Donald Trump Is Pulling Out Of Syria
|
He's doing this as a distraction just like the troops at the border crap. The Pentagon was blindsided by this crap. The fucker is desperate to take attention away from the fact he has 17 investigations into he and his circle and family.
Donald Trump pulls out of a lot of things it seems

All the noise about ISIS and humanitarian efforts has always just been a pretense. We're only there for oil. ISIS will be around for a long time because they're fanatics. Let someone else keep them in check for a while. The only question we should be concerned with is whether or not that oil is worth all the aggravation. If the goal is to use less oil, pollute less, and save the planet from global warming (or whatever) then pulling out of Syria would seem to be a step in the right direction.
Unless of course Elon Musk, the political left, and all the climate change alarmists are all wrong and we really do need the oil... 
It's only 2000 troops, meh.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

The people best qualified to examine the issue? All of them are 'alarmists'?

I have been consistent in saying that global policy cannot be either isolation or colonialism, but case by case. As far as Bush's two wars, a drone strike without announcement could have taken out Bin Laden instead of an invasion of Afghanistan. Iraq Dick Cheney lied his way into. Bush Sr's first Iraq war I agreed with although I wish he had finished the job back then, because we were invited and our allies had our backs in the first Gulf War. The problem with pulling out after you commit is that you risk creating a power vacuum and resentment on top of that by the people you claimed to have wanted to help. 45 is inept and dangerous. Putin is playing him and so are the Saudis and North Korea. No service member wants to be in the line of fire. That makes it paramount for the leadership in control of our military to be competent and understand the weight of risk, of going in, staying in and leaving. I will laugh in your face if you think the current occupant of the White House understands his responsibility, especially after ignoring his own intel on Russia and North Korea. 45 is simply pulling another distraction because the walls are closing in on him and his family. |
