YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

While corporate media portrayed Trump's withdrawal of US troops from Syria as a Christmas gift to Russia's Putin, veteran Middle East reporter Patrick Cockburn tells TRNN's Ben Norton this is infantile and conspiratorial. NATO member Turkey stands to gain most, and could launch an attack on Kurdish forces in the northeast.
