'The fight against Daesh [ISIS] is not over and continues alongside the [Kurdish-led] Syrian Democratic Forces,' Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said.

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe delivers a speech at the National Assembly in Paris on October 7."We are going to be extremely careful that this announced disengagement from the United States and a possible offensive by Turkey does not create a dangerous [move] that diverts from the goal we all pursue—the fight against the Islamic State—which is dangerous for the local population," Minister of Armed Forces Florence Parly told French reporters after Trump's latest decision,.

France has faced a series of domestic attacks claimed by ISIS since the group rose to prominence in Syria and Iraq. In addition, many French citizens have been radicalized and have traveled to the Middle East to fight with the militant group. While France's primary goal has been to fight against ISIS in Syria, it has also opposed the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad while backing the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Trump's controversial decision to withdraw troops from the northern Syrian region and allow Turkish forces to move in has facedfrom Republican and Democratic lawmakers. Even some typically loyal allies of the president have been highly critical of the move, warning that the pullback would harm the Kurds and embolden ISIS, as well as Russia and Iran. The U.S. has backed the Kurds in Syria. Russia and Iran have also fought against ISIS while simultaneously bolstering Assad's forces.

.....good health, at my request, Pastor Brunson, who had many years of a long prison term remaining. Also remember, and importantly, that Turkey is an important member in good standing of NATO. He is coming to the U.S. as my guest on November 13th.

Trump is an idiot, everyone knows this but Republicans.

So coherent! So not French! And tell Trudeau he's got small hands.

America is still cleaning up Obama’s Mess on the Border Crisis $$

Wow! xref: “Coherent statement” pledge circa 1972! ‘Avec’!

Ty we do too but you know how it is

Snap! lacks “coherence” who? Trump? China, Russia and now France 🇫🇷are all saying: forget you Trump

Europe continues to take over world leadership...

UN ‘citizenship’ for kurds & other nationless rdfugees? Passports? ACCESS to BRICS ships? NETWORK along TROPIC OF CANCER? Latitudinal Circumambulation? Displace Longitudinal “pressure’? Humanitarian Corridor? Block Longitudinal smuggling? Longest qibla?

USA is not the first time in leaving the partners behind to face the bitterness.

Wonder if Republicans will clutch their pearls and order FreedomFries again.

Captain obvious approves.

As does Iran and North Korea policies

The same players as the first world war and countries sleep walked into that nightmare!

If France stick with PKK/PYD terrorists, than they will be treated as terrorists , too. Don’t expect a friendly treatment from Turkey, then. How can you so adversary to TR which you are partners more than 50 years? So insane? Syria

You must surely mean Kurdish terrorists, as SDF=YPG=PKK which is a terrorist organization.

when French police can't protect themselves from terrorists, how do you expect the French prime minister to protect Syria or another country?

Stick it up and shove it.

There, see? We don’t have to get involved in every conflict on the planet. Let the French keep the peace between the Turks and Kurds.

Trump doesn’t even know what coherence means

What? Trump's policy lacks 'coherence?' Just like all his policies. Trump is incoherent. Literally.

Good. The rest of the world needs to step up

French conservatives protest bill allowing IVF for lesbiansConservative activists have marched through Paris to protest a French bill that would give lesbian couples and single women access to in vitro fertilization and related procedures So conservatives are horrible people everywhere? Seems about right. If you live in a country where children are growing up in care then NOBODY should be looking to use artificial fertilization, fix that and then I see no reason for anyone not to get this sort of assistance. Wow there are normal people in France
