There should be world-wide shunning of all parties involved, including us, until this genocide is brought to a halt. If more economic pressure were put on russia, maybe that would make some difference. This will leave a seriously ugly mark on the US for a long time.

Trump’s crazy decision to give Erdogan a green light to commit genocide against the Kurds needs to be protested loud and clear every day. I will be calling my senators tomorrow, though both are useless Republicans. Cornyn is up for reelection so he might listen. My House representative is even more useless since he only comes awake when someone mentions tax breaks for car dealers, which is his primary occupation.

Afraid to stand up to Trump are responsible for! They could already have removed him!
But because they are afraid of their constituents not re-electing them, they've stayed silent. They and their red-state, Republican constituents are damnable, ignorant a$$holes!! Pretend Christians. Evangelicals. Racists. Deplorables needing something to hate.

I'm livid.

Rape and murder is OK with Trump. We don't see any wrecking of any country's economy happening. Is this the green light for it to start here in this country?

at a Saudi embassy in Turkey.

Also we are well aware of Trump's bragging about his own sexual assaults. He has his own rape accusers (multiple).

dead babies didn't do it, children in concentration camps in our country hasn't done it, he's a rapist himself and he probably wishes he could just kill someone in public and get away with. WE have to stop him ourselves. The rape and murder, with his blessing, of a brown-skinned woman doesn't upset this bastard so we will have to make sure that we unite in our demand for him to be removed from office, tried and convicted, then handed over to The Hague after we get done with him.

and he is responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Let's face it, the United States loves killin folks, especially when they aren't like us... gud white christian like folks... We aren't going to get that orange bag of diarrhea out of office by any legal means no matter how many people die and no matter how many laws he has broken.

Trump has burned this bridge for a very long time. Good luck to any future US president trying to get allies to trust us again.

Turkish Erdogan supporters are right wing authoritarian types filled with hate, kind of like Trump supporters but more extreme.

Do you hate the religious fanatics? Do you hate the oligarchs that empower and use them? Do you hate the religious fanatics that empower ingnorance? Do you hate the projection they all use to hoodwink the ignorant and ethically deficient? Do you hate the narcissistic sociopathy that breeds and flourishes under the banner of righteouness?

This is madness:

To allow the anihilation of a people who have fought for our interests for generations and toss them aside to argue the need for defense of a nonexistent threat at our borders.

To loose atrocities on our friends to placate despots and make a buck.

Do you hate them yet?

I'd have a hard time saying, "with all my heart" since I reserve more of my heart for other emotions. But they do deserve our persistant wrath and the ultimate erasure of their fanatical ideology.

There is a vocal majority of Trump supporters who love seeing this. They think that all women should be silenced and they want US Christian Law to rule the land where women aren’t allowed to voice their opinions.

While they wouldn’t rape and stone someone themselves, they get a charge out of this because it sends a message to other women that they should be quiet and be subservient to men.

Start reinforcing the Greco-Turkish border. Get ready for invasion of Turkish Thrace. We may need to push the Turks off from the European continent.

They connect the Asia side of Turkey to Turkish occupied Thrace (Europe). If they don’t withdraw from Syria, they should “lose” both of those bridges.
