Sec of Defense: Turkey appears to be committing war crimes

Do you know how lucky we are that no real foreign policy crises have arisen? He managed to make this a disaster for no reason.

Turkey has said they will takeover responsibility for the camps/prisons. If there is anybody left that is. Nearly a thousand ISIS family members have escaped and we don’t know how many ISIS fighters… Latest is just a handful but the situation is fluid.

They also said they wont kill civilians, and yet they have death squad beheading people.

Indeed. Taking over responsibility for tens of thousands of prisoners is a huge undertaking and I don’t see it happening in any credible fashion in the short term.

Syria. We were in the convoy of Kurdish civilians targeted by Turkish forces or their allies in Ras Al Ain. Our team is fine but some colleagues are dead. Our story from the

This might at least equal the world peace tweet.

Trump, at his golf course, claiming Hunter Biden is AWOL. Someone should tell Trump there is a disaster unfolding in Syria. I think the commander in chief deciding to golf and tweet about a political opponent’s son in the midst of it is truly AWOL.

Did you miss the part where Esper said Turkey would likely have done this even if we had left the 50 troops where they were?..Since you have so much faith in Esper.

Because America doesn’t have the largest air-force in the world.

just admit your guy got punked out by a tinpot dictator.

The sole reason for this is Trump deciding to “wing it” on a phone call last week.

If Trumpsters want to argue we should pull-out, fine. But that’s not at all what happened here. Based on Trump’s tweets vs the secDef, it’s clear Trump has no idea what he did.

At least youre moving away from that 50 man meme.
We still have that airforce if we decide to go to war with an NATO ally.

Someone towing the Trump company line saying Turkey “likely” would have done it is a whole lot different than confirming they definitely would have done it.

Journalists dying will definitely make this less of a story.

His boss said he would retaliate against Turkey if they did this. Nothing has happened.

don’t ask us to help you fight the next terrorist group.

No, its not proof. You don’t get to do alternate histories in the real world.

Trump drew a red line in the sand,
Turkey jumped over it like it was the long jump,

and what did Trump do? nothing because he is weak.

Let them!

and since we’re letting them, in come the militias and proxies. Attaboy!

Thank you. There is no proof Turkey would have attacked US troops if we didn’t leave. Thank you.
