text: Read what the Kurds, Iraqui and US military leaders said about Trump’s role— fortunately they talked him out of what he was trying to do after a few months instead of letting him derail everything Obama’s people had built. He tried to force them into working with Russia when Russia was attacking them and deliberately sending them into the path of Russian bombing. He gave away US positions to the Russians and Syrians, his Immigration ban angered US commanders and special forces (they were so angry they spoke on TV), and Mattis because they were moving Iraqui troops retiring to the US, and promising help in immigrating with their families after years of loyal fighting. He angered the Kurds— our best fighters against ISIS by his attempting to involve Russia and later Turkey who were already bombing the Kurds. He threatened to cut arms and money for the war. He let Steve Bannon block US action when Bannon denied Asad had dropped poison gas— it took a lot of work to convince Trump.
