After President Trump announced the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, in his usual manner (via Twitter), a flurry of indignation struck him. The squall is no less than after the unilateral withdrawal of America from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in October of this year.
As we know, this flurry of indignation concerning nuclear missiles soon subsided. However, it sank only after Trump's critics finally bothered to read the text of the treaty and were able to ascertain that it concerns only land-based missiles and does not affect sea, air, and space-based nuclear weapons at all. At the same time, the USA has at least a tenfold advantage over Russia in sea-based and air-based nuclear systems. The hysteria about this in America and Europe has remained calm for a long time, but in Russia, this move of Trump still causes undisguised irritation.
I hope the unfair accusations of "betraying the Allies" and "New Year's gift to Iran and Russia" will soon also subside. An example must be taken from Russia – she has already learned her lessons in dealing with Trump, and there is no euphoria in the Kremlin about the "withdrawal of American troops" from Syria. Why?

Muslims are not “good guys.”
George Wassouf?
Are there any buildings still standing?
What good guys....short of the Kurds and a few Christians Syria is bereft of good guys....
It is reassuring to hear a real expert’s perspective on the situation in Syria. It is also good to hear that US Increases in production of Energy is helping the situation rather than just military forces.
Just Christians and other minority groups - the rest are all lovers of death and should not be disappointed ...
But when G.W. Bush was president, Pelosi said Assad was a good guy.
From Tom Friedman's "MidEast Rules to Live By":
"#8 Rule 8: Civil wars in the Arab world are rarely about ideas — like liberalism vs. communism. They are about which tribe gets to rule. So, yes, Iraq is having a civil war as we once did. But there is no Abe Lincoln in this war. It’s the South vs. the South."
Nothing but muooslems. Al the Christians are gone from Syria. Let them have at it.
There are no “good guys” in our international system.
There are “useful” and “not useful” guys, and enemies.
Which proves two things:
1. Pelosi is a lying miscreant and Yentah.
2. Bush was inept ( just like his father, RIP)
Excellent observations-on both counts.
Muslims killing Muslims is a good thing. Keeps ‘em too busy to kill us!
No good or bad in politics and nations. We have no friends, only interests. Good rule, Don’t get involved in Civil Wars. Imagine if France or England send troops to the Confederacy?
