The U.S. government's decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem is a turning point in history and will fuel instability and violence in the Middle East

Allies are quickly losing faith in Washington's erratic foreign policy decisions and confidence in its leadership is rapidly diminishing

The U.S.' untrustworthy diplomatic moves, along with the decision to pull out of the landmark nuclear accord with Iran has led to more instability in the Middle East

Washington should consider Ankara as an important ally instead of depending on terrorist organizations since it has proven its determination and success on the ground

The U.S. should have realised that Turkey was not bluffing about clearing its border from all terrorist elements

The Americans make promises behind closed doors with no intention of keeping them and continue taking steps that place Turkish interests at risk

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan insists on U.S. troops withdrawing from Manbij, saying that promises President Barack Obama made to Ankara must be kept. His most recent threat to seek international legal action against Washington's support for the People's Protection Units (YPG) militia in northern Syria shows that Turkey's patience is running out.

It is high time for Washington to revise its short-sighted YPG policy indoctrinated by CENTCOM

As a NATO ally, the U.S. shouldn't have underestimated Turkey's security concerns and instead, should have understood how serious Ankara is in dealing with YPG terrorists in northern Syria

The U.S. to continue the militarization of the YPG without using terms such as army or border force..

Effective policy coordination and clarified functions are desperately needed from the democratically elected branches of the U.S. government, especially from Congress and the White House, but chances for improvement on those fronts are grim

The Trump administration backing PKK-affiliated YPG terrorists near the Turkish border is an unacceptable move that will end bilateral relations with Ankara

U.S. officials responsible for Washington's Syria policy have been suffering from a lapse of reason when it comes to judging Turkey's priorities. It would appear that they are content with the prospect of driving Turkey-U.S. relations to the ground by ignoring Ankara's concerns about the PKK-affiliated People's Protection Units (YPG) presence in northern Syria.

Ankara is getting ready for a military operation against the threat of a terror corridor on the Syrian border, dispatching military convoys to southern cities, hitting PKK/PYD targets in Afrin

For Trump, who previously called climate change "a hoax" and closely followed the advice of Steve Bannon, the headmaster tasked to preserve his populist appeal since the campaign trail, the decision is simply meant to realize a campaign pledge.

The timing of the decision to arm the YPG played into the hands of certain groups that had been lobbying against a fresh start between Washington and Ankara

The already weakened ties with allies in the region due to former U.S. President Obama's policies may receive another blow after the U.S.'s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, unless Trump is quick to take action to fix ties
