WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopefuls denounced President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops back from northern Syria, saying in an Ohio debate on Tuesday he had endangered America’s longtime Kurdish allies while empowering foes Russia and Syria.
“I think that we ought to get out of the Middle East,” said Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts. “I don’t think we should have troops in the Middle East.” Fellow progressive Bernie Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, criticized Trump for first signaling the withdrawal in a tweet.“What he has done is wreck our ability to do foreign policy, to do military policy, because nobody in the world will believe this pathological liar,” he said.Trump has defended his reversal of longstanding U.S. policy in Syria as part of a plan to withdraw the United States from “endless” wars in the region.

“Our commanders across the board, former and present, are ashamed of what’s happening here,” he said.Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard took a different view. A veteran of the Iraq war, Gabbard has defined her campaign around ending America’s overseas conflicts, but has come in for criticism for meeting Assad and defending his regime.
Socialism= communism
I mean he is. He capitulates to dictators and is hostile to our allies.
Crimson3Pointer So taking U.S. troops out of northern Syria is reckless and a danger to America? What about when Hillary Clinton got 4 U.S soldiers killed in Benghazi? The Democratic Party didn’t call her reckless and a danger to America.
Some of them (may be most) cannot show Syria on a map...
Demokrasi getiriyoruz yalanıyla insanları öldürdünüz vampirler

Every liberal I know doesn’t believe in way. These candidates are spineless humans that pander to whoever will listen to what they sell that day
Can’t it be the other way? Can’t it be too much meddling with some other countries affair pose the source of threat to America? Dems should think what’s the other side of President Trumps action.

😂😂😂 Dems FOR War. Now there’s a switch of stitches.
I think he wants Russia in there and that’s why he got out.
Educate yourselves first dimwits...
Russia was empowered in Syria by poor decisions long before Trump. Thanks Obama! Withdrawal of US troops from north-eastern Syria was a consequence of those decisions.
Long time kurdish allies ?’! - FFS they are yeaterday’s US hired mercenaries!!! the Turks have been at the forefront of defending Nato for decades —- fought and died side by side Americans since Korean war - what the f*ck is wrong with us really...?
Tulsi2020 Tulsi TulsiGabbard2020

Simondlewis The House and Senate a lot of whom members on that stage passed no bills or aid proposals for the Turks nor did they discuss leaving NATO so US forces could participate against Turkey...did they forget there are laws we must follow..our troops aren't police
Simondlewis *President Donald Trump And, there is no such thing as a 'Democratic' debate - it was a debate filled with Democrats; therefore, it is a 'Democrat Debate'... You folks just don't like the suffix 'RAT' lingering on the tongue, so you call it 'Democratic'...

Simondlewis If that group all hates it, you know it’s the right thing to do.
Simondlewis They have no idea what they’re talking about on foreign policy
Simondlewis Since when did Libs think war was good? 😂
Simondlewis 1040 US Soldiers fighting 15,000+ TURKS FAIR? Why is UN not involved in the TURKEY WAR with the KURDS? Because the UN has no money thanks to TOTAL CORRUPTION!! Why is NATO not involved in the Turkey War against KURDS? Because of total CORRUPTION & no money!!

Simondlewis Not to mention intervention deadline expired at least 5 years ago,that was the time when you could have achieved something Nothing was done in spite of horrific attacks on civilians in the hands of the Syrian regime forcing millions to flee
Simondlewis History recorded that blood is in the hands of the Obama-Biden administration&predecessors. Americans& the🌎witnessed the destruction of entire countries as the outcome of theUS government foreign interventions in the MiddleEast. SLAMefforts, toFINISH endless wars isHYPOCRITICAL
Simondlewis If you’re not prepare to see it through then don’t get involved in the first place He did the right thing and saved American lives Or you’d have another Iraq in your hands One was enough for everyone involved
Simondlewis They use IQ to determine who gets to talk the most. Dumber they are, more time on the mic!

Simondlewis Turkey struggling against terrorism since 40 years and we lost 40000 innocent civilians because of terror attacks So What kind of democrats are they who do not know where is the Turkey and what is the biggest headache of Turkey since 40 years? They like chewing same gums always
Simondlewis Dems are pathetic! They care nothing about protecting our borders against drugs, gangs, illegals & human trafficking! How many times do the Dems need to tell the American people they will never put Americans first.
Simondlewis As bad as Benghazi?
