Turkey agreed to suspend military operations in northern Syria for five days in return for a U.S. pledge to facilitate a pullout by Syrian Kurdish fighters

, a deal President Trump hailed as “an amazing outcome,” but that some critics said mainly fulfilled Turkish goals.

Vice President Mike Pence reached the deal after five hours of talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday aimed at stopping a nine-day Turkish military incursion into Kurdish-held areas in northern Syria. The U.S. and Kurds have been allies...

Bekliyoruz ama gözlüyoruz..

What a complete failure of foreign policy by this WH.

Turkey continued bombing. Rimless zero diplomacy.

When ISIS resurgence occurs in the area, there will be lots of people wondering why we pulled out. Will Turkey control them? Syria couldn’t!

Do the Kurds get 40 acres and a mule or food stamps?

All those people are playing these U.S politicians like a fuckin fiddle they ain't never going see it coming. They can't stand The U.S they know exactly whqt they are doing.

Iowa senator joni 'putin' ernst just appeared with this coward in Iowa. Traitors of the gop don't care about our allies or friends. In their eyes you don't spend money on your friends because isolationists and traitors don't have any friends. SenJoniErnst

In order to save face this president is throwing American allies under the bus hey sad day for America there is a unhinged president that doesn’t know his ass from his appetite

Sanctions need to be imposed on Turkey until they actually stop. The cease fire has yet to be activated by Turkey. Is this field commanders or Erdogan calling the shots?

Oops. WSJ took the administration’s word for it.

realDonaldTrump VP What makes you all think that you will be able to convince the Kurds to abandon land that they have lived on for over a thousand years? Oh yea, you're the world's greatest negotiator. Good luck with that.

Trump’s foreign policy is a complete disaster.

American capitulation! Worse than Saigon! We were in a position of strength with competent loyal allies! What reason for betraying the Kurds other than the destruction of America’s reputation in the world? THIS IS WHY PUTIN WANTED TRUMP ELECTED!

Trump has blood on his hands.

What kind of 'deal' is this? Turkey agrees to stop their invasion if we give them everything they want.

Where are the Syrian Kurdish fighters going to end up? Remember, Turkey is going into Syrian territory after a go ahead signal from Trump.

Bizim Kürtler'le bir sorunumuz yok ..MARKSİST-LENİNİST bir terör örgütü olan PKK-PYD-SDG ile sorunumuz var..Bu adamların uyguladığı cinayetleri, vahşeti gösteren video'ları paylaşmak isterdim ama hepsi +18 yaş üstü için..

Erdogan has a distinct advantage in the negotiation process... he surrounds himself with strong knowledgeable advisers and the other thing going for him is he doesn't live in the twilight zone like Sparky

usa suriyede ne isi var? rusyanin farance ne isi var? bunlar turkiyeye ayni soruyu sorma hakki .yok orasi bir terör yuvasi .

Can’t they get a picture with smiley faces? It’s diplomacy not UFC or boxing match.

Turkey have carried out op in Northern Syria because it is the basic right of the sovereign countries to live without any terrorism threat. If you were born in TR you could understand what I'm talking about. More than 10000 people lost their lives in TR bcs of PKK/YPG terrorism.

Except we don’t speak for the Kurds. SDF

I wonder ? who will trust the US again? With this President

Might wanna check your fax machine for any newswire updates 🤷‍♂️

Wonder what that cost?

I would say this was the disaster we have all been wondering would happen. As Americans, we cannot let Turkey run over us like this. Perfectly outrageous.

Meaningless bullshit. Trump-Pence-Pompeo are lying traitors that sold out the USofA and the Kurdish People. Time to begin prosecution for War Crimes.

But they didn’t actually stop. They are still fighting!

pathetic 'deal making' by the Trump administration. Republicans should be ashamed.

The turks should not be there in the first place.
