#ISIS is back in the news.
Remember: In 2019, Trump suddenly withdrew US forces from Syria. He betrayed America's Kurdish allies, who had lost 11,000 soldiers fighting against ISIS. He left our brothers in arms to be beheaded by Erdoğan's jihadists, and he left thousands of ISIS prisoners to escape. "Five years of work—undone."
Why did Trump do it? What did he get in return?
Nothing. He did it because he's Erdoğan's bitch, and Erdoğan told him to.
