Trump today said “nothing happened” when he handed 2/3 of ISIS’s former caliphate in Syria to Erdogan and Putin, leaving our partners to fend for themselves, and displacing 200k people fleeing bands of extremists responsible for war crimes. 1/6
Here’s what happened👇washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Trump said “nobody died,” which would come as news to the families of those executed in cold blood as the US military abruptly abandoned its posts on Trump’s orders👇wsj.com/articles/u-s-d…
Trump even said US troops “left [Syria] except we kept the oil” and it “worked out very well.” Does he know US troops 48 HOURS AGO were in a firefight with Syrian regime forces? Here’s a video of the incident👇
The US military statement about the firefight says nothing about “keeping oil” because it knows such a mission would be illegal. Trump has no idea our troops are now forced to navigate checkpoints manned by Syrian and Russian forces on a regular basis.
Bottom Line: We have a commander-in-chief who has NO CLUE what’s going on with US troops under his command and in harm’s way. His own SECDEF consistently says they’re doing something different from what he says they’re doing. This is totally incoherent and dangerous.
