[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Number 2 is pure fantasy."

They are in negotiations as I type this right now. If we pull out now, we will lose all of our leverage to have an outcome that is in our National Security Interests. This is why Russia and Turkey have come out in favor of our announced pullout. They don't have our best interests at heart. Who do you think has America's best national security interests in mind? The multitude of American defense experts who are against this or Russia and Turkey who are for this. That tells you all you need to know.

So many people act like the Russians are an invading force in Syria. Syria is a sovereign nation, and the Russians are there because the Syrian government WANTS them there.

WE are the invaders there. U.S. troops in Syria are the legal and moral equivalent of Chinese or Mexican troops in California.
