President Donald Trump vowed on Sunday to devastate Turkey’s economy if it targets Kurdish populations in northern Syria as the U.S. withdraws its forces (in other words, if Turkey fucks up), and called for a 20-mile safe zone between the Turkish border and U.S.-allied fighters.
The president on Twitter also called upon America’s Kurdish allies not to provoke Turkey, and said U.S. forces were continuing to fight Islamic State militants in Syria. Trump made it clear to the world in the tweets below.
“Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone….” Trump tweeted.
“….Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria – natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!“
