Oy Vey!Reader comment on item: Erdoğan Invaded; What's Next in Syria? Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Oct 16, 2019 at 10:17 I heard that Erdowan (spelled phonetically) told Trump that Turkey was proceeding with the invasion regardless and that US troops were in a dangerous place. Trump took the least problematic path. Should Trump have left US troops in place and they were injured or killed, he would have been skewered by the Democrats. What is interesting is that the PKK is listed as a terrorist group in both Turkey and USA. What many aren't aware of it that the Kurds are originally from Persia----they are considered Persian nomads.
