Trump dismisses Turkey's invasion of Syria, says Kurds are 'no angels'

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday downplayed the escalating tensions in the Middle East in the aftermath of his abrupt withdrawal of American troops from northeastern Syria.

"If Russia wants to get involved with Syria, that's really up to them," Trump continued."We shouldn't be losing lives over it." Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria this month has left the Middle East in chaos as Kurdish troops have felt abandoned by the U.S. and left struggling to fend off invading Turkish forces. The absence of thein the region, allowing Russia to absorb the Kurdish forces and extend their influence in the area.

"Our soldiers are out of there. Our soldiers are totally safe," Trump said."They've got to work it out. Maybe they can do it without fighting."

Of course not....You might look like you have blood on your hands the other way. Thanks for the good wishes... You make your Allies (like Canada) question exactly what it is you stand for... Aside from yourself and your real estate. You're the shifty one.

Simple despicable!

Blood is on your hands

Syria will just hit them with nerve gas

Under Trump, those colors on the flag apparently do run.

If the US considers itself the leader of the free world wouldn’t then also be its responsibility to help other countries whose freedom is under attack?

The families of these soldiers I’m sure are happy Americans dying in a war that’s not our problem

Weakest POTUS ever...

This guy is a total embarrassment to all of the ideals that the USA is supposed to stand for.

What a profoundly terrible human being.

Looking like a creep as he continues to allow genocide of people he thinks are less than him. Fits a pattern of behavior. If I was a profiler I’d say this sounds about right. 🤢

And that part of our world should never be our problem, just do some drone strikes if you really need to.

The U.S. military was there to decimate ISIS held territory. Not fight Turkey. If Congress feels that strongly about, they could take a vote... but they won't. That's on them.

What a d!k

Of course loyal to no one and an awful human being!

Best President Ever!

This is why we can’t afford to wait for an election. No telling what he may do before next November.

That's the kind of language used to excuse genocide, you hear it all the time by Trumpists in reference to immigrants and blacks killed by police.

Well, now you know what to expect if you're his ally...

No more endless wars.

WE SHOULD HAVE A HORSES ASS EMOJI...

Trump is a piece of 💩
