I'm conflicted by this latest move also know the full details are obscured by the media no doubt.
We wouldn't be there in the first place if not due to the total incompetence of the prior admin who attempted to arm the "moderate" rebels as if there was such a thing in that region. We never should have been there in the first place and Trump did run on getting 'Muricans out of these forever wars created by prior admins, and unlike that last bunch for decades on decades, actually appears to be following through with what he ran on. Is the timing wrong? I don't know.
I think we should support the Kurds as best we can, but we're not the police or rulers of the region either. We could offer the Kurds CAS if the Turks attack, but the Turks are also supposed to be allies and such (they aint, but that's another topic...) but for obvious reasons, bombing the Turks would be bad mojo.
Is this the right/wrong time to leave? If not now, when?
"Turkey has launched its military operation in northern Syria, with airstrikes hitting the border towns of Ras al Ain and Tell Abaid.
Turkish president Tayyip Recep Erdogan confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "Our aim is to destroy the terror corridor which is trying to be established on our southern border and to bring peace and peace to the region.
"With Peace Spring Operation, we will eliminate the terrorist threat to our country. Thanks to the SAFE ZONE we will establish, we will ensure that Syrian refugees return to their countries."
