10/10/19 - Rep. Sires posted the following to Facebook: "“The President’s justifications for abandoning our Kurdish allies in Syria are insulting and outside of any logical thought process. Rather than standing by our allies the way an honorable partner would, the President has used the insulting justification that the Kurdish people, who fought so bravely beside us against ISIS, don’t deserve our help because they didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy during World War II. By his own admission, Turkey was planning to attack our allies for a long time, and now he has cleared the path for them to do so. President Trump knows that President Erdogan plans to continue conducting deadly strikes and yet he made a choice that will lead to the deaths of thousands of men, women, and children. He is doing irreparable harm to our national security, partnerships, and future credibility. Why would any nation, or group, ally themselves with the United States when our own President has abandoned key partners to be slaughtered by an authoritarian masquerading as a democratically elected leader? He will have the blood of every single person who dies as a result of his decision on his hands.”

10/09/19 - Rep. Sires posted the following to Facebook: "Reports that Turkey has launched its military campaign against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are alarming. It is shameful that our Kurdish partners were left vulnerable to Turkish aggression, who seems intent on eliminating Kurdish presence along the Turkey-Syria border at all costs. I condemn Turkey’s military campaign against the SDF and am particularly concerned given Turkey’s historical precedent of violence against ethnic minorities, as in the Armenian Genocide.
