You would have supported this had it been dear leader Obama’s decision.
Orange man bad.
"Ignore the slaughtered civilians, what's really important here is this scenario that I just made up where I imagine you being seriously hypocritical."
Russia has already stated their opposition to the US withdrawing.
Syria is against any foreign troops on their territory, that includes the US and Turkey, that area is in fact Syrian territory, and Turkey is invading Syria.
Iran, while good relations with Turkey, do have critical areas. The Kurds are in fact an Iranian group, so there is that link. Turkey also is in NATO, who by such membership is an ally of the US. Turkey also has positive relations with Israel, a mortal enemy of Iran. I have not read anything, but I cannot picture Iran supporting US troops in Syria, but also not support Turkish invasion of the Kurds.
Turkey is invading along with the Free Syrian Army which wants to overthrow Assad, its complicated with all the factions but our withdrawal leaves a vacuum. This has nothing to do with NATO, this is Turkey acting on its own. Iran fought along side us in Iraq but would gladly take advantage in Syria. I have not heard anything relative to Russia's opposition, they are supportive of Assad. We bombed the Syrian air base a few years back and warned the Russians.
Why should I sacrifice my sons and money to get in the middle of TRIBAL civil wars? Liberals weren't you anti war and anti American COLONIALISM? Blood for oil and such?
The Kurds would have been fighting with or without us being there. Yes they helped us because it was in their interest to do so. We should not be getting in the middle of what has been going on for years anyway. This fight is not worth my son's life.
Do you understand that there is a difference between hoping to wind down our military involvement, and blithely backing out of our commitments and leaving heartlessly people in the lurch?
Well said. Indeed, Senator Lindsay Graham agrees with AOC on this subject.
Cadet bonespurs just ranted on the Kurds not helping in WWII.
