Turkey opens ground assault on Syria's Kurds; U.S. Republicans turn on Trump

AKCAKALE, Turkey (Reuters) - Turkish troops and their Syrian rebel allies attacked Kurdish militia in northeast Syria on Wednesday, pounding them with air strikes and artillery before starting a cross-border ground operation that could transform an eight-year-old war.

The assault began days after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled American troops out of the way, prompting denunciations from senior members of his own Republican Party who say he abandoned the Syrian Kurds, loyal allies of Washington.

...

Trump called the Turkish assault a “bad idea” and said he did not endorse it. He expected Turkey to protect civilians and religious minorities and prevent a humanitarian crisis, he said.

Whewie...its a "bad idea" Don?? Really??? Were you the only one in the entire world who didn't see this one coming?You? The one with the SUPREME intellect and "chosen one" status???

BTW....still waiting for all those Chinese troops to attack Hong Kong.
