President Trump ordered U.S. military forces to be withdrawn from northern Syria in the wake of Turkey’s invasion, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said

The move, decided on Saturday, is aimed at preventing U.S. forces from being trapped between advancing Turkish forces and Russian-backed Syrian forces, Mr. Esper said.

Invasion is what the Americans did when they slaughtered the Indians while establishing/producing that nation. What we do is just “self defense” since US produced those terrorist near by our borders

The Ottoman Empire “the Turks” used to own all that territory. The Kurds don’t own it they have Kurdistan. Maybe the Turks will act responsibly, destroy the remains of ISIS, deter or get rid of Assad and open the gates for Syrians to return to their home.

Cut and run. Been rented to the Saudis. . RepStefanik

Kurds helped us fight isis and we're leaving them for slaughter. Genocide, rape, and release of isis prisoners have already happened. This is catastrophic.

For those of you wondering what u would have done during world war 2! Well, what are u doing now?

Tail between hind legs, Trump runs away from Northern Syria leaving Kurds to face NATO armed Turkey.

Obama said 16 times; no boots on the ground in Syria; the Media/Dems said nothing. Trump sent arms 3 times to The Ukraine to fight Putin. Obama refused to send any arms following Putin invasion.

You will go to not only Syriya but also every muslims place

Being an ally to Trump doesn't end well for anyone but I had hoped he'd draw the line at those who have sacrificed so much for us being led to slaughter. Too optimistic for this administration though. My bad.

NishaPurushoth2 Still till that troops how many millions dollars spent?

run🚶🏻‍♂️

Turkey told US that they were going to attack northern Syria where we had 150 of our soldiers. We moved our soldiers so the 25,000 Turkish soldiers & the defending soldiers would not kill ours. Good move. We do not need another war over there. DEMs/Media were against wars.

Everyone is suddenly a kurd expert. Everyone suddenly cares deeply about the kurds. Right.

Suriye'de bulunan PKK-PYD-SDG isimli terör örgütünün MARKSİST-LENİNİST bir terör örgütü olduğunu bilmiyor musunuz.?Biz TÜRKLER'in Kürtler'le bir sorunu yok..Savaştan kaçan en az 500.000 Kürt Türkiye'ye mülteci olarak sığındı...!!!

We abandon the Kurds, no one else is going to sign a treaty with America to fight with us if we just leave them for slaughter. Turkey will slaughter the Kurds.... USaNoLoyalty

US people and government love YPG very much. I think they should accept Syrian Kurds as refugee.

It’s difficult to know who is an ally when sizing up the Kurds or the Turks. But by jerking out the troops with no collaborative consultation is knee jerk and dangerous. We need to do better at thinking before we speak and collaborating before we act. Common sense.

big wrom

candundaradasi US kills 2 million people in Islamic countries But is it a terrorist Muslim? Assad killed 700,000 of his own people, most of them children and women. But he's not the killer and the dictator?

candundaradasi Super! No more racist YPG PKK terrorism and ISIS. Turkey wipes them out all.

Realmente el lo que mejor hace el ARMY, retirarse.

So very wrong

'del norte de Siria a raíz' es falso La verdad es que se retirarón para facilitar la invasión 'del norte de Siria' . 'from northern Syria at the root' is false The truth is that they withdrew to facilitate the invasion 'of northern Syria'

We look like absolute cowards. Shameful. Repugnant. Ughh..

So he’s surrendered to Putin?

Unfassbar, keine Worte

Under Donald Trump US troops are getting kicked in the ass by Putin’s minion

Good. Let these adherents of a vicious, 6th century religion kill each other. FoxNews ABC CBSNews NBCNews

Where’s NATO?

Invasion? Wait till the President heard that and the poor guy’s gonna lose his job.

Trump cluster f**k

Terrible.🤬

Everyone calm the fuck down

they were shelled by turkish artillery and retreated from posts that are even outside of the 'safe zone' erdogan named will be established. Thats not withdrawing. That is surrender. Betrayal is complete.

who sent the American Troops to Syria in the first place? Trump2020

Turkish forces attack US military, so the US military pulls back. Turning the other cheek? Reluctance to attack a NATO country's forces even as they attack us? Or simply more support for Turkish genocide. Biggest winner: Russia, with Syrian government as a runner-up.

Bring our forces home Mr President

Another green light...do they need to keep announcing their bad decisions publicly?

Good!!!!

Turkish artillery fire comes close to US forces in SyriaTurkish artillery hit close to a US special operations unit near Kobani, Syria, a US official familiar with the initial assessment says. There are no US injuries in the early reports and no indication it was deliberate, the official says. Fake news. There is coordination between US and TR despite poor relations to ensure such accidents are avoided. Anyway just take your troops back 10000miles so they can be with their fsmilies instead of propping up pkk/sdf terrorists on Turkey's border. Simple. Although we betrayed by America but we still protect our land and fight those jihadi Turkish terrorists till we die

Mistake... Big mistake !!
