Hot off the press: Kurds save themselves by allying with Assad.
So T rump basically gave our former allies (the only ones fit for combat enough in that whole region, to take down ISIS with our support) he basically has given the Kurds to his boyfriend Vladimir Pootin.
A lot of the imprisoned ISIS fighters have disappeared. Hopefully not all of them will get away.
If T rump had not made this horrible decision so impulsively, some of the bad results could have been avoided, by organizing a way to safety for the Kurds to voluntarily retreat, before abandoning them. AND the management of the ISIS prisoners could have been addressed. But no, T rump’s self vaunted wisdom must be beyond our understanding cause he didn’t pause for such things. But it seems like bad things are happening, now.
So eventually, supposedly, (tho T rump is a liar so who knows) we will get our troops out of Syria, but not yet. That is what we get from the deal. Assad and Pootin get the Kurds (that’s like drafting the #1 pick). Turkey got permission and a pass to bomb and destroy the Kurds. This could just be T rump sending honorariums to his 3 of his favorite autocrats.
