In the fall of 2019, President Donald Trump ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the northern Syrian border, effectively abandoning longtime allies the Kurds, and opening the door for a Turkish attack on the region and its people. NBC’s Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel immediately dispatched to the frontlines where he was able to tap into extensive contacts to document the invasion and its aftermath. This program originally aired on November 17th, 2019. It was recognized with multiple awards, including the Peabody Award.

So sad
If all countries get together to fight ISIS , would be better.
The worst mistake the USA made was to vote for then D Trump. That was a horrible situation.
Oh bet that was the plan with Russia and Ukraine. Chump is such a piece of💩. Except the us is backing Ukraine because chump isn’t president anymore. No doubt there is a bigger plan at play here.
That is why he didn't win in the last election.
USA loves wars and despises peace!
Because wars equal huge profits for the few rich capitalists!
We should destroy all weapons manufacturers, and melt down all weapons!
And force all banks to close!
We should redistribute money equally worldwide to end wars!
Equality means EQUAL WEALTH worldwide !
USA despises equal wealth, equal rights, equality of everything!
USA loves wars and is unrighteousness in every way!
The humility within Trump and his speech is gleaming with conservative Christianity. Thoughts and prayers to all you of who support him as ya'll be burning for eternity for ya'lls idolatry, hypocrisy, bigotry, and heresy.
Last time I checked, Turkey is part of NATO. Didn't the US side with Turkey instead of Greece, who is also in NATO? Doesn't Turkey produce F-16's and many other US weapons under license? Didn't George H Bush abandon the Kurds in Iraq and your PNAC heroes sell Saddam the chemical weapons and provide satellite data so he could gas the Kurds? And overall, maybe the US should have left Syria alone in the first place. And when the US was going to invade, Russia brought in it's own air force and missiles. The only thing the US brought into Ukraine, is war profiteering off it's own taxpayers. After spending a trillion dollars of taxpayers money on missile system in Europe in case Russia invades another country in Europe.
Trump go figure!!
This is nothing but Democrat political propaganda. Disgusting ! Biden withdrew in humiliating defeat and left American's behind ! Not to mention leaving 80 billion dollars worth of equipment for the Taliban ! But all in all it will not matter since Biden will start Armageddon any day now with his weakness and dribble. The last American president was just a bumbling resident at the Whitehouse.
50% of US voters were stupid enough to vote for trump… absolutely absurd
And the Trumpers still say "it's just one bad thing, is that all you have" when confronted over what Trump did.
Now I see why Trump was big mistake
How far away is northern Syria from America?I live in poverty in Tucsno,AZ.Come on man.
Among all the crimes Dirty Donny committed, this is one for which he should be put in jail – for life.
More blood on trump's hands.
With cabinet members Flinn, Miller, Paul manafort, Mike Pompeo is there something else we could have even expected ? and Jeff sessions Stephen Miller we're war criminals what they did on the Mexican border with those kids.
You should tell the people you're crazy and hired it Turks to fight Russia and this way the Turks can have a piece of property and have to call. Their own land a little be civilized they can have somebody's gotta get rid of it
Just like Trump did to Afghanistan. Same exact betrayal.
Yeah, @ the end….. us will say goodbye too the Ukrainians! Just like Vietnam 🇻🇳, Iraq 🇮🇶, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and the Kurdish!!!
The worst thing that happened to America was Trump…Ignorant yet very foolish
Good luck getting others to respect you in the next decade
This guy is everywhere on the planet earth covering the news. He should get the Edward .. you know.. the reporter covering London's bombing during World War II.
What his name.?????
This documentary justifies why TRUMP should never be in power again at any level in government.
America betrays everybody even its own people. Why you think nobody on this globe wants to do business with us anymore because they know America is just a racist pile of s*** country
I think at least one republican said the truth when he called dump trump “ amoral “ and a “narcissist “ and a “pathological liar.” He’s still living out all those characteristics today. Why would anyone in their right mind take him seriously!
Truck Fump!
This is another example of why dump trump is mentally unstable and incapable of being president.
https://youtu.be/abCkOe5KGxI Discussing Obama’s illegal CIA regime change, proxy war in Syria on MSNBC. (CIA Operation Timber Sycamore 2012-2017) The CIA training and arming insurgents and rebels in Jordan and inserting them into the Syrian Civil War to topple the Assad government. Credited with introducing Isis into Syria, drawing Russia in at Syria’s request, and responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
soon US will be saying same as this to Ukraine
This is a joke. America us nit ur daddy or babysitter. Turks are you cousins fix it Kurt's.
Wow. Even I was un aware just how deep his meddling went 👁
International Commission of Jurists (Geneva) “The invasion of Iraq was neither in self defense against armed attack, nor sanctioned by the UN Security Council authorizing the use of force by member states, and thus constituted the Crime of War of Aggression…The US Invasion of Iraq was declared illegal by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Sept 15 2004.
Trump is so the coward that 48 % of "america" will support till the end of time.
Good luck "america"!👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
