Obama-era National Security Advisor Susan Rice decried President Donald Trump’s “bats**t crazy” decision to pull U.S. troops from the Syria-Turkey border in a TV interview Monday night.
The former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that the retreat gave Turkey permission to “go for it”, referring to the country’s plans to invade northern Syria and push out Kurdish forces.
The article goes on to state the following:
Kurdish fighters have been key allies of the U.S. in the fight to liberate Syria from ISIS control, but have long been in the crosshairs of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who considers the Kurdish militia a terrorist insurgency.
Rice spoke out against President Trump’s decision during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “This is bats**t crazy,” she declared. WATCH her remarks in the video below:

Trump’s decision to sell-out our Kurdish partners who were essential to fighting ISIS and leave them hanging is a metaphor for his entire failed foreign policy. If you’re with us, Trump will turn against you; and, if your against us (eg Putin, Kim) he will roll out the red carpet https://t.co/zoNIhkylta
