This sounds like the President just signed off on a Turkish invasion of northern Syria, &that US will get out of way to let them do as they will. And then passive aggressive comments attacking NATO allies. Likely the first of a lot of acting out as the President gets desperate. pic.twitter.com/yNVlESS5Sf

Here is what Defense Secretary Mark Esper said just two days ago about the “security mechanism” safe zone in Syria that Trump has tonight abandoned. Esper said he & Turkish defense minister were on same page about it—their respective heads of state clearly are on a different one. pic.twitter.com/ybm1ac6eq5

President Trump is about to make major, consequential mistake in Syria. Sources say US is tonight informing its Syrian Kurdish allies that US is withdrawing from positions on Turkish border, abandoning so-called “security mechanism,” to allow an invasion by Turkish forces…

In Syria (and in Ukraine), Trump basically switched which side we were on in a war. He switched us to the Russian side. Counter to America’s interest, over and over, he does what’s best for Russia. (1/x)

This is why presidents divest. It is crazy that a president is making national security decisions like the one tonight when he has lucrative business relationships at stake in the country that will benefit. https://t.co/uIrT6vl2BA

Which is why, when Ukraine elected a new president, the Trump administration's response was to deploy Rick Perry. Perry attended Zelensky's inauguration, along with Sondland and Sen.
