Trump says "Great news" but then doesn't explain what in the hell he is talking about... just points to another press conference. Yes, that is clownish behavior coming from a world leader. He created this crisis and only cares about winning a public relations battle.

Putting aside the typical, but ridiculous exaggeration ("millions"), he's implicitly conceding that they're fixing the mess he created with his reckless withdrawal.

1) "Mere presence"? I'm shocked at how little regard the modern conservative has for our military. Erdogan's forces entering Syria with any hint of threat to U.S. forces would have met the sort of firepower that would have swiftly and definitively made crystal clear the regional pecking order.

2) Our soldiers are far more endangered when even third rate forces like Turkey think they can push America around with mere feints of aggression.

3) When Obama was president you guys couldn't get enough of mocking ineffective economic sanctions. Now it is the only smart play. I look forward to you guys cheering on President Warren's economic sanctions after the next terror attack organized in the void left by Trump.

Did you even put 1 ounce of thought into this drivel?

1. Yes, our airpower alone could have stopped the Turkish forces. But guess what, that would mean we are in an armed conflict with one of our NATO allies. A conflict where we are defending groups our ally considers terrorist. Talk about a win for Putin.

2. This is plain stupidity.

3. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.

No, not in the least. I do not think we should gamble the lives of our soldiers on the bet that their mere presence would prevent a man like Erdogan from invading. If we did and lost we would have no other choice but to take military action against Turkey.

IMO the least worst option (there is no good option) is to pull the troops out of harms way and enact economic sanctions to get our way.

I guess when economic sanctions don't work, you put troops in an area to defend our allies? See Saudi Arabia.

Who is our ally? The Kurds or a NATO member?

You guys are so shortsighted you can’t see past your nose.

There are 2 million Kurds in Syria, and about half a million more in Turkey near there. Plus whatever other Syrians and Turks would be involved and caught in the crossfire.

How many millions fled the 20k strong forces of ISIS? What happens when its 100 times that size?

Not Saudi Arabia. Can you believe Trump handcuffed you to spew ignorance. Short sighted with your response indeed. The only place for you to crawl now is to say we should abandoned all of our foreign military positions. Take that option off the table and do nothing but sanction bad actors.

Name just one show of strength that Cadet Bone Spurs has taken with a foreign adversary. Trump has done nothing but place the United States in a position of weakness in international negotiations and diplomacy. Trump has sided with Putin over our intelligence community. Trump has lobbied for Russia to be accepted back into the G7 unconditionally. Trump has exchanged love letters with Kim Jong Un and shown no concern for the fact that North Korea is still pressing forward with their nuclear build up and testing missiles. Iran has shot down one of our drones and attacked a Saudi oil field... and gotten no response from Trump. And now, Trump has abandoned a key ally in the middle east, against the wishes of practically all of his advisers. This guarantees the resurgence of ISIS and future terrorist attacks. Donald Trump is the embodiment of an old, weak, feckless, pathetic coward.

Yet after he gets his dyed hair out of bobby pins and rollers, squeezes into whatever girdle they've laid out for him that day, puts the lifts in his shoes so he tilts forward like a T-Rex with bad hips, gets his cosmetologist to paint the orange tanner on all his exposed areas, tugs his extra long red silk tie (made in China) too tight around his obese neck folds in a fit mimicry of the scene where Leia chokes out Jaba the Hut, drapes himself in a tent of a suit more commodious than a Harvey Weinstein hotel shower robe, takes up his iPhone (also made in China) in his chubby vulgarian fingers and starts into a vigorous workout of watching Fox and Friends and yelling at people on the internet, he is the manliest man that Mike Pence and the red hatters on Volnation have ever seen.

Wasn't trumps rationale for getting tf out of Syria the campaign promise to bring our troops home?

And then he immediatly deployed an assload of them to Saudia Arabia.

Trump is clown, he botched this badly - it will define his presidency. Jesus, even even graham and mcconnell are letting him have it and those two wrote the manual for sniffing his jock.

I get your point but didn't he send the troops to SA before the withdrawal from Syria in response to the drone attacks to the oil facility?

You call it drivel, yet the first thing you do is agree that Turkey has zero chance in even a skirmish.

Everything else you are saying is irrelevant, because if you know this and I know this and everyone else in the world knows this, Erdogan did as well. What I, and the rest of the free world are wondering is, why the hell doesn't Trump know this?
