“Mike Pompeo, recommended to President Trump that he shut down a four-year-old effort to arm and train Syrian rebels. The president swiftly ended the program. The rebel army was by then a shell, hollowed out by more than a year of bombing by Russian planes”.
A shameful chapter in US history. WE supported ISIS/FSA wahabbists, and thankfully jets with red stars saved Syria from a jihadi/Christian killing fate.
We literally switched sides in the war on terror.
“We literally switched sides in the war on terror.”
Don’t think that’s fair or accurate.
The Kurds were a better ally, as Trump realized.
But even the Obama admin saw that this operation was helping ISIS.
It’s a mess there.
