Worthy read. I disagree on some of the criticism but otherwise a good summary of how we got to this point with the Kurds/Turks in Syria. Spoiler: @POTUS didn’t start the fire. (1/5)
Our alliance with Kurds in Syria was never going to end well. @BarackObama made a mistake bumbling in, leaving President Trump to correct Obama’s mistake. Also true: Turkish forces are making a huge mistake of their own threatening US troops and giving ISIS space to regroup (2/5)
All of the crocodile tears on the left blaming President Trump for Turkey’s Syrian incursion are so immensely hypocritical. We must, and @POTUS will, hold Turkey to account for its actions, but President Trump knows permanent US occupation is not the answer. (3/5)
What’s clear is the left only cares about civilian deaths if they can invent a way to blame @realDonaldTrump. This year US/Afghan forces killed more civilians than the Taliban, but the left saved their outrage for when the President worked to *negotiate peace* at Camp David (4/5)
@POTUS will need strong allies to see this goal through and check the bipartisan lust for forever war. I’m running for Congress to help President Trump end the endless wars and bring our troops home. (5/5)
