The US had the Kurds’ back until coward and traitor trump sold them out to erdrogan. Probably to shut erdrogan up about the Kashoggi killing so jarred and Ivanka could get their $2billion “loan” from mbs. It’s a twisted and bitter tale of murder and corruption, that will probably never be invested and punished.

US had some of the Kurdish militias back as long as they were useful to US foreign policy. Kurds are not united, there are many many different factions, which some are on USA’s terrorist list.

This is a common lie that is repeated all the time. Trump never withdrew and maintained a force of about 900 always present.
>There are currently 700 U.S. troops in northeast Syria and 200 in southeast Syria near the Syrian-Jordanian border, the Pentagon said last October, down from a publicly disclosed high of 2,000 in 2018. There is also a small contingent of British special forces.

That doesn't change the fact that our leaving caused major problems for any minorities living there. More than half of our troops left, that's not nothing.
