Powerful question from Cooper: Will you send American troops back into Northern Syria to protect the Kurds? Lots of bluster from Biden, but no real answer. #DemocraticDebate
Gabbard says Trump has Kurdish blood on his hands, but calls out media for their role in pushing regime change wars. Calls on Warren to join her in opposing Mid East wars. Warren says we should get troops out of Mid East but to do so “the right way.” (aka she’ll keep them there)
Gabbard goes for Buttigieg throat over Mid East commitments, saying he supports endless wars. Buttigeig replies by claiming Trump has shredded the honor of our troops and our nation.
Sanders backs Buttigieg and others by claiming American exit betrayed the Kurds and reined national credibility. The Democrat Party is the war party. #DemocraticDebate
Cooper states that America “abandoned our Kurdish allies,” like they were only at war at our request and not fighting a generational war to carve a Kurdistan out of several existing countries. But nobody has volunteered new American troop deployments yet. #DemocraticDebate
Beto found a way to shoehorn Español into his Syria answer because he’s Beto. #DemocraticDebate
