In October 2019, President Trump ordered the withdrawal of troops in Northern Syria. Pentagon officials told the President he should leave 200 there. What he didn't know was that they lied to him. They left 900 there instead, and never told him.
New York Post - 2020:
Retiring diplomat says defense officials misled Trump on troop count in Syria
The diplomat, "James Jeffrey, US special representative for Syria engagement was a Never Trumper, but was impressed with Trump's successes in the Middle East, and is now pushing the incoming Biden administration to adopt it.“
"The truth is President Trump and his policies are quite popular among all of our popular states in the region. Name me one that’s not happy.”
Which for the Biden administration, meant they had to go.
Funny,
I sent you a post which is spot on with what you just posted. They lied to Trump and no one is accountable.
Our government needs reigned in, i.e. limit on scope of powers, budgets, personal accountability/culpability of leaders, and greater transparency for the public.
Our government has become like a run-away nuclear chain reaction and it’ll eventually lead to a melt down, even with an enormous security apparatus which is aimed inward today, i.e. targeting the public.
The self correcting mechanisms in the past no longer work and dissent can be suppressed which is convenient for anyone in power. That allows the status quo to continue, but the pressure builds. I am afraid it will lead to a more volatile and bigger event once things do go off in the future.
There is still a good percentage of Americans that cherish their freedom and rights. With a massive intel and security apparatus, censorship and media control you can steer things or suppress them for a while.
