Reuters: Trump threatens Turkey with 'extremely decimated economy' over Syria
Trump said he would “totally destroy and obliterate” Turkey’s economy if it took action in Syria that he considered “off-limits” following his decision on Sunday to pull out U.S. forces from northeastern Syria.
The U.S. withdrawal will leave Kurdish-led forces in Syria that have long allied with Washington vulnerable to a planned incursion by the Turkish military which brands them terrorists.

The same people complaining about Trump being consistent are the same one hypocritically flip flopping to stay on the attack.
Trump is consistent. He campaigned on getting the US out of wars. Does that carry ayn weight with liberals, who continually whine that the US is a war-mongering? Hell No! The little hypocrite snowflakes whine louder.
When ever Basher Assad complained that the US had no business in Syria did Miss Nancy or Miss Lindsey refute it and make a case before a national audience? NO! Miss Nancy was playing kissy face with Basher so hard, she could've sucked chrome off a bumper. Asswipe liberals complained that the US has no legal authority to be in Syria. Now they same Asswipe liberals complain that we are leaving.
Make up your mind Asswipes!

The NBC link had a 404 error on a subsequent try to reach it 2 minutes later, which is fishy. 1984?
