Perhaps you are right, but my sense is that strongmen like Erdogan never want to expose that they are really paper tigers. This would simply make him look weak and give oxygen to his many political enemies inside Turkey. Instead, we emboldened an authoritarian, abandoned an ally to slaughter, and Putin's intel ops guys are making fun of us on twitter as they raise their flags over our bases. That's why 129 house Republicans voted to condemn the troop withdrawal.

Nevertheless, though I think this was the wrong timing, I think we can agree that the Middle East does not create winners, only losers. Russia thinks it is putting its hand into a cookie jar, but it will draw back a stump at some point in the near future.

Believe me I am all for getting the hell out of the middle east.

Turkey wouldn't go that far. The idea that it could have even happened is bs and has basically been confirmed by people inside SOCOM AND CENTCOM. Erdogan would not do something that could get out of his control. If the U.S. holds its ground Turkish troops would have entered Syria. At best it would have been militias and they were fair game to kill. The video of Russian forces inside of an abandon military base was a PR victory.

Name 1 person in either command that has unequivocally stated he wouldn't. Just one.

Seriously did someone tell you to post something Mitt said 12 years ago or did you just decide you wanted to know what Mitt had to say about the Kurds 12 years ago? What was your search phrase? I want to duplicate your research.

The only reference to her being called "Tabbi", that I can find, is in a pretty small circle right wing Twitter/Blogger types..
