Trump Green Lights Turkey For Syria Invasion. [WTF moment for Kurds]

[Jpost] Trump gives green light to Turkey to takeover Syria, displace U.S. partners
For four years the US and mostly Kurdish fighters in eastern Syria have fought and defeated Islamic State in northeast Syria. On October 6 the White House decided to give the green light to a Turkish invasion of the same area to defeat to displace the partner forces the US had been working with. For more than a year and a half US President Donald Trump has been seeking to leave Syria. In the midst of the impeachment crisis he has now made the decision not to pressure Ankara diplomatically, but to sacrifice other US allies in the war on ISIS.
Well, earlier this year Trump did promise to destroy Turkey if they harmed the allies. Let's see this play out. Maybe Erdogan was just told that.
According to a statement from the White House press secretary Trump spoke to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the US says that "Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria." The US will not support the operation and the US claims it has defeated the ISIS "caliphate," so it is mission accomplished in terms of what the US initially went to Syria to do. This is the logic by which Washington has decided to act in the face of a year of Ankara&'s threats to takeover eastern Syria.
Maybe whether Trump aims to let Yipyip put his money where his mouth is. Or maybe the intention is to let Iran and Turkey fight over it. In either case it turns out badly I imagine. I can't understand the move, other than simple economics as a rationale. | Read the rest of this at the Jerusalem Post.
