Trump says Turkish offensive in Syria is 'not our problem'

[Warlord]

President Trump said Wednesday that Turkey’s offensive against U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in northern Syria is “not our problem,” defending his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from the region amid criticism.

"If Turkey goes into Syria, it is between Turkey and Syria. It’s not our problem,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.

Trump also downplayed the U.S. alliance with the Kurds, calling them “no angels” and saying the U.S. “paid a lot of money” for the Syrian Kurdish forces to fight alongside U.S. troops against ISIS.

Trump’s remarks came as a U.S. delegation led by Vice President Mike Pence prepared to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara in an attempt to broker a ceasefire in the region.

“The Kurds are much safer right now, but the Kurds know how to fight, and as I said, they’re not angels. They’re not angels. You take a look… but they fought with us. We paid a lot of money for them to fight with us, and that’s OK,” Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office.

"If Russia wants to get involved with Syria, that’s really up to them. They have a problem with Turkey. They have a problem at a border. It’s not our border, we shouldn’t be losing lives over it,” Trump said later.

Trump has faced tremendous blowback over his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria as Turkey prepared to launch a military operation at the border, including harsh criticism from some of his Republican allies.

Many critics have argued that Trump’s move effectively greenlit Ankara's operation and that the president abandoned Kurdish forces, a key U.S. ally in the fight against ISIS. Turkey has long viewed the Syrian Kurds as a terrorist group.

The decision has also raised concerns about the potential for large numbers of ISIS fighters detained in the region to be released, undoing much of the work by U.S. and other forces to contain the terror group.

Administration officials have rejected the notion that Trump’s decision to pull back troops paved the way for the Turkish operation.

Trump has continued to defend his decision, saying he wants to get the U.S. out of “endless wars.” On Monday, he also announced sanctions on Turkey.

On one hand, "not our problem!" On the other hand, if Turkey doesn't stop, the US will impose sanctions on them. He is even sending his VP and Secretary of State to talk to them to try to get them to stop. Trying to appease both sides. Or can't make up his mind what he really wants. Again.

U.S. military aircraft carried out a “show of force” around the town of Kobani after Turkish-backed fighters came close to American forces, a U.S. official told Reuters. The Turkish-backed fighters dispersed after the show of force, the official said.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence will meet Erdogan on Thursday in Ankara.

“Vice President Pence will reiterate President Trump’s commitment to maintain punishing economic sanctions on Turkey until a resolution is reached,” the White House said in a statement.

After Trump announced a set of sanctions on Monday to punish Ankara, U.S. prosecutors hit Turkey with charges on the majority state-owned Halkbank [HALKB.IS] for taking part in a multibillion-dollar scheme to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran.

Best America-First leader since Abe Lincoln if latest verbal statement got confirmed by actions.

If confirmed, this new policy shift would also puncture conspiracy theories that MAGA was a puppet of globalist Israel-First lobbies and fooling MAGAites with lip service while in actions following agenda of his neoconservative top donor Adelson. Bringing in Turkey would not encourage another Turkey-Iran supported forces civil war in the region as some anti-neocon purists had feared.

This could also help bring back many Right supporters/Alex Jones et al back who had beeen alieanated after last Ivanka inspired Syria bombing (reportedly) by MAGA.
Spread this news everywhere to boost GOP base morale.

Thats not a good comparison imo. Trump is warning us about the MIC when hes never worked for the Government. Eisenhower on the other hand warned us about the MIC, but it doesn't change the fact that he played a role in everything they did during his presidency. Prolonging Korean War, getting us involved in Vietnam, etc. Especially since he was part of it before he even became president. Its like if Woodrow Wilson told us in his farewell address to beware the Federal Reserve, when hes the one that created it.

Since he frequently contradicts himself his statements can't be trusted at all, you have to watch his actions to even guess about his positions or plans.


Part of the issue could be distinguishing deeds from sayings... unless one counts saying something as a deed.

Hopefully his future deeds and latest 2019 sayings will match, his past sayings-deeds chart have been all over the place:

bit in 2017 he sent 5000 more troops to Afghanistan and they are still there.


He said this about Obama:

Saying is different from doing. Remember when Obama refused to bomb Syria after the fake chemical attack? The right and left attacked him for not going through with it.

We're almost certainly now not in a war that we otherwise would have been in had almost any other candidate won.

Trump did do something. He moved troops out of the way of an incoming invasion that wasn't going to be stopped by 50 guys. He took the powder keg away from the neocons and military industrial complex who wanted a US soldier killed in the crossfire so that we'd hop into another war.

He's publicly putting the military industrial complex on notice everywhere he goes right now.

The only alternatives in Syria are not perpetual U.S. presence or the current disaster. Our troops should have come home long ago. The disaster resulted from President Trump’s egotistical, transactional approach. He put the U.S. in a position of weakness by ignoring consequences.

Today’s joint resolution presented precisely the false choice above. That’s why I voted present. Americans don’t want perpetual war, and Congress should vote on war if they believe in it. Nonetheless, we need much better leadership in the White House. President Trump is reckless.

Yes, he moved the troops out of the way but the underlying occupation and intervention is still there. There is no evidence that one solitary troop came home. How can anyone even celebrate this move? Obama also DID not attack Syrian when the neocons were pushing to. One can say that Obama also did something or in the case not do something the neocons were calling for. I did not celebrate that move and I will not be celebrating this one.

It's much more difficult politically, it's not politically expedient. It's just the opposite, and I even have people on my side, They want to fight. I say 'why are we fighting?' 'I don't know'.

President Trump declared Thursday "a great day for civilization" as Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced terms of a cease-fire agreement that would end violence between Turkey (https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/turkey) and Kurds in Syria, following a meeting (https://www.foxnews.com/world/turkey-erdogan-pence-pompeo-syria-snub) with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.
The deal is for a 120-hour cease-fire, during which time the Kurdish-led forces could pull back from the roughly 20-mile-wide safe zone on the Turkish-Syrian border. All Turkish military operations under the recent offensive known as Operation Peace Spring will pause during that time, and the operation itself will come to an end entirely upon the completion of the Kurdish withdrawal, under the terms of the deal.

All fighting will be paused for five days, and the US will help facilitate an "orderly withdrawal" of Kurdish-led troops from what Turkey terms a "safe zone" on the border, Mr Pence said.


Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told journalists the offensive would only be permanently halted when the SDF had left the border zone.

"We are suspending the operation, not halting it," he said. "We will halt the operation only after [Kurdish forces] completely withdraw from the region."

"Lock her up! Lock her up!" he also got people to chant at rallies. Did he lock her up? He says lots of things at rallies he never really does.

Trump went the extra mile to deal with the attacks against him for "abandoning our allies", being a peacemaker isn't bad.

Thank you for the bump!

Trump is the best President of our lifetime. God bless him! I hope and pray he is President for the next 12 years.

Watch for a false flag. Everytime he makes a move toward peace, either violence occurs out of nowhere or the media whips up a fury over something that might happen.


This does not look like Lavon Affair (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?508442-List-of-admitted-false-flag-attacks&p=6861574&viewfull=1#post6861574) type development to stop US exit from mideast. But it was never confirmed apparently who was behind attack on Saudi oil installations protected by advanced Patriot technology.
