The US President's decision to withdraw troops from Syria and clear the way for a Turkish military offensive has plunged the region into a war. On Monday, there was a meeting of EU foreign ministers who were considering cessation of arms supplies to Turkey.
In addition, it is feared that there will be a resurgence of the Islamist militia IS - prisoners of the militia are now released from previously guarded Kurdish forces camps.
Donald Trump negotiated this as usual on Twitter, he made in a tweet the Kurds responsible for the release of IS supporters. Shortly thereafter, the most powerful politician in the Western world tweeted to support his controversial former spokesman Sean Spicer, who will perform in a television show that evening.
"Tonight for good man Sean Spicer on 'Dancing With The Stars'," the US president called his almost 66 million Twitter followers. "He was always good to us!"
Vote for good guy @seanspicer tonight on Dancing With The Stars. He has always been there for us!

Syrian government sends troops to the border
Meanwhile, the situation in Syria remains tense: in the meantime, the Syrian government has sent troops to the Turkish border at the request of the Kurdish autonomy administration. Under the leadership of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), the Kurds have been developing their own administration with their own schools and security forces since 2012. Assad tolerated this, because the Kurds did not participate in the fight of the rebels. However, Turkey has long wanted to oppose Kurdish autonomy, as the YPG is closely linked to the rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey.
Internationally, the Turkish attack continues to receive sharp criticism. Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) warned at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, if a dialogue with Turkey was not successful, "you will have to reserve additional measures." France has already called for EU sanctions, while Sweden and Italy have called for an EU-wide arms embargo on Turkey. This came after a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Monday but not for now.
