General Wesley Clark, the former commander of all NATO forces, has suggested that Turkish President Recep TayyipErdoğan blackmailed President Donald Trump in order to get him to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.

The highly-respected Clark was also very critical. He said that U.S. allies in the Middle East have been openly wondering if Erdogan coerced Trump in some way.

I can tell you that people around the world are asking this. And some of our friends and our allies in the Middle East are asking:

‘Well, did Erdogan blackmail the president? Was there a payoff or something? Why would a guy make a decision like this?’” - PoliticusUSA

You guys make me laugh

Will you volunteer to fight in Syria?

Send your kids? Your grandkids?

Or are you just a ChickenHawk?

Funny when Trump was inaugurated all you did was wring your hands that he would launch us into wars.

Get the irony dumb fuck?

Is this the new conspiracy theory, Alex Jones?

Wesley Clark is not on that level. He is a highly respected and experienced military man.

I don't like Wesley Clark.. IMO he's a grandstanding poseur.

I also don't believe Trump is being blackmailed by Erdogan.. I think withdrawing from Syria is just a political stunt to take the attention off Mueller and the Wall.

If Trump was being blackmailed, this is what it would look like.

I just think he does what the last person he’s on the phone with advises him to do. He heard Erdogan’s ideas and thought, People will like me if I pull the troops from Syria. He’s always looking for ways to be loved. He always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. He knew it would cause chaos.

Wesley Kanne Clark, Sr. (born December 23, 1944) is a retired General of the United States Army. He graduated as valedictorian of the class of 1966 at West Point and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the University of Oxford, where he obtained a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. He later graduated from the Command and General Staff College with a master's degree in military science. He spent 34 years in the U.S. Army, receiving many military decorations, several honorary knighthoods, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Clark commanded Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo War during his term as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997 to 2000.
Clark joined the 2004 race for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as a candidate in 2003, but withdrew from the primary race in 2004, after winning the Oklahoma state primary, endorsing and campaigning for the eventual Democratic nominee, John Kerry. Clark leads a political action committee, "WesPAC", which he formed after the 2004 primaries[1][2] and used to support Democratic Party candidates in the 2006 midterm elections.[3] Clark was considered a potential candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2008, but, on September 15, 2007, endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton.[4] After Clinton dropped out of the presidential race, Clark endorsed the then-presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama.[5] Clark served as a co-chairman of Growth Energy, an ethanol lobbying group,[6][7] and is on the board of directors of BNK Petroleum.[8] Between July 2012 and November 2015, he was an honorary special advisor to Romanian prime minister Victor Ponta on economic and security matters.[9][10]

You that simple? The military advisers were against leaving, at least like that. His top Syrian adviser was against it. We have ageements with factions and people we have been fighting with and training. Yeah, just pack up and go.
I am a pacifist and antiwar, but I see that our word has to have meaning. But with Trump, our word is temporary and worthless. It changes on Daffy's whims and what Fox Gnus says. We are burning up allies and understandings for what? Trumps moods?

There is no US exit strategy that does not involve propping up Assad. Yes I am that simple. I don't support propping up third world dictators. Your Kenyan God and his Bottle Blond fucked up. There is no point perpetuating the fuck up. "Agreements with factions" is laughable. Trump inherited the same two options that Obama left him--it is either ISIS or the Dictator.

Kenyan god? WTF how stupid are you? Wars distill down to soldiers fighting. They are not part of some grand purpose. They follow orders and fight. The mission is to survive. When you fight with people that creates a strong bond. The soldiers we fought with will view this as a betrayal and shows the US is unreliable. With Trump long and short term pacts have no meaning. They are altered by a tweet. Our long term allies are waiting anxiously for Trump to quit in disgrace.
