US-Präsident Trump steht erneut in der Kritik. Was ist diesmal vorgefallen? Kurz zusammengefasst: Trump pfeift die US-Truppen in Syrien zurück. Er lässt damit dem türkischen Präsidenten Erdogan freien Lauf, um unter anderem gegen die YPG-Kurdenmilizen vorzugehen. Diese waren jedoch ein enger Verbündeter der USA im Kampf gegen de Islamischen Staat (IS). Trump hintergeht nun also seine Verbündeten – und man weiss nicht einmal genau weshalb. Den detaillierten Bericht liest du hier:
Viele finden es natürlich nicht ok, dass der US-Präsidenten quasi ein Verräter ist – es hagelt Kritik. Und was macht Trump? Er verteidigt sich in gewohnter Manier auf Twitter und sagt von sich selbst, mit «grosser und unvergleichlicher Weisheit» gesegnet zu sein.
....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!

Do you know anyone in your personal life that would say they have "great and unmatched wisdom" without any irony? Would you stay friends with that person? Would you enjoy constantly hearing about their unmatched wisdom & how they are a very stable genius? #25thAmendmentNow

Mr. President, I am a SEAL Team Officer who served with ST-6. Twice in my life of service I have been embarrassed for my country. Once, when I dug bodies out the rubble of the Marine Barracks in Beirut. And this morning, when I read that the US is abandoning the Kurds. pic.twitter.com/a5JtafgmGY
