I don't like these events at all. ISIS is not completely defeated yet and Turkey is threatening our Kurdish allies who we fought alongside to defeat ISIS. Having these troops here are also a check against growing Iranian ambitions. There are a lot of reasons to keep these 2000 troops in Syria.

I think we're getting ourselves out of a monkey in the middle situation.

My biggest distrust is Turkey.

Admin Moderator,

It looks like I posted this right after Mariner had put up the same post. No use in having two threads, please pull my post so we can all comment in one thread on the subject.

Thanks,

Old Teufel Hunden

Could be the President saying this in the same vein as when he says he’ll end chain migration or have Mexico pay for the wall. He thinks it is a good idea, but probably will not be able to get it done.

How long before the false flag “chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime on civilians”? Calling it now.
