Where does Turkey's Erdogan stand on US presidential race?
According to the Turkish president, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lacks political experience.
When it comes to Syria, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sounds more articulate than her Republican opponent, Donald Trump.
“I would not use American ground forces in Syria,” she said during the Oct. 9 presidential debate. “I think that would be a very serious mistake. I don’t think American troops should be holding territory, which is what they would have to do as an occupying force. I don’t think that is a smart strategy. I do think the use of special forces, which we're using, [and] the use of enablers and trainers … are very much in our interest.”
According to Israel’s Jerusalem Post, this mirrors the current US policy of working with the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units in eastern Syria.
“Most importantly, she emphasized the central role of the Kurdish forces in the region: ‘I would consider arming the Kurds; they have been our best partners in Syria, as well as Iraq,’ she said,” the Israeli daily reported.
