Thread: Zero soldiers were withdrawn from Syria

  1. #1

    Zero soldiers were withdrawn from Syria

    They were just moved around within the country.
    in b4 shylls
    "Despite continued misreporting to the contrary, Secretary Esper and Chairman Milley were consulted over the last several days by the President regarding the situation and efforts to protect U.S. forces in northern Syria in the face of military action by Turkey.

    The Department's position has been and remains that establishing a safe zone in northern Syria is the best path forward to maintaining stability.

    Unfortunately, Turkey has chosen to act unilaterally. As a result we have moved the U.S. forces in northern Syria out of the path of potential Turkish incursion to ensure their safety. We have made no changes to our force presence in Syria at this time."

    Yes because immediately publishing all your troop movements for your enemies is such a great idea smh
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    Have to admit my guess was wrong and thought few days ago that even spot move was unlikely.

    Wrong, if Trump wanted war with Iran he could have started one twice.
    We will leave before war erupts, nobody will start a war with us and Trump won't start any new wars.

    Defending what?

    I have no love for Turkey but I refuse to advocate that we should go to war against them for the Kurds who are little better.

    No troops have left and none are moving in that direction..

    Regime Change is still ongoing,, Though the ISIS attempt failed.

    a shift in game plan,, is all this is.

    The troops will leave and they were just pulled out of the way of a war, this is yet another war Trump has declined to start.
    And you are focused on portraying Trump as bad for not starting a war with Turkey while in another thread you advocate for allowing Turkey to send terrorists to invade Europe.

    I would welcome troops leaving .. I believe the Clown is Lying...

    I expect escalation,,, I don't welcome it..

    I expect someone to provoke Iran into retaliation. simply because that has been a long term goal.

    And I expect the mouthy Clown to Bully his way through it,, at our expense.

    Turkey said "we are coming in and attacking the Kurds, get out of the way or we will attack you too", Trump got out of the way instead of trying to stop them.

    Trump will pull the troops out and bring them home.
