Playing the Kurdish card by the US has been strategically useful in taking down the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003 and in combating ISIS in Syria.

Dan,

Well, yes, it's called 'humanitarian concern'. The Trump Admiration Society could do with some of it.

I wonder what happened to the Good Samaritan, eventually ? You know, the one in the Bible ? Probably got sold as a slave.

Dear uncle Joe.

But I make a good point. I had noticed the logic behind the notion of US withdrawal, was that the Kurds were seen as contractors to the US. They were paid handsomely for their involvement.
Now the contract is over. It's as simple as that.

But on the other hand as well, what foreign government backs a separatist movement past its use-by date?
There are also more urgent and pressing issues for the US with Iran, without expanding on those obvious events.

There are also a vast array of seldom mentioned issues, which include Chinese encroachment into ME oil.
And not forgetting the buried narrative of the YPS-Jin. The majority cry against the withdrawal of a paltry thousand US troops, comes from the Eco chambers of the feminist movement.

Dan.

Critics of US President Donald Trump have branded a letter he sent to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as "juvenile" and "irresponsible" diplomacy.
The above is from an SBS News clip.
What these parasites call irresponsible diplomacy is nothing more than a move away from the standard conventional diplomacy of sitting on hands & not getting things sorted out !
Trump realised long before his Presidency that conventional politics were a perpetual failure & so he's grabbing the bull by the horns & by that he's exposing these failures on massive taxpayers salaries for nothing more than just more of the same. They're the cause of so much misery & Trump gets ridiculed for actually working on sorting it all out !
Talk about Sickos !

Looks like there's at least a ceasefire for the moment which wouldn't have happened if not for Trump's "irresponsible" letter.
The sit-on-their-hands Diplomats just watched while people were displaced in extreme danger.
So much for conventional Diplomacy !

Looks like the Turks are thinking about going for it again. Trump's fault again as per usual I suppose ?

What should be the UN's role in this ? Aren't they supposed to provide forces ? Why is it always expected America should sort it out ? Get the UN to do their job for once !
