Yes Belly, it is time for decisions.
Britain's interest in the area came about when they intervened to
assist the Ottoman Empire against the Russians.
With hindsight that was exactly the wrong move they should have
supported the Russians.
Then followed Russia's victory with dividing up the Ottoman Empire
into incompatible countries after the Wests' victories in 1918.

The Turks were the only ones who had any success in holding the area
together but not being Arabs the Ottoman Empire was a nervous grouping.

As far as the Kurds are concerned they are enemies of the Turks but
I think they will be sacrificed to the Turks unless Saudi Arabia steps
in to tell the Turks stay out.
It is a mess and they have never taken advantage of any external
intervention.

Not sure if pulling out of Syria is right or wrong but it would not matter if Trump saved a family from drowning, his haters would have a whinge.

Come on you lot, the Middle Easterners have been fighting for fighting's sake a thousand years before anyone knew there was a middle east.
They like blaming America yet the USA has only been on the scene for 400 years.

Runner, and those who dislike negative views about Trump
In the end what makes your opinion any better than mine? or others who share my view
What makes Trump special
What are the reasons so many, world wide fear him
Do you understand his staff are, and have for some time,been leaving
In the matter under discussion Trump has back flipped on his country,s long term policy
His advisers are against it
Syria this year, may well see Turkey use its war, to make war on Kurd,s, a people Turks have history with
Putin , now being purely a danger to world peace, is gaining power from Trumps move

There are more than thirty million Kurds, surely enough to form a state, either a single sovereign state, or a federation of autonomous regions of Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey ? [Yes, there's the problem - you noticed it ! ]

The Kurds have been doing most of the fighting against ISIS. So now the West abandons them, yet again ? The word of the Western powers, especially the US, means nothing now ? Trump's suspected business interests in Turkey and Russia take precedence over US principles ?

Do you understand his staff are, and have for some time,been leaving
Belly,
You'd more than likely find that those with some integrity & a sense of responsibility aren't leaving ?
