.JamesAALongman: Kurdish commanders on the frontlines say both U.S.-Turkey agreement and Turkey-Russia agreement 'essentially legitimized Turkey's incursion into northern Syria.' 'Kurdish people are worried about what happens going forward.'

President Donald Trump, facing harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for his abrupt decisions on Syria, announced on on Wednesday from the White House that the ceasefire on Turkey's border is"permanent."

"This was an outcome created by us, the United States, and nobody else," Trump said."No other nation, very simple. We're willing to take blame and we're also willing to take credit. This is something they've been trying to do. For many, many decades since then." Trump also added that the sanctions against Turkey will by lifted as long as something"happens that we're not happy with."In his tweet, the president touted “big success” on the Turkish-Syria border, heralding that a safe zone has been created and that the ceasefire has held.

The president's tweet comes a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced they had reached a separate deal on how to divide up and control northeastern Syria -- from which U.S. forces recently withdrew.

Top U.S. envoy for Syria, Amb. James Jeffrey testified that 'The Turkish incursion into northeast Syria is a tragedy'. Each lie Trump tells about this is worse than the last one he told.

ISIS is under control and it's because our military took them out. Obama weaponized ISIS to go after the Kurds. They did not escape that was a lie. Jeffrey is not doing a good job in Syria he needs to be replaced

Nice job Drumpf.

Not our problems, it’s the Middle East problem

Amb. James Jeffrey is a SES Deep State agent working against the American people and Pres. Trump. James Jeffrey works closely with the CIA and Mossad.

Who helps ISIS.

You kept mute When 1000 Isis fighters were captured But decided to make noise when 100 Were nowhere to be found It’s time you put your country first And stop the Dirty political game you play on your Platform

Oh shut up and go live there since you fraudulently care more about them 🙄

Who elected you ABC?

Nope we're not keeping our military there endlessly....🤷‍♀️

Who cares? Send your worse British outfit have them chase 100 scoundrels through out the countryside!

Remember when Obama released all the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, and then those terrorists went back to ISIS, and killed more people? And the mainstream media and Dems applauded. And now they’re losing their shit. Bc we’re pulling out of an area the Dems didn’t want to be in.

Yeah you are right

Aramzede That’s a shame

Just be thankful it didn't happen while a black guy was President, because if it did, ooh boy, Republicans be so made.

why did the kurds release them? Not much of an ally, huh?

Keeping us safe, realDonaldTrump! God, I cannot STAND so much WINNING!!!!

Anyone who voted for Trump because 'he'd be good for Israel,' officially now has egg on their face. Trump pulling out of Syria is bloody hell bad for Israel.

Wargasm - Jan Theuninck, 2001

Remember when Obama let ISIS run wild like Hulkamania?

Is that want putin wanted.

trump

Fakes news he’s full of it

Such a fine man; our leader. Glad he doesn’t have to protect me.

AOC will be happy to know that Thanksgiving will not be ruined this year.

Trump 2020🇺🇸

Don't even know what the 'sanctions' were & if they had any effect. Will be interesting to see how WH reacts if a permanent ceasefire doesn't hold. Also saw that U.S. troops moved to Iraq were told they couldn't stay permanently. Only to be in transit. True or not?

Buffoon..IMPEACH & REMOVE 🤬😡

Sanctions for North Korea, Iran and Turkey, ..., trade wars with Mexico, Canada, Europe and China …. by a 'Dealbreaker' without teeth representing the US next to a Russia that is gaining strategic influence everywhere

realDonaldTrump What you really mean is Putin told you it was okay to remove the sanctions now that Russia has moved in!!!! realDonaldTrump here you go!!!

Your a killer. Resign

Question why does abc donate to trump

And ISIS and the threat they pose to American citizens all over the world? Seems that our national security just became a non issue.

That’s right realDonaldTrump, we would rather stain the sand in Saudi Arabian oil fields with The blood of American soldiers rather than protect our allies in Syria.

Sucker!

Disgusting trump

More bull from Trump!

Our mission at is to build the social news network that ends fake news. Follow us Overlooked_Inc

So much for destroying the Turkish economy.

Their has been a deal with these two leaders, and only these TWO leaders, not reflective of the standard democratic way! The Trump investments are involved with these various world leaders and Trump.

Cut and Run Trump PutinsPuppet

I very much dislike this man.

Buffoon !!!

Truth is bitter but it have to be told

Well paid project management pays well indeed all over the world. International public seriously thinks what happens is ethnic cleansing while we’re hand in hand with kurdish brothers against terrorism. The money of the publics in the US&EU circulating for blood. This is insane..

Now what are the Alt lefters going to Goebeelize & Smear with Syria

Big success for his tiny gentals but a disgrace to what America stands for

' our military will only shed blood to protect Israel & SA'.

everything he does initially, or further down the line, enhances his friendship with Putin? Also, approval for future Russian hotels, etc

TRUMP is getting a major con job by the Turkey President !!

If the alleged ceasefire in Syria is “permenant”, it only means that the Turks killed all the Kurds in the territory they wanted to keep, or all of the Kurds fled before the Turks ethnically cleansed the territory. In neither situation should the Turks be rewarded. But trump will

President should tell critics and media where to go, what to do to themselves, and then bend way over and stick their head where the sun don’t shine..!!

1000 troops?

Trump just lifted sanctions and folded his hand to Putin. All roads lead to Russia. Trump sold US out.

Puppet president has made Erdogan and Putin so proud of him. 😆😆.

Sniff sniff POTUS Is on drugs!

This President is a Shame for America

Looney is getting worse!

Goddamn him trying to save American soldiers lives. Makes me sick the way he's pulling out of these endless wars. Who does this crazy man think he is.

sniff, sniff.

Trump is already trying to say that the invasion of Syria by Turkey and Russia is a good thing. So good that he lifted all the sanctions that Turkey was under. Our allies the Kurds have been betrayed again as well as our soldiers who are there to help them.

JamesAALongman

🖕

I don't know if I'm paranoid, but I find it suspicious that the u.s.a withdraw from the region.

GMA He looks like he's going to burst.

BEST PRESIDENT EVER !!! THANK GOD HE IS NOT A WARMONGER !!!

What would patron saint of republicans, Ronald Reagan say now that his Party is the party of weak military ? The republicans are no longer conservatives. The next time a plane flies into a building; we will not forget.

Pr**k People died for you to make another $$$ Disgusting. Franktheshank88

Trump gave Israel what it wanted on a platter. Jerusalem, Syrian Golan and complete authority in occupied Lands. Now he wants to have a free hand in ending the UN-Ending Wars in Mideast/Africa/Korea. Dems2020 Blunder: Oppose efforts to end the War. Never dared stop one.

Pain and suffering of the Kurds - that's point number one. Turkey was never suffering. I just can't with this nonsense!

JamesAALongman

Such bullshit.

Ending Obama’s Wars!! Who crossed the red line he drew

Turkeys move backfired, never thought the US would push back. Our political environment is so poisonous, its prompting our enemies & frienemies. Trumps non lethal approach, brilliant.

PresidentHalitosis speaks his ‘very special’ word salad.

Pretty sure Trump could have surrendered without the 3 day fight, but whatever.

So weak .

The same people that said Trump is going to start WW3 are the same people criticizing Trump for pulling out troops. Let that sink in

He’s a liar

Congratulating himself for the disaster he started. Make him go away...please!

The 'FREE ISIS' campaign is rolling right along!

Now watch the left come out swinging in favor of NeoCon wars for no reason other than Orange Man Bad.

ImpeachTheMFTraitor now. We the educated Americans demand it!

Trump does not care to protect our country any more. Not if he can make a deal for a tower in Moscow.

Why even broadcast this?

But we are still guarding the oil. 😂😂😂
