The kurds lost their homeland in Syria which they fought for with US forces in the battle agaist Isis, losing 11 thousand of their men and women. Tonight they were sold out by Trump who says he saved millions of lives. It will be remembered by the kurds as the greatest betrayal.

They put boots on the ground, so the US didn't have to. They fought with the US against ISIS and others in different theaters over a decade. And when they needed the US to help them against an aggressive state. One man decided against all other calls, to let them get slaughtered.
Defending your own territory doesn't count as "putting boots on the ground", as if Kurdistan is a million miles from Raqqa. They're not Canada or Australia volunteering to go across the Atlantic and help Britain in the World Wars. They're a badger defending its' den.

Yes it is. They moved people from defensive positions to help the US. The US promise to keep troops in and no fly zone so Turkey won't do what they wanted, to kill of Kurds. It was all about the US not having to have large number in the fight. And it worked, up to that point.

There were MULTIPLE countries in that coalition to fight ISIS. Not just the US. where are they during this situation? France..Britain..Italy..Germany..and many more. Where are they? They had just as much at stake in the ISIS situation.

We had an alliance with them. We were partners. Trump consulted no one before he threw them to the wolves. They found out about his plan overnight via Twitter. He left our own military in a dangerous position with no plan for a safe exit. He has blood on his hands forever.

Weirdly, the dangerous position they were left in has cost us zero lives thus far. That's not exactly a lot of blood, nothing compared to the endless gallons of it spilled by Bush in Iraq or Obama in his failed attempt to get rid of Assad.

This isn't complicated. We made a promise. We broke it on a whim with no time for our sworn allies to prepare. Our word now means nothing and we are totally without honor bc this President does not see intrinsic worth in the lives of people who don't exist to boost him personally
-
Who the hell is "we"? Who is entitled to make a permanent, informal promise that will transcend all future administrations and possibilities? We gave these people hundreds of million of dollars in equipment, blasted their enemies to smithereens, and we owe THEM? No.
