Tulsi Gabbard clashes with Democratic rivals over 'Syrian regime change war' by JennaMC_Laugh
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a veteran long known for her controversial positions on foreign policy, clashed with fellow Democrats during Tuesday night’s fourth Democratic debate, and called on Sen. Elizabeth Warren to join her in condemning what she called a “regime change” war in Syria.
Sen. Warren agreed that the U.S. should “get out of the Middle East” but argued that an abrupt departure is not the way to do it. “We have to do it the right way,” she said. He suggested that a small group of Special Forces operators supported by intelligence officers are the only thing standing between “genocide and a resurgence of ISIS.” He said that Trump, by pulling troops out of Syria, “is taking away what makes America, America.”
The announcement quickly drew international and domestic outrage, including from blindsided European allies who warned of an imminent humanitarian crisis. Even U.S. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, a staunch Trump ally, told reporters he was “gravely concerned” about the U.S. response to the ongoing Syrian civil war as well as the decision to expose Syrian Kurds to an imminent Turkish offensive.
Turkey has announced a plan to create a 32-kilometer “safe zone” in the border region for one million Syrian refugees, a strategy Human Rights Watch’s director of crisis and conflict division, Lama Fakih, called “woefully misguided and dangerous—and bound to fail,” because of the potential for increased displacement and danger for civilians.
