107
00:02:05,579 –> 00:02:07,429

do some damage to Isis in the area they
109
00:02:07,439 –> 00:02:09,350

00:02:09,360 –> 00:02:10,400

112
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:10,410
wipe all of that out
113
00:02:10,410 –> 00:02:11,590
wipe all of that out
certainly the Russian
114
00:02:11,590 –> 00:02:11,600
certainly the Russian
115
00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:14,170
certainly the Russian
and the Syrian government itself did
116
00:02:14,170 –> 00:02:14,180
and the Syrian government itself did
117
00:02:14,180 –> 00:02:16,330
and the Syrian government itself did
worse and similar activities and at the
118
00:02:16,330 –> 00:02:16,340
worse and similar activities and at the
119
00:02:16,340 –> 00:02:18,550
worse and similar activities and at the
same time of course they were trying to
120
00:02:18,550 –> 00:02:18,560
same time of course they were trying to
121
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:21,490
same time of course they were trying to
make sure that these units that the US
122
00:02:21,490 –> 00:02:21,500
make sure that these units that the US
123
00:02:21,500 –> 00:02:22,840
make sure that these units that the US
was trying to stand up never came to
124
00:02:22,840 –> 00:02:22,850
was trying to stand up never came to
125
00:02:22,850 –> 00:02:23,350
was trying to stand up never came to
pass
126
00:02:23,350 –> 00:02:23,360
pass
127
00:02:23,360 –> 00:02:25,480
pass
so you had a pretty much all the cards
128
00:02:25,480 –> 00:02:25,490
so you had a pretty much all the cards
129
00:02:25,490 –> 00:02:26,920
so you had a pretty much all the cards
stacked against you and very little
130
00:02:26,920 –> 00:02:26,930
stacked against you and very little
131
00:02:26,930 –> 00:02:29,050
stacked against you and very little
chance of becoming a you know a power
132
00:02:29,050 –> 00:02:29,060
chance of becoming a you know a power
133
00:02:29,060 –> 00:02:32,080
chance of becoming a you know a power
within that situation within that
134
00:02:32,080 –> 00:02:32,090
within that situation within that
135
00:02:32,090 –> 00:02:34,570
within that situation within that
scenario so I think Trump looked at it
136
00:02:34,570 –> 00:02:34,580
scenario so I think Trump looked at it
137
00:02:34,580 –> 00:02:37,300
scenario so I think Trump looked at it
and said okay you know this just isn’t
138
00:02:37,300 –> 00:02:37,310
and said okay you know this just isn’t
139
00:02:37,310 –> 00:02:39,520
and said okay you know this just isn’t

doing this to begin with and you know
144
00:02:42,940 –> 00:02:42,950
doing this to begin with and you know
145
00:02:42,950 –> 00:02:44,680
doing this to begin with and you know
you show me the happy ending to the
146
00:02:44,680 –> 00:02:44,690

story with having our people there where
148
00:02:46,390 –> 00:02:46,400

think anybody could look at it and say
152
00:02:49,450 –> 00:02:49,460
think anybody could look at it and say
153
00:02:49,460 –> 00:02:51,670

156
00:02:54,340 –> 00:02:54,350
then we’re all winners so I think Trump
157
00:02:54,350 –> 00:02:55,750
then we’re all winners so I think Trump
looked at it and just said oh yeah this

negative results out of this probably
164
00:03:02,710 –> 00:03:02,720
negative results out of this probably
165
00:03:02,720 –> 00:03:04,930

something where we were able to provide
217
00:04:00,740 –> 00:04:03,370
something where we were able to provide
more consistent support to the Kurds who

00:04:10,940 –> 00:04:12,310

been treated fairly in the scheme of

00:04:12,310 –> 00:04:12,320
been treated fairly in the scheme of
227
00:04:12,320 –> 00:04:14,620

00:04:33,750 –> 00:04:34,970
of these Christian villages especially
and they’ve been the ones that are

they’re being sort of abandoned where
252
00:04:39,410 –> 00:04:39,420
they’re being sort of abandoned where
253
00:04:39,420 –> 00:04:41,540
they’re being sort of abandoned where
they have to defend themselves against
254
00:04:41,540 –> 00:04:41,550
they have to defend themselves against
255
00:04:41,550 –> 00:04:42,860
they have to defend themselves against
mainly the Turks who have clearly
256
00:04:42,860 –> 00:04:42,870
mainly the Turks who have clearly
257
00:04:42,870 –> 00:04:45,140
mainly the Turks who have clearly
targeted them and and and believe them
258
00:04:45,140 –> 00:04:45,150
targeted them and and and believe them
259
00:04:45,150 –> 00:04:47,300
targeted them and and and believe them
to be terrorists and all of them and so
260
00:04:47,300 –> 00:04:47,310
to be terrorists and all of them and so
261
00:04:47,310 –> 00:04:49,430
to be terrorists and all of them and so

263
00:04:49,440 –> 00:04:51,500
on a lie would be very happy to wipe out
the Kurds so they didn’t have to pull

00:04:51,500 –> 00:04:51,510
the Kurds so they didn’t have to pull
265
00:04:51,510 –> 00:04:54,710
the Kurds so they didn’t have to pull

00:04:56,810 –> 00:04:56,820
lines against this type of onslaught
269
00:04:56,820 –> 00:04:58,970
lines against this type of onslaught
that’s one of the collateral issues out
270
00:04:58,970 –> 00:04:58,980
that’s one of the collateral issues out
271
00:04:58,980 –> 00:05:01,430
that’s one of the collateral issues out
of that now there’s no discussion so I
272
00:05:01,430 –> 00:05:01,440
of that now there’s no discussion so I
273
00:05:01,440 –> 00:05:03,080
of that now there’s no discussion so I
don’t know if there’s any plans by the

some of it’s handled because of the you
283
00:05:14,100 –> 00:05:15,740
