If you’re going to make the claim he hasnt’ moved any troops out of Syria you should be able to provide the documentation to that effect.

Personal experiences, conversations etc cannot always be documented.

So according to your article there is a residual force remaining to prevent the Kurds from again facing the possibility of slaughter at the hands of the Turks and that they are resuming combined ops with the SDF.

I’d call that a good thing.

He also seems to be saying that we did withdraw, and then moved back in as a result of the Turkish campaign to essentially ethnically cleanse the Kurds from along the Turkish border.

Again, I’d call that a good thing.
