Donald Trump wants to remove US troops from northern Syria rather than leaving them as “cannon fodder” if fighting broke out between Turkey and Kurdish fighters, Robert F Kennedy Jr said on Wednesday.
Speaking to Tucker Carlson during a live broadcast covering the US presidential election result, the Trump ally, who is expected to play a major role in his government, said the president-elect had expressed his intentions for northern Syria during a plane journey.
“We were talking about the Middle East, and he took a piece of paper and he drew on it [a] map of the Middle East with all the nations on it, which most Americans couldn’t do,” he told the right-wing broadcaster.
“He was he was particularly looking at the border between Syria and Turkey, and he said, ‘We have 500 men on the border of of Syria and Turkey and a little encampment that was bombed.’”
Kennedy said Trump told him there were 750,000 troops in Turkey and 250,000 in Syria
“We were talking about the Middle East, and he took a piece of paper and he drew on it [a] map of the Middle East with all the nations on it, which most Americans couldn’t do,” he told the right-wing broadcaster.
A. I don’t believe this even a little.
B. I couldn’t do it.
C. For the fucking commander in chief, this is not even sort of impressive.
I believe he did it.
Did his sharpie map look anything like the real Middle East? Did the nations he wrote down have any resemblance to actual names of Middle Eastern countries, and were they in roughly the right location?
Unless he was copying from an atlas, that’s much more unlikely.
Oh, randomly, on a whim drawing an awful map to show off his brilliance? That’s for sure possible.
I guess RFK having no clue and calling it perfect also makes sense.
What I don’t believe is that he knows the name of anything but Israel, Iraq, and maybe Egypt.
“We were talking about the Middle East, and he took a piece of paper and he drew on it [a] map of the Middle East with all the nations on it, which most Americans couldn’t do,” he told the right-wing broadcaster.
haha yeah and Kim Jong-il bowled a perfect 300 game at his very first try at bowling, scored 11 holes-in-one on his very first try at playing golf, wrote over 1,500 books while at university, composed 6 operas, could walk at 3 weeks of age and speak at 8 weeks of age.
When are you going to say something untrue? I think that’d be funnier

Am i missing something. Isn’t this a good thing?
Why would our illegal occupation be a bad thing? You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about and should just leave things to the
war criminalsadults in the room.Well… not if you are Kurdish or Christian. The SDF (currently protected by America) is the only faction in Syria which respects minorities.
The U.S. has never done anything that wasn’t serving our own interests. I highly doubt they care even in passing about what they do to their citizens. Well, maybe some of the soldiers care bcz they have empathy, but international geopolitics doesn’t have empathy.
Of course the US is only protecting its own interests, but still, the SDF collapsing would be devastating to the people it protects
Aren’t these rebels basically ex Al Qaeda and ISIS?
That’s HTS, SDF are leftists
Some leftists, if they’re stealing Syrian oil and doing the US’ bidding in exchange for weapons.
It’s not the first time the US has used “socialist” organizations to try and undermine states’ rights to self determination
Or if you’re there to keep the oil. The US isn’t interested in “protecting” anyone but its capitalist class’ imperialist interests, because the US is an oligarchy, and it always was
