Trump Arms Kurdish Allies After US Pulls Out of Syria
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft December 23, 2018

Last week Trump shocked many with his announcement that the mission was won in Syria against ISIS and he would pull out the 2,000 US troops there.

Democrats, their mainstream media and neocons were outraged.

General Mattis resigned in disgust.

But Trump did assist the Kurdish fighters in Derik and Qamishi Syria.
He sent them 150 truckloads of weapons to defend themselves from ISIS and Turkish forces.

I saw this morning though as well, that Marines may be collecting weapons of the Kurds, "Marines' Honor" or something. They can not allow weapons to fall into dangerous hands. They are obliged to collect them. Isn't that what we were doing in Benghazi... so there are counter stories out there.

Some of those Kurds, one faction, is a designated terrorist group, hence, we don't want those Kurds to get weapons. That faction has not been fighting us but fight for independence against Turkey and mostly in Turkey. Without a doubt, the situation is complex.

This article doesn't mention anything about Marines collecting weapons from the Kurds.  It specifically states

But Trump did assist the Kurdish fighters in Derik and Qamishi Syria.  He sent them 150 truckloads of weapons to defend themselves from ISIS and Turkish forces.

So I do not know what you're referencing in your post @TomSea
