Sorry for being so lazy but I’m lazy. Anyway, the various tribes and factions in the Middle East have been fighting each other for centuries. The Turks and the Kurds have been fighting for decades if not centuries. The Sunnis and the Shiites have been fighting each other for centuries. Likewise the Jews and the Muslims. And everyone and the Israelis. If oil hadn’t been discovered there, no one would give a damn. Now that we are energy independent, there is no reason for us to be there spending blood and treasure to intervene in their centuries old disputes.

Now with respect to the Kurds, they aren’t our allies. We had a common enemy in ISIS, which wouldn’t exist except for Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq, and so we worked together to defeat a common enemy. The only real ally we have in the Middle East is Israel.

Trump was right to withdraw our troops. How many of your kids would you be willing to sacrifice to briefly postpone war between historic enemies. And please keep in mind that one Kurdish faction, the PKK, is a communist group that we and more than 20 other countries have declared to be a terrorist organization. And they are the group that Turkey is concerned about. So let’s get real, all the outraged people are either Dems who are outraged by anything Trump does or part of the military industrial complex who want constant fighting to line their pockets. After all it’s not their kids in harms way. It’s the children of the deplorables who are expendable so they can make money.
