"President Trump announced in December 2018 that the United States would withdraw the approximately 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Syria, but subsequent administration statements indicate that at least several hundred U.S. troops will remain. The future of the U.S. military presence in Syria could have important implications for Turkey and the YPG. Turkey has refused to guarantee the YPG’s safety, with Erdogan insisting that Turkey should have a free hand with the YPG and other groups it considers to be terrorists. Various analyses surmise that a U.S. troop withdrawal could lead the YPG toward an accommodation with Russia and the Syrian government.
In January, amid reports that the U.S. military had begun preparing for withdrawal, President Trump tweeted that he would “devastate Turkey economically” if it hit the Kurds, and at the same time proposed the creation of a 20-mile-deep “safe zone” on the Syria side of the border."
Про Ирак вообще речи нет, про Сирию озвучено наказание в виде экономических санкций.
Я не понимаю, как ПВО поможет предотвратить угрозу “devastate Turkey economically”.
