The War Path That Trump, Ron Paul and Company Chose. Betrayal Of the Kurds

News reports state that an earlier arrangement made between the United States and Turkey meant that certain heavy weapons were taken away from the Kurds, making them even more vulnerable to the present Turkish invasion.

When Ron Paul talks about Americans not engaging in senseless foreign wars, does he not understand the role the United States has played in preventing wars? Why does the U.S. have troops stationed in South Korea and elsewhere? Does he want those troops pulled out?

The small number of American troops that were embedded with the Kurds, one of the most reliable allies the United States had, were not at war. They were, in fact, helping keep the peace.

This is not the same as the American invasion of Iraq, or U.S. involvement in Libya.

The United States has played an important role in keeping the peace and preventing war. Ron Paul isolationists do not understand this.

The Kurds were a U.S. ally. Notice this is written in the past tense. Betraying an ally and leaving them to be slaughtered like sheep is what Trump, Ron Paul and their ilk provided.

Perhaps Kim Jong-un will pick up the phone and call Trump, letting him know that he will invade South Korea and that Trump should remove all American troops.
