These are the people in charge of what happens to the Kurds and the ISIS fighters captured by the US, the Kurds and its allies.

And Trump lied about bringing troops home. No one has come home. They have been moved around the Middle East, that's all.

"Russia, Iran, Syria, and to maybe a slightly lesser extent, Turkey, they all hate ISIS as much as we do. And it's their part of the world. We're 7,000 miles away. I campaigned on bringing our soldiers back home, and that's what I'm doing."
Lies. Not true. No troops are coming home. The ones that were in Syria are being moved to Iraq. And more troops are moving in to the area to protect Saudia Arabia.
But, you know, we're in many countries, many, many countries. I--I'm embarrassed to tell you how many. I know the exact number, but I'm embarrassed to say it because it's so foolish. We're in countries--we're protecting countries that don't even like us. They take advantage of us. They don't pay; nothing.
So what has Trump done about this embarrassment in three years? Has sent even more troops over seas. There are more than 200,000 troops currently over seas.

Hopefully people are looking at facts, not what comes out of Trump's mouth.

They are being "taken care of" by Putin's troops. Such a disgrace - we have lost all credibility with allies and our word as a nation means nothing.
Russia, Turkey agree to jointly remove Kurdish fighters along Turkey’s border in northern Syria
Russia agreed on Tuesday to help remove Syrian Kurdish fighters from a large swath of Turkey’s southern border, giving its blessing to a Turkish military operation against a Kurdish-led force that had allied with the United States.

The agreement, reached after an hours-long meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi, addressed several of Turkey’s core security demands, including the establishment of a “safe zone” that would push the Kurdish-led force back from its frontier.

I'm distrustful of RT.

True. But I don't see anything here that isn't true. It's been reported everywhere else too.

"And on Tuesday, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia played host to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey for more than six hours of talks on how they and other regional players will divide control of Syria, devastated by eight years of civil war.

The negotiations cemented Mr. Putin’s strategic advantage: Russian and Turkish troops will take joint control over a vast swath of formerly Kurdish-held territory in northern Syria. The change strengthens the rapid expansion of Russian influence in Syria at the expense of the United States and its Kurdish former allies."

That picture with Putin, the Russian on the right who Trump bragged to in the White House that he just fired the head of FBI, the Turkish dictator. These are the people in charge of what happens to the Kurds and captured ISIS war criminals.

I also want to say that we are emotionally destroying our troops that served along side the Kurds. I'm not talking about the shame of being pelted with rotten tomatoes when they were leaving. I'm talking about the shame of abandoning their brothers and sisters in arms.
