I’m personally happy we are leaving Syria. I’m tired of wasting American taxpayer dollars and American lives fighting the wars of other countries. Especially countries in the Middle East who hate our guts. But what’s the real reason for the sudden pull out of Syria and the end of Obama’s war? At least one report says the reason for the pull out is that Turkey is about to launch a big ground offensive in the Kurdish stronghold of Hanbij.
Of course this may be complete BS and just Turkish propaganda. I guess we’ll see.

Meanwhile a major Turkish Army and Turkish-backed rebel assault on the key Syrian Kurdish stronghold of Manbij is imminent. Turkey has been reported over the past days to be mustering large forces, including hundreds of vehicles and troops surrounding the northwestern Syrian town, around Manbij.
Turkey has long demanded US advisers to withdraw and to clear the town of armed Syrian Kurdish groups, specifically the YPG, which forms the core of the US-backed SDF but which Ankara sees as an extension of the outlawed terror group, the PKK.
