I lived and worked in Turkey for 18 months. I suppose they were/are an ally, but the reality was some of the people liked us and some hated us. A lot depended on who was making money off us and who was not. Our Officer's Club in the downtown (Izmir) American section was bombed and a friend of mine was stabbed in broad daylight on a busy street for talking to a Turkish girl.

Lol
If
Trump goes to a random elementary school and beats shit out of 10 random kids ........ Kardman n RR say ... well those kids deserved it ... praise Trump for having courage to do what is needed.
Trump goes around grabbing random women by the p****y ..... Kardman n RR say ..... man that Trump has way with Women those women sure were lucky n isnt Trump a man of the people.
Trump goes to Kardmans n RRs homes and burns it down and kicks their dogs or cats on way out. Kardman n RR say well dsmmit we deserved it we didnt praise Trump enough n our cats or Dogs must of had it coming as Ttump is a genius an is always right.

Someday Streeter may figure out that this is not about Sarcastic Stacker or RR. This is the legal takedown of a corrupt government.
But Streeters focus is on a couple posters at a sports website. Go figure.

Get out of Afghanistan also--let the towel heads kill each other wantonly. 18 years is long enugh.
While at it--get out of South Korea--let um spend their own $$$ for defense.
Same with Germany. Remove US troops from the bases there--let the stasi beetch defend herself.

Interesting that streeter sees fit to keep young American troops in syria, but whined and moaned when HIS OWN SON wants to enter the armed forces voluntarily!!
Talk about a double standard--let others die--but keep my baby out of harms way.
Fiddling, Riley and I served in the US military---I will wager streeter NEVER even played week-end warrior.

Had taken the Physical and swore in n everything. After accident I got released from obligation n went to UK. As for my kid pf course I steered him towards College first. He has all expenses paid to Northwestern a top 10 school. For me to not do that I would have been a shitty father. Katman is mentally I'll an has an excuse to act nuts. U have none. In your Trump can do no wrong u have no objectivity or rationale here. Just some blind Trimp love. HC I might not agree 100% but can respect HE IS OBJECTIVE. you are just blind.

Stop letting USA soldiers die at the hands of those not willing to defend themselves.
Time to let euro NATO become involved with their own decisions and safety. Pony up $$$ for their own defense.
Stasi beetch merkel deals with russia, then whines and wants protection from russia.
Great move by TRUMP--bring our soldiers home--protect OUR border.

All that being said is excellent background into the thinking...except the Kurds have been a staunch US Ally in Iraq etc. I'm not of the opinion that we should let them hang out to dry. Turkish President is not a good actor. He is a bad person and would if he could slit America right down the Gut. NATO is an ally probably because we have funded and still provide very extensive funding for it. As the article says in good language they ain't going to and wouldn't have provided shit for Turkey. I'm not real sure that Turkey and aggressively act to take over territory of anther country without breaking the NATO defense treaty. Back to my original premise, underlying reasons are acceptable but the Kurds as a literal sacrificial lamb is not IMO a good idea. Sends a bad signal to insurgents in other countries we might be promising help to or even providing help for to combat the Middle East Malestorm. I still think its a bad idea. That being said Trump does not have some nefarious plan in mind, in this decision I think he is misguided

Who on this board would send their son or daughter to iraq, syria, afghanistan to fight or set up a safe place for anyone in the area?
NOT I--not a chance I would NEVER promote sending a loved one to such GOD forsaken sh!tholes!! Since we won't KILL all the enemy bastards--just get out!!
Who wants their loved ones in those sh!tholes?
