted as diplomatically weak and someone who bent over for russia and turkey.

    but trump does it and these same people applaud him for it and say it shows how strong he is.

    I wonder if Trump will try to use the US military to create a 20 mile safety zone on our southern border? If Turkey can do it, why can't we do it? We know that Trump believes terrorists and other bad hombres are invading us from the south.

    Mexicans would be very happy, and It would be great for civilization. Right?

    They haven't left for the past multiple decades, why would they leave in 120 hours?

    I understand why you may think that, but actually the kurds took territory they were not occupying before. Also many came from outside of Syria to take land. The 120 hours is a chance to let them escape with their lives before a modern military steam rolls them.

    I'm not sure it lasted that long.
