This goes back to our flawed invasion of Iraq, which eventually created ISIS. The Kurds have been our loyal allies in fighting ISIS. We let them stick their necks out and have now left them there to get cut.

Trump said one time that he could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and his base would stay with him.  

What he has done to the Kurds is so shameful and despicable, selling them to their enemies, basically for nothing in return, he's basically stepped back and allowed a mass murder to occur.  The Kurds have been our boots on the ground in the war against ISIS.  They have taken thousands and thousands of casualties doing our dirty work for us.  And now Trump, without warning anyone, or even telling anyone in his own administration, has given the Turks permission to go into Syria and kill the Kurds.  There was no good reason for him to do this.  

This is one of the most shameful acts in American history.  Why would anyone ever ally themselves with us after this?  We can no longer be trusted to keep our word to our friends.  

Do you remember Braveheart, when Robert the Bruce promised William Wallace that he would bring his knights to the battle against the English?  And then when the battle started, and the English attacked, Robert the Bruce and his knights just turned and left the battlefield?  That's us.  We sold out our allies with no warning.  It's despicable.  There's no defense for it.
