    Trump may actually be on the cusp of creating on the worst national security crises of our time by - albeit inadvertently - fuelling the very circumstances in which all these ISIS prisoners escape. It’s absolutely astonishing.https://twitter.com/Josiensor/status/1181107493071720448 …

    I'd love to know what this smooth transition of control of ISIS prisons in northern Syria from the Kurds to Turks would look like. 🤔

        Release from detention in Camp Bucca produced fighters who were more brazen, daring and committed precisely because they realised the hopelessness of their situation (hence the move to Abu Bakr Naji’s doctrine). What do we expect released ISIS detainees to do if freed now?

        I don't see any substance to this. Freed IS prisoners won't bother the Americans because they will have left the area. If they release them it's local people who will fall victims. Why spend years and lives fighting them just to release them?

        it's not inadvertent, sowing chaos in the non-christian world is implicit US policy, and in trump's case, a new war in the middle east distracts from his other crimes
