TRUMP, KURDS, SAME VISION

by Wills Sparks

1. The Kurds are not “allies” of the United States. They are dependents. Allies come to your aid just as you come to theirs.

2. Iran and Russia already control Syria, and military occupation of a foreign country won’t eliminate the risk of terrorism at home.

3. US soldiers shouldn’t be asked to fight over land in the Middle East, occupy its unstable countries, and patrol its streets until the region’s powers all become friendly democracies. The American taxpayer shouldn’t be asked to pay for endless commitments to the security of others.

If now is not the moment for withdrawal, then when? US troops have been in Afghanistan for 18 years.

4. The first obligation of the US president is to the American people. Candidate Trump promised he would free the US from never-ending wars in the Middle East, and he intends to keep that promise.
