Face it, Trump is completely CLUELESS on Foreign Policy (and a DISGRACE to the Presidency). Of course, Daddy Vlad LOVES the move:
With Trump is promises made promises kept. One reason for his widespread support. I wonder how anti war centrists/moderates/independents will feel about this?
Syria was a failed state by 2006.. You might read up on Syria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafez_al-Assad
The unnamed official said that Trump had gotten “rolled” by his Turkish counterpart. “President Trump was definitely out-negotiated and only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something,” the National Security Council source said. “The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that’s the bottom line.”
Somewhere less than chess but. " no one" plays ChiCom checkers anymore. In the 1980's my mother in law gave my daughter my wife's old set. My daughter asked if I played that "dumb" game when I served in the "Civil War".
If you are pissed at the Iraq fiasco being contrived by fake claims of wmd stockpiles. I understand. And, when the US abided by Bush's SOFA and withdrew American forces on the date he had agreed to, the scheme to establish a permanent US military presence there collapsed. Tens of thousands of innocents dead, millions displaced, and the region destabilized. Who would want to sacrifice a loved one for that fiasco? Certainly, not my friends who endured it, nor those who risk it in Trump's continued deployments to Afghanistan, despite all his phony rhetoric.
He wasn't lying...he never said he was totally going to leave them..he made clear that if Turkey hurt our allies, there would be issues...he also made clear if the red line is violated there would be issues.
We occupied iraq Its up to us under what conditions we leave So the aftermath of withdrawal and the rise of ISIS falls on obamas head not bush
Syria was No more a failed state then any of the others in the ME Before that civil war. From the looks of things if People like the US stopped involvement that civil war would probably end fairly fast at this point to The big difference is Syria doesnt have oil to fund all the stuppid things others can afford. And they where far more lenient on woman or other religions then most down there.
