Trump administration ends aid for northwestern Syria

The Trump administration has withdrawn all assistance from Northwest Syria, according to administration officials. This is the newest demonstration of the administration's intent to briskly exit the country once ISIS is fully defeated.

...
The northwest, where the U.S. is now completely withdrawing, has been cleared of ISIS. The region includes Idlib, which is the largest area of Syria that is still under rebel control in that country's civil war.

...
Critics of the administration's policy say that maintaining a U.S. financial presence in the region, and funding projects that build up civil society, are important to helping the country get back on its feet. It also gives the U.S. more leverage when the political future of Syria is determined down the road.


Good news on multiple fronts...

Does this mean we've officially sold out the Kurds?

They are the only honorable people in this whole mess and fierce warriors to boot.

Do you want us in there or out of there?

Our are you just anti-Trump to the point where if he says 2 + 2 = 4, you would say it's actually 7?

So after the Kurds been the only consistently honorable warriors and partners in this fight, we've turned them all over to the mercy of the Russians and the Turks.

Damn it.

So... you suggest we should stay there indefinitely and fund the region indefinitely? Baloney...

You know this is good for Trump - so you have to post something contrary...

No. I suggest we don't double cross our allies, those who fight alongside of us.

I suggest we quit being played for chumps by Putin.

So like Iraq and Afghanistan we are staying forever.

I will remember your sentiments in the Israel funding discussions.
