Trump scrambles and tweets on Syria, but he's still not helping the Kurds

President Trump’s hasty announcement that U.S. troops would be leaving Syria spelled chaos for the Kurds, our steady allies in the fight against the Islamic State. Since then, the president and his administration have scrambled to find a way to fulfill the promise of bringing troops home while also preventing the Kurds from falling into the hands of the Turks who have vowed to attack their decades-old foe.
But the time to make a deal was before Trump gave Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan exactly what he asked for.
In tweet after tweet since announcing his decision, Trump offered up seemingly various versions of the same story: He was talking with Erdogan, there would be a deal, the Kurds would be protected.

It's almost like a mental block with the Kurds and though, their numbers are far behind the Kurds, the groups of that area do include a number of Christians who have made great sacrifices as well and who do not want us to leave.
