General Wesley Clark in a television interview with CNN today suggested that trump taking a decision on the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, maybe lost under the pressure of the Turkish President Erdogan.
«If there is no strategic justification for this decision, you have to ask, why such decision was made, it was about a General in conversation with CNN reporters, All are now asking about it, and some of our friends and allies in the middle East asking blackmailed whether Erdogan President? Was there a payoff or something? Why is the guy suddenly takes such a decision?»
Wesley Clark joined the opinion of those who disagree with trump because of the withdrawal of troops from Syria. In his opinion, if ISIL will get a breather, you will be able to reoccupy the territory and to regain their strength. The General is particularly worried that the US leaves without the protection of his loyal allies, the Kurds, who can become the first victim of the revival of ISIS. Turkey has always been dissatisfied with the development of the Kurdish movement in Syria and the strengthening of their combat units. And it is quite possible that at the request of Turkey, trump now leaves the Kurds to «the slaughter», says the General.
74-year-old General Wesley Clark informed as the commander of NATO forces directly in charge of the operation against Milosevic in Kosovo. In his youth, found Vietnam, where in one battle he received a severe wound (came four bullets), but continued to command his troops. General surrounded by the troops of unparalleled respect, and his words mean a lot to soldiers and officers of the U.S. army.
«What does that say about US foreign policy? What are we unreliable? We make strategic decisions, not based on a strategic logic? What kind of person controls the wheel? That’s the problem,» he said about politics generally trump.
