Romney, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse ... "Unwise", "Betrayal", "Bad Decision".

"Prominent lawmakers in both parties admonished the White House on Monday for its controversial decision to allow Turkey to invade northern Syria and potentially wipe out U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters, with Republican hawks and moderates joining with Democrats to blast the move."

"“This is a terribly unwise decision by the president to abandon our Kurdish allies, who have been our major partner in the fight against the lslamic State,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told POLITICO. Frequent Trump critic Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) also denounced the maneuver as “a betrayal” which communicates to allies abroad that the U.S. is an unreliable partner. And Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) warned the administration's “bad decision will likely result in the slaughter of allies who fought with us, including women and children.”"
 
Message to all other allies of the USA: Do not trust in the USA. We cannot be trusted. Our word is meaningless. We have no more credibility than our shiftless leader.
 
The departure of US forces, and the concurrent loss of essential air cover they provided, will leave Damascus and Moscow with a gentle choice between striking a political deal with the Syrian Kurds, or just wearing them down with military pressure until they fall in the face of superior Russian firepower. cnn
 
Hello Darth,

So, how long do we babysit the Kurds?

Just like any baby sitting responsibility, until the responsibility is fulfilled.

When was it ever written that Syria would be easy?

With such dedication to allies as Trump is showing, we'd all be speaking German.

Sit down and be quiet, America hating Iolo sock and we may continue to provide your pissy little country a nuclear umbrella.

We know you hate America, we aren’t too fond of you either.

Sorry - I thought you were a Yank. I'm afraid I'm not too fond of English, Sais.

I am a "Yank" (if you're referring to me being a North American).
Still, that doesn't have anything to do with you not making any sense.

I called you a stupid foreigner.
As usual, you socialist, liberal, progressive types have to bring race into the discussion. Why is that?

Why don't you ask your Mommy to tell you something about the world, if she knows? I was suggesting, you silly Mexican, that it was time you learned something about the outside world, put, I supposed, in the language you understood. I expect, nowadays, you are more into anti-homosexual or anti-female terminology. Ah well - difficult to keep up with your fascist fashions, I'm afraid! :)

I am not Mexican (are you again trying to use race/ethnicity as an insult?), I am Caucasian (that means white, stupid foreigner).
You're steadily digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole of absurdity, why must you continue to exhibit your lunacy?

Here:

"Step 1: Life is full of suffering.
Principle: Honesty

In the First Noble Truth, the Buddha said life is full of suffering (dukkha). Dukkha arises out of ignorance, which leads to thoughts, which lead to consciousness, which generate feelings, that generate desires or cravings, which create grasping or attachment, which create the condition of dukkha. Step One is the process of recognizing this Truth. Buddha said we should respond to this Truth by seeing it clearly, not shying away from the pain, but understanding the cause(s) of our suffering. Buddha recognized that even in our moments of fulfillment we are grasping toward more."

When we are honest with ourselves and our allies, we do not abandon our allies when they face overwhelming destructive forces.
