TURKEY - KURDS: DON'T BLAME TRUMP

If President Trump is to be held accountable for Erdogan's invasion of the Kurds... if the removal of 1,000 U.S. troops was that vital to the equation... then why didn't we have 50,000 troops there with air and missile support?  

Another way to look at it: What if Trump had intelligence that Turkey was going to conduct the invasion whether we were there or not?  That probably would have led to the killing of some of our 1,000 troops.  Then what?  We'd likely be in another full-scale conflict in the Middle East. 

I support the removal of the 1,000 troops and trust in the judgement of the man who has the intelligence resources available to him with which to make that decision.
