the president is attempting to use the threat of turkey to force the kurds to approach assad for a deal for their protection similar to the one they had prior to the civil war

Trump just got completely rolled by the Turkish president. The best negotiator, indeed.

Turkey’s pro-government dominated media hailed the cease-fire agreement as a clear win for Erdogan. “Great Victory” read Yeni Safak’s banner headline. “Turkey got everything it wanted.” Sabah newspaper headlined: “We won both on the field and on the (negotiating) table.”

that deal would allow US forces to quit occupying syria and would bring alot more stability to the region, the kurds need assad to protect them from turkey (like he used to) and that reality would force them to quit agitating for an independent communist nation state within syria

i guess we did settle the right to self determination question

Erdogan says Turkey will take necessary steps against Trump's 'disrespectful' letter.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Donald Trump’s recent letter to him broke with “diplomatic and political courtesy.” It emerged on Thursday that he reacted angrily to the letter, throwing it in the bin and commencing the military offensive, which has left dozens of civilians dead and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Trump also told him he could make a “great deal” with General Mazloum Kobani, leader of the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the Kurdish-led militia that is allied with Washington in the fight against Isis. Erdogan said he was offended by the suggestion that he would meet with Gen. Mazloum Kobani.

Trump refers to "the ultimate solution" for Kurds bordering Turkey in northern Syria, one day after saying about the region that Turkey "had to have it cleaned out."

Some come home, 3000 more go to Saudi. The only thing we trade is our credibility as an ally, the lives of the Syrian Kurds that have fought alongside us, handing Russia the grand prize of their Middle East strategy on a silver platter, and sowing the seeds for a rebirth of ISIS.

Also does anyone remember the time Erdogan had Turkish security personnel savagely beat American protestors in Washington D.C. and get his rivals extradited? Yeah lets give that guy more influence and power over the lives of millions of our allies he calls insects.

"Are you ready?" he asked reporters outside the White House. "Saudi Arabia at my request has agreed to pay us for everything we are doing. That is a first. Saudi Arabia, and other countries soon now, but Saudi Arabia has agreed to pay us for everything we are doing to help them."
