Since the U.S. troops’ removal from the area, over a hundred civilians have been killed and 200,000 displaced.
Trump announced that the U.S. is now sending troops to help Saudi Arabia for some reason, which he says “has agreed to pay us.” It’s strange to suggest that the most powerful military in the world needs to be paid in exchange for protection, which, of course, has not happened. If Trump’s radical Syria decision was motivated by money, he fails to recognize the cost is the little stability in the region and now, human lives.
Oliver leaves us with a clip of Kurdish people heckling and throwing things at the impenetrable trucks transporting American soldiers out of the area, knowing that as the American troops leave with their defenses, the Kurdish people become that much more vulnerable.
