Whether at home or abroad, Trump policies have one clear goal: do whatever Trump wants. Regardless of cost to former allies, long-term strategies, or the best interests of American citizens.

For 100 years now, the United States has made it a priority to “make the world safe for democracy.” When President Wilson made that proclamation, it was a radical departure from Washington’s farewell address to the nation in 1797 which had been the previous cornerstone of American foreign policy. A century later, Wilsonianism has been a total failure. Korea, Vietnam, and the second invasion of Iraq are prime examples. I am in complete agreement with Trump on this. We have to start being very realistic when it comes to foreign engagements going forward. We’ve severely overplayed our hand in the Middle East for the past 20 years and have spent our blood and treasury.

This is an outrageous betrayal of a critical ally, without whose efforts and bloodshed ISIS would still control large swaths of territory in northeastern Syria. The U.S. provided munitions and advice, but it was the Kurds who valiantly fought and died in order to reduce ISIS.
How do we show our gratitude? By delivering them to the tender mercies of a Turkish would-be dictator. Now, as a full century ago at Versailles, the Kurds have not a single friend in the world, and the U.S. is revealed again as unworthy of anyone's trust.
