How exactly would the U.S. “remove” Kurds from Northern Syria? This is outrageous and harkens back to darker days.

Erdogan: you either let us do the ethnic cleansing, or do it yourself. We don’t care. We just want the Kurds gone.

I can’t be any clearer than that.

Trump’s been given his marching orders from Erdogan and Putin, and he’s now slow walking because our enough of the Defense Department isn’t down with ethnic cleansing or war crimes.
