This will hurt the Kurds especially hard, but add even more instability into a region that has little. Lebanon, Israel, Jordan all within the scope of this.
Maybe Mattis is concerned about leaving for fear of what traitor might replace him. It is tiring to think of those MAGAts like my brother who mistake physical size for supremacy, who think that someone who is small in statue cannot dominate a larger person. Trump in every way (except weight and height) is the smallest, most fearful, most petty “leader” the electoral college has ever selected. He is a weak, little man.
