11,000 Kurds died fighting ISIS alongside US troops.

They are our close friends & allies.

In a stunning illogical change of policy Trump is abandoning them to genocide.

It is NOT in US interest to do so. It is in Russia’s interest. It’s that simple.
“I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul,” Trump said last year.

THIS IS WHY PRESIDENTS MUST DIVEST OF PERSONAL FINANCIAL INTERESTS BEFORE TAKING OFFICE.

Abandoning the Kurds is a geopolitical betrayal (It's in Russia's interest, NOT US interest).

It's a betrayal of democracy (It's in Trump's personal financial interest, NOT US interest)

But there's also just the utter cowardice, the lack of honor in leaving a close ally to die.
