    Brett McGurk Retweeted Bloomberg

    Will @POTUS stand up for American personnel deployed in Syria on his orders? Or is he looking for an excuse to pull them all out? A Turkish attack will increase risks to our people, fracture the SDF, and enable ISIS’s resurgence. Clear picture.https://twitter.com/business/status/1180439270802284544?s=21 …

    Brett McGurk added,

    Turkey is ready to start a military operation in northern Syria to retake areas from American-backed Kurdish forces and may act “as soon as today or tomorrow,” President Erdogan said on Saturday https://bloom.bg/2pJ0NMg

        Oh how I miss professionalism and common sense in DC. As a military family who has had a loved 1 protected by @cmoc_sdf it's military code of honor to protect those who protect ours. Stop @RTErdogan from attacking the only fighting force to stand up to #ISIS protect our partner's

        so what was the point of the "safe zone" was that just a ploy to get them to take down SDF fortifications? Same shit different day with Edrogan.

        I hope he is able to provide some assistance to the Kurds. They need our help and Turkey is not our friend. It’s also not our battle. The Kurds and the Turks who stood up to Erdogan need to persevere.

        What about #ISIS elements who are held in #SDF prisons. Will Anyone blame #Syrian Democratic Forces if they release them when Turkey incur?

        No, they won’t release them but they will be at risk as they won’t have enough people to secure the camps as they will be too busy fighting in the north

        What he needs to clearly communicate to [former] NATO "ally" is that we're not going anywhere, and war on the Kurds risks war with us, so Erdogan better back the f--- off, or we'll have his head on a pike within 60 days. THAT's how a "superpower" avoids war, not by sucking d---s.
