Mark Esper confirmed 1,000 U.S. troops are set to evacuated from northern Syria Sunday under President Trump's 'deliberate withdrawal,' and administration officials are continuing to threaten Turkey's economy.

" Turkey's economy should the situation become too volatile. But outraged Democratic lawmakers responded to these threats by asking why the Trump administration is holding off on sanctions against Turkey.

Esper said he does not believe Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will agree to a ceasefire or to move back across the Turkish border. Trump continued,"Do you remember two years ago when Iraq was going to fight the Kurds in a different part of Syria. Many people wanted us to fight with the Kurds against Iraq, who we just fought for. I said no, and the Kurds left the fight, twice. Now the same thing is happening with Turkey..."

We need bless and care our people We don't have any choice without Surya and Russia Because Trump disloyalty with us

Wait....What? This is so freaking wrong. Since when is Russia a hope to make a deal with Country? Now I know I am no part of the new Trump republican party. Sell outs. Nothing a true republican would ever say. I'mma hush! This is just so wrong.

This was the plan all along, sell our allies to our enemy, Russian agent in the White House is doing a great job!!

But hey, the Saudis pay good money, so send in the USMA... United States Mercenary Army

No, we promised to protect them from being slaughtered in exchange for helping us with ISIS. They held up their end of the bargain, we aren't thanks to guys like this.

Like the kurds signed up for This What would you do if you werent acknowledged in the country you were born, not allowed to speak ur own language? He wouldnt know, he isnt a nativeIndian Fuck MarkEsper

Narrator: They weren't fighting the Turks

Yes they are a nato ally and we have a crucial base there.

Mr, Esper's hope that attacked Kurds will make a deal with Russia is a painful joke. Did he consult Mr. Putin before opening his mouth?

Well we sure liked the Kurds when we needed them. Other potential allies are learning a valuable lesson about the USA.

He did not say that. But I hope they do what it takes to be safe

POS

Blah blah blah

But we didn't sign up to get our allies killed either

There’s no such thing as Kurds !! PKK , YPG are terrorist group!! Not all Kurds are terrorists !! Kurdish people are desperate to get rid of PKK/YPG/SDF terrorists , Kurdish people support Turkish operation to free them from terrorists , PKK/YPG = SDF = Al-Qaeda

What is he, Esperanza, smiling for. When all the Isis prisoners get out by escape or otherwise they will join with those that are still working on their agenda. This will lead to us and our allies experiencing more bombings/shootings/beheadings by them.

Kurds couldn't pay up?

He 'hopes'...

Congress is gonna play politics: the Republicans don’t care, listen to Lindsay Graham embarrassing call with a prankster about it🤪 The democrats won’t push too mich as they are focused on impeachment... The American people is busy trying to make sense of their own constitution.

Give the man a break, it’s very hard to defend the indefensible!

Power to Putin?

Bottom line is: The US is a passive participant to this conflict. Putin is the puppeteer and realDonaldTrump and the kurds the puppets. Donald is trying to get elected and trying to keep a campaign promise. Don’t pay attention to the empty threat to Turkey. Paper tigers...

EsperDoD must resign. He is bringing back ISIS. GOPLoveTerrorists GOPLovesISIS

Did u sign up to help Saudia Arabia?

The Europeans don’t want the nationals fighting on behalf of ISIS to come home and will not restore diplomatic relations with The Syrians who will be stuck with all these war prisoners they were planning to use as a bargaining chip to get back into those diplomatic relationships

Russia will assist an agreement between Damascus and the Kurds that are part of the Syrian society. Turkey must limit it's operation to protect it's borders and leave Syria a sovereign country.

Nope! Signed up to make profits from the Turks by selling the lives of the Kurds.

Trump is carrying Putin’s water on this one. Erdogan gets the Turkish Kurds not to use the autonomy granted by a desperate Assad to Syrian Kurds to get themselves more autonomy. The Kurds are separated and everyone wins except the Kurds.

Of course that was the plan all along. The kurds are themselves divided: one faction is with the national Syrian army (opposition) and the US, one is with Assad. Some Kurds are officers in the Turkish army. Russia plan all along was to be seen as the purveyor of a peace agreement

and esper we hope you can sleep at night after taking part in the slaughter of October 2019

Sanctions should be enacted immediately by all, as well as condemnation.

It sickens me that there are SO MANY greedy despicable heartless people in Republican government today.

Good for him, we were NEVER supposed to be in Syria to stay forever. I adore how these keyboard warriors volunteer other people to go countries that hate us and possibly die.

Not kurds,thay r terörist!

Does the moron know Russia has been bombing hospitals? ComplicitCorruptGOP PutinsGOP

The massacre of refugees, fled to Turkey. Who did the massacre? The answer is simple = PKK ... PKK is invading ... !!!

By the way, Trump announced the withdrawal of troops from Syria on October 7 - the birthday of Russian President Putin.

So turn our allies into our enemies. KurdsBetrayed

We also didn't sign up to be the Saudi's mercenaries

After Russia bombed 3 hospitals?!
