Twenty mile safe zone??? Safe for whom? Safe for
#Erdogan
to murder Innocents and pursue ethnic cleansing as he has in
#Afrin
,
#Jarablus
, and Al-Bab? This is a horrible betrayal of your word from just ten months ago.
#StandWithSDC
Erdogan isn’t a NATO ally or any kind of ally...We should be withdrawing U.S. forces from Turkey, and leaving them in Northeastern Syria.

Reports co-head of Syrian Future Party Hevrin Khalaf killed on the road by Turkish artillery strike. I am trying to get more info. She was a very strong female politician. I interviewed her once in Ain al Issa.
If the US allows Turkey a "safe zone" in N.E. Syria, the only people who will be safe are the the thugs of
#Erdogan
. There's no excuse to abandon N.E. Syria to Turk aggression like in
#Afrin
. Brave allies like
@PolatCanRojava
and
@SyriacMFS
and
@SDF_Press_1
deserve better.
@realDonaldTrump
Seriously? This is like a laundry list of nations who've oppressed and murdered the Kurds. Now if we give our word and then betray it, we can join the crowd. Never going is an argument, breaking our word, allowing the predictable slaughter? Shameful.

If

takes Ain al Issa, Kobani will be under siege again. Straight back to the time when

besieged Kobani.
This time it will be Jihadists supported with Turkish

@RealDonaldTrump
hosted a meeting at the White House w/ members of Congress w/ so-called “expertise” on Syria policy and didn't invite the only member who'd been to Raqqa, Deir Az-Zour, Manbij, & Hassakah, w/in the last month & met with SDC leaders (at his own expense). Me.
If I weren't watching us roll over and hand our loyal allies and the folks who rolled up ISIS with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. This is the WORST foreign policy mistake of the Trump Presidency.

All of your closest advisors with expertise on the actual situation on the ground in Northeastern Syria agree. Like myself, they feel very strongly that withdrawal of our modest-but essential- military presence is a grave mistake that will have

letter to

urging him to reconsider his dangerous position of American troop withdrawal in

Please see last night's floor speech regarding my recent trip to Syria/Iraq detailing what I learned on the ground about the religious persecution and atrocities in the region:
Sanctions are the tip of the iceberg.

's withdraw of turkish forces from ALL of

AND

. Close all US facilities are in Turkey...

Lots of changes for the better since I've made the decisions I've made in the last year.
As an aside, it turns out I am a much better fisherman when I'm not drinking!
Blessings to all!
Aside from the fact that the SDF also includes Arabs and Christians as well as brave Kurdish fighters (and others), Rosen absolutely nails it here. Read and share!

is a real threat also ask yourself why the US once funded groups like Al Sham and Al Nusra.

She is absolutely spot on. And Turkey has already admitted as much in saying they want to resettle 1,000,000 Arabs who've never lived in the area to Rojava. That's hubris.
