Trump Arms Kurdish Allies After US Pulls Out of Syria
Last week Trump shocked many with his announcement that the mission was won in Syria against ISIS and he would pull out the 2,000 US troops there.
Democrats, their mainstream media and neocons were outraged.
General Mattis resigned in disgust.

He sent them 150 truckloads of weapons to defend themselves from ISIS and Turkish forces.
