Trump pulled 100 troops out of Syria and it's The End Of The World As We Know It. Eighteen years of war is just not enough for the Meddler-DoGooder Class (so long as it's not their children or grandchildren taking hot lead.)
Fortunately, there are others who agree that Trump is right.
...Trump sees there is no positive outcome for U.S. in Syria. He recognizes that U.S. troops in Syria serve as targets for Iranian proxies and Russian mercenaries who are backing Assad, while acting as an unwitting bargaining chip between the Kurds, Damascus, and Ankara....Well, then. Cui bono if the US remains??
...The Russians would love nothing more than for us to stay on the ground in Syria, backing the Syrian Kurds, posing a threat to perceived Turkish sovereignty....And all the spluttering, drooling, and wailing about ISIS??
...Those in the national defense establishment argue that we must stay on the ground, working with our partners (mostly Syrian Kurds) to ensure ISIS does not return. ISIS will return, regardless of our footprint in Syria. This is not a matter of “if” — unfortunately, it is “when.” To understand why, we need to look no further than a map. Sunnis living under Bashar Assad and an Iranian-backed Shia dominated Iraqi government between Fallujah in Iraq to Homs in Syria have no means of recourse but Sunni extremism. When the next manifestation of ISIS rears its head, we can quickly move to assist regional partners or to unilaterally crush it. In the meantime, let Shia Iran attempt to control this hotbed of extremism....Trump promised to get the US out of endless wars. They cost lives and treasure--and do NOT win friends and influence people. Of course the Pentagon and the State Department don't like it. Of course those who designed and constructed this trainwreck think we must continue on their path.
They are not the President. They and their proxy Hillary lost.
End of story.
