Turkey set to invade Syria; US to remove forces from area

Yet you have gone years without criticizing Turkey's invasion of Northern Syria and the resulting deaths of masses of Kurdish civilians, or it's 3 years of occupation. As usual, you only care if something gives you an excuse to go after the US or Israel.
Sometimes the best way to leave is just leave. Look at Afghanistan, they're still waiting for the "right time" to leave.
The U.S. did create a safe harbor for the Kurds in northern Iraq.
I think examples like South Korea, Taiwan and even West Germany presented defined boundaries. I'm not sure you can neatly carve out Kurdish territory in a messy place like Syria.
This leads to the question why is our military still in South Korea and West Germany.
Iraq, Turkey and Syria are not the only countries with Kurdish minorities, they also make up part of the population of north western Iran. Saddam gassed the Kurds after the Iran - Iraq War for supporting Iran.
Why are you always a clown?
It's funny that you didn't have the time of day for the Kurds when they were fighting with the US against Assad and you're only speaking up for them now as a way to criticize the US.
p.s. As far as I'm aware, there have been no Kurdish terror attacks on Turkey recently. This is just an excuse for Turkey to settle old scores and grab more of Syria. While Trump's government deserves criticism for refusing to back their allies, the majority of the blame should be directed at Erdogan.
Immediately after the khashoggi murder, Pat was quite pragmatic, he was ok with ignoring the murder because of the jobs and money that selling arms to SA would bring in.
The history of that region is written in blood. Although not nearly as bad as the Turks some (many?) Kurds also took part in the Armenian Genocide(s).

Could this have anything to do with it?

Yes, Trump says that the Kurds didn't help the US in Normandy in WWII so he's justified in throwing them to Erdogan.
Erdogan just threatened to flood the EU with the 3.5 million Syrian refugees he's hosting should they try to stop him in Syria.

All for Trump Towers Istanbul.
Erdogan is in the process of sending in “Arab Militias” to get rid of the Kurds either by either scaring them into fleeing or executing those who stay. Erdogan is ethnically cleansing the region...those who escape death will be showing up in refugee camps in huge numbers.
Actually Turkic militias who have been the people he's supported since the start of the Syrian conflict.
That has everything to do with it, plus future and current business interests. King Clown Trump only knows what's best for him, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Russia are Trump's allies.
