NEW -- #Trump's global aid freeze has cut the salaries paid to many of the prison & camp guards responsible for securing 9,500 #ISIS militants & ~40,000 associated women/kids in northeast #Syria. Many are no longer turning up for work.

Did #Trump realize that "cutting aid" would mean opening a door for 1,000s of #ISIS militants to potentially be broken out in #Syria? Of course not -- but that's the consequence of brash, ill-thought out actions intended for headlines, not policy.
Many State Dept-funded staff working on #Iran issues -- sanctions monitoring, militia activities, nuclear assessments etc -- have all been put out of work by #Trump's aid freeze. Terrible timing, given a historic regional opportunity, with #Iran weakened.
~40,000 associated women/kids in northeast Syria are being held by Prison Guards? Do you realize how Clowinish you sound? Please check your bizarre 'facts'
Can the new Syrian government take over? Or are they incompetent? I’m no Trump fan, but stuff like this should be taken care of by these countries and not the US.
We are covering this now but should not be using tax dollars to pay for ISIS they should have been executed as terrorists?! Should they not

Why is it solely our responsibility to pay salaries of a foreign country's guard salaries? This is the real question.
Thank God. 40k women and children? WTF is going on? How many other jails housing 50k people in foreign lands are we paying for? WTactualF?
Syrians can guard ISIS. This whole idea of paying Kurdish terrorists to guard ISIS terrorists was a degeneracy from the get-go.
Talented felon weakening the country’s national security while releasing his gang members from prison
for years, the usa has been considering giving Syrian lands to terrorist organizations(pkk/ypg/sdf etc.) under the pretext of ISIS. soon both terrorist organizations and the usa will be expelled from there. It is european states with stupid governments that cause chaos in the ME.
You have a horrible point of view. New government able to take care that prisons with Turkish military support.
Trump swore to destroy our country and he is doing it! His administration is illegal and he belongs in jail! Every damn Supreme Court corrupt judge who has not protected or defended our Constitution, but gave a dictator power and stole our country must be impeached!
22 women in Iran’s Evin Prison are being subjected to sexual abuse during brutal body searches. Their open letter exposes the horrors: humiliation, assault, and dehumanization. They risk torture for speaking out. How much longer will the world ignore their screams?

The Syrian government should control these prisons and deport the foreigners from them, we’ll not host illegals in Syria everyone should be handed to his home country to be tried there
This has been ongoing for years. The Global Coalition against ISIS and members of NATO have ignored their responsibility to repatriate, rehab and reintegrate the prisoners. Blinken already stated it. These people have been abandoned by their countries. Do we stay forever?
:) all Isis prisoners must be deported to their countries! Mass deportation in Syria now!!!
yea keep backing up that ypg/sdf ORGANIZATION to securing those prison. The organization that threatened Europe and US with saying “if you guys don't help us, the prisons will get out of control”
Priorities! More Americans are killed each week in our major cities than all year in Syria. Why isn't that a national security issue - where is the "national security" in Oakland, Chicago, Detroit, DC, Baltimore, when people can't walk downtown w/out fearing robbery or worse?
Just give the green light to the new Syrian authority to claim the east of Euphrates and they will let you watch the video (served with the nasheed of your choice) of those Isis militants waving under the tracks of their tanks for free. Win-win.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had a president who read and one who actually understood the totality of what he’s signing ? Too much to ask ??
If it’s reasonable for the US to pay these costs, then the rest of the world should contribute, too. What do the wealthy Middle Eastern countries contribute? How about European countries?
I don't think it will be much of a problem now with HTS in power in Damascus. They will fight ISIS like fighting for dear life, as we see the Taliban doing the same in Afghanistan. Plus they will have help from Turkiye as well.
The Trump pause is disabling US actions that contain Iran and ISIS. “Terrible timing, given a historic regional opportunity, with #Iran weakened.”
Hasty actions without consideration of the broader effects is extremely unwise, but Trump is like a bull in a china shop right now, destroying everything. I hope some sane voices are left to talk some sense into all this. (not hopeful)
You know very well that those 40K or so are displaced people. Who thought it was a great idea to put them in camps with ISIS?
Wait so your saying within days The Kurds ran out of money to pay people? Something is wrong with that and nevermind they need to find a long-time solution. Kurds just going to guard them till they die?
