They gambled and stayed where they are . I hope Iraqi Kurdistan has enough room for them. Turkey wants to send back most of Syria refugees to displace the Kurds. This is going to be expensive to say the least.

I would think the Kurds knew that Trump wanted to pull out that caused Mattis to resign. Where could they go in Syria that was devastated by war.

It's a goal within reason not extreme .

Cleaner air and water is good not bad.

Beto can say anything he wants , he has 0% chance of being the nominee.

How to keep 12,000 ISIS in custody in Kurdish control and deal with 3.6M Syrian refugees in Turkey. It is a big cost for Turkey and Europe is giving them big aid. Invading Syria will just make it worse.

I'm a Independent 38% is the major party , not a majority but you get the idea.

If Greta had a gofundme page , she would have massive money to spread her message.

However, as Gallup points out in its most recent research, 31% of all Americans identify as Democrats, 29% as Republican and 38% as independent. Cool I'm in the majority ?

The Kurdish civilians should have been given enough advance warning to leave their homeland before Turkey invaded, thanks Trump. "President Trump and President Erdogan have reached an understanding over precisely what this operation is," Gulnur Aybet said from Ankara on Wednesday. "He knows what the scope of this operation is." https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/09/politics/turkey-syria-us-anger-ramifications/index.html

A major difference is that the Kurds were guarding 12,000 ISIS prisoners. Turkey is trying to displace the Kurds in northern Syria.

You are right , me wrong Made the wrong assumption . I can't remember Trump speaking up for the Hong Kong protesters against China.

US says it did not approve Turkey's Syria offensive US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has denied the US gave Turkey a "green light" for its offensive in Syria. Mr Pompeo defended President Donald Trump's widely criticised decision to withdraw US troops from the northern border area. Turkey on Wednesday launched an assault on territory held by Kurdish-led forces - key allies of the US in the region. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-49995494 "President Trump and President Erdogan have reached an understanding over precisely what this operation is," Gulnur Aybet said from Ankara on Wednesday.

Trump mocks NBA coach Steve Kerr for China stance, calls him 'little boy' President Trump mocked Golden State Warriors coach and frequent critic Steve Kerr for how he responded to a question about a controversy between China and the NBA, calling Kerr a “little boy.” Trump took shots at San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich as well. “He was like a little boy, he was so scared.... He was shaking,” Trump said of Kerr when he was asked for his thoughts on whether the Chinese were wrong to be putting pressure on the NBA after Houston Rockets manager Daryl Morey tweeted out a since-deleted photo in support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong. Protesters have for months demonstrated against China allegedly infringing on their Western-style democratic rights. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/trump-mocks-nba-coach-steve-kerr-for-china-stance-calls-him-little-boy Looks like Trump is giving his ok for China to crush freedom in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Well the point now is do we let the Kurds get slaughtered ? The Kurds lost 11,000 fighters defeating ISIS with a lot of US help. They are guarding 12,000 ISIS prisoners so far.

Turkey did not dare kill those 50 and start a war with the US

If Turkey killed those 50 soldiers it's declaring war on the US. 23,400 US troops in S.Korea , can they stop N.Korea , of course not , same result.

At the very least bring the evidence to the UN Security Council for a vote. When Russia vetoes any action then they are complicit to be shamed and shunned by the world.

His first mission was to smuggle war crimes evidence. Now it's to convince Congress to act The horrifying pictures -- almost 55,000 of them, taken by him and others -- showed scenes that were compared to the depravity of the Nazis. Caesar code name photos showing alleged torture of prisoners by Assad regime But a world that said "Never Again" after the Holocaust appeared to shrug. "I honestly thought that if I could have the courage to go for the years that I did ... endangering my life every single day, that once I came out and showed the world what I had, that the entire conscience of the world would move," he says. But it didn't. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/08/politics/syria-defector-caesar-in-washington/index.html These pictures are proof of crimes against humanity , warning very graphic https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2019/10/08/syrian-defector-begs-congress-for-action-bolduan-pkg-ath-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/around-the-world/

He is a ST , sub 4.40sec at pro day.

I was wrong about Zay , the change will give him a fresh start . A 5th at this point is good.

Top Kurdish general: Watching over ISIS prisoners now a 'second priority' General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, of the Syrian Democratic Forces, said his fighters have been shifted to the border ahead of an expected assault by the Turks. The detention centers hold 12,000 suspected terrorists swept up during the U.S.-led campaign against ISIS fighters in the region, according to Mazloum and U.S. officials. Of the 12,000, 2,000 are foreign fighters, and Iraqis and Syrians make up the remaining 10,000, Pentagon officials say. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/top-kurdish-general-watching-over-isis-prisoners-now-second-priority-n1063496

The Bush Administration later sought an agreement with the Iraqi government, and in 2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory" The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_of_U.S._troops_from_Iraq
