Editorial: The US president was warned about the consequences of betraying the Kurds. Now he can see them, and he still doesn’t care

“Total disaster,” wrote the former US anti-Islamic State envoy, Brett McGurk, on Sunday, summarising the events of the past few days. Donald Trump’s decision to abandon America’s Kurdish partners in north-east Syria and wave in Turkish forces was made so abruptly that parts of his own administration were taken by surprise. The grim consequences have arrived with equal speed. But they were widely predicted.

Trump tried to get out of Syria before but neo-libs like Guardian opposed that. Now he's handed the problem off to Putin, Assad and Erdogan. Erdogan will rid himself of 10000 takfiris and push 3+ million Syrian refugees back into Syria and Assad will then get his country back.

Obama did a 'reset', calling Putin a 'constructive partner' on Syria in 2015 green-lighting genocide. Now Putin did his own 'reset' & finds Trump & co (& Trump's Eurofascist & Brexiteer allies) a 'constructive partner' on Syria, the US & the world. Appease tyrants, get tyranny.

Totally agree.........Trump has no idea what he has done in this regard. Think before you act Mr President..............oh sorry I forgot that you simply don't know how to do that.

'Total disaster? This has only just begun.' The worst nightmare is coming true.

All to protect the profits from two hotels. This doesn’t make America great, but it does show the world what American leadership is all about...

Has the Guardian recommended impeachment yet? It should! impeachment

Mattis is complicit in this. Anyone who works/worked for Trump is.
