I've analysed @AmbJohnBolton's book, which provides many facts on how the #US betrayed the #Kurds for #Erdogan. Erdogan's invasion of #Syria was fully preplanned. US left #YPG 'to get slaughtered'.

At first mention, @realDonaldTrump says he dislikes, or rather dispises, the #Kurds. He thinks they're weak, as they're unable to fight without airsupport. 1/
#Trump wanted out of #Syria, as fast as he could. He felt staying in Syria was useless, as fighting #ISIS only served the enemies: #Russia, #Iran and Bashar al- #Assad's Syria. 2/
This screenshot shows the reason #US continues to support the #SDF #YPG #Kurds and left them some territory.
He fears that #PYD would turn to #Assad, and form a united strong #Syria; which serves US' nemesis #Iran's interests. 3/

Knowing the #Turks would cross into Syria soon, #Trump argued for a quick withdrawal. He disliked the fact that #Turkey would attack the #Kurds with his troops still around. 4/
The #Turkish invasion of #NESyria was planned carefully. With a map of the areas the #Turks were allowed to take over from the #Kurds. This shows how deeply exactly the #US betrayed its 'ally' #YPG. 5/
#Trump feels it cannot intervene in the #Turkish/ #Kurdish conflict. #Kurds shouldn't hope for #US political support.
Trump empowers a foreign-policy team that was the most pro-Turkey in history, and this in turn empowered Turkey to begin taking over Kurdish areas of Syria. 6/

The events that happened after the meetings @AmbJohnBolton described, are history. The #SDF have lost great swathes of territory in the Turkish invasion of N-Syria. The division Jeffrey showed on his map has become reality. Kurds are oppressed in Turkish-occupied areas. 7/
Currently, #US & #Macron are pushing #PYD into reconciliation talks with #ENKS, as the Kurds keep hoping that US military support will turn into political support one day. These talks can be seen as a diversion to keep the Kurds from reconciling with the #Syrian government. 8/
