Newsweek posted:One of the main issues in the phone call between the two world leaders concerned the roughly 2,000 Islamic State militant prisoners being held by the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Defense Forces in northeastern Syria, who the U.S. military assists financially. The only way this makes sense is if Trump genuinely believes that we hold the ISIS prisoners, because what would actually have to happen for Turkey to take control of them would be for SDF to hand them over to a literally mortal enemy. Edit: I absolutely love it that the military is feeling increasingly comfortable ignoring the President. This is a very good omen.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:How likely is it that remaining ISIS takes advantage of this? Well seeing that either the captured ISIS combats can have one of the following happen: A.) be executed - which will then inspire more ISIS to take revenge B.) be released, and will form new ISIS cells to continue their attacks No one is going to want to continue to hold them prisoner if there’s no reason to with the US pulling out.

General strike or bust y'all. The system is just not going to save itself from the problems the system has created. In the meantime the concentration camps are open and growing, the US is increasingly isolated in the world, an armed/militaristic domestic faction is advocating for open political violence, and our president is beholden to hostile foreign powers.
