"There has not been such a shame since Vietnam" - Trump's opponents about the surrender of the base in Manbij
The American press is outraged that "Trump handed over to Putin US military bases in northern Syria." And the footage of how the Syrian military met on the highway in the Manbij area with the American military leaving the base was called on Trump’s "shameful policy." Regarding the surrender of the US base in Manbridge, American experts invited to the media added that "the American army has not experienced such a disgrace since Vietnam."
Recall that the American contingent left Manbij, and the Syrian government army (SAA) had already entered it. The day before, Turkish President Erdogan said that Ankara does not need Syrian cities, but security along its borders. Against this background, units of the Russian military police appeared in Manbij.
Noteworthy Twitter video:

Meanwhile, it became known about the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Recep Erdogan. Recall that the President of Russia made state visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where, among other things, the issue of the Syrian settlement was also discussed. During the conversation, the Russian president invited his Turkish counterpart to pay a working visit to Moscow in the near future to discuss what is happening in northern Syria.
All this angers American hawkish politicians who claim that "Erdogan’s sanctions alone will not force him to abandon the operation." There were also those in the USA who recalled that the sanctions did not work and did not work against Russia.
