1) Trump gave Turkey green light to invade Syria & attack the Kurds
2) Turkey did that & allegedly committed mass atrocities along the way
3) Turkey has now agreed to a short ceasefire, but it's unclear where remaining Kurds can flee to
4) Trump is now touting this as a major win

This is a great day for civilization. I am proud of the United States for sticking by me in following a necessary, but somewhat unconventional, path. People have been trying to make this Deal for many years. Millions of lives will be saved. Congratulations to ALL!

(25,111 posts)bad deals, I mean really bad deals and the recent ones have caused numerous deaths, besides the Kurds, the Ukrainians as well.
This deal will further kill Kurds. Monsters in this fucked up WH and Republican party.

(24,438 posts)1. Create a problem that either didn't exist or if it did, exacerbate it with poorly thought out "solutions" or ideas and recklessly implement them with little or no consultation with people whom might know better.
2. When things start to go bad, ignore it or minimize it, attack the critics, basically do anything other than addressing the problem and/or acknowledging responsibility for it.
3. "Solve" the problem or find some way to address it that makes things not so bad
4. Declare victory and pretend that he deserves high praise for fixing his f**kups
