    Hard to exaggerate the anger in Washington over this one foreign policy decision. The #Kurds who were tip of the spear in US backed fight against #ISIS now being bombed by Turkish forces as @realDonaldTrump orders US military to stand downhttps://wapo.st/2APSu3x?tid=ss_tw …

        It is difficult to get your head around why he would do this but that could be said about many of his decisions. The Kurds being hung out to dry though is shocking.

        Trump will do anything and sacrifice anyone to take the spotlight away from the impeachment processes.

        This sort of thing (abandoning allies) happens again and again, when 'powers' get involved in wars elsewhere. UK has done stuff like this too. It is shameful and incredible that it happens at all, never mind more than once.
