Trumps pull out from Syria and ceding the region back to Assad’s control destroys the ambitions of those who wanted to take it from Assad to control oil supply lines to Europe

I posted pretty much the same a few days ago.

Note that Petraeus was the CIA Director who conceived Operation Timber Sycamore to arm dozens of Sunni Extremist Groups in Syria, many affiliated with Al Qaeda and ISIS, to overthrow Assad. Patraeus convinced Obama to support the operation, and Saudi Arabia to pay for it. Had Patraeus's plan worked, the Kurds would have been exterminated by the Sunni extremists once they succeeded in removing Assad.

In fact, NO ONE cared about the Syrian Kurds back then. Not Patraeus, not Obama, not Lindsey Graham, not John McCain, none of the people now crying that we have betrayed them. It was Trump who killed Timber Sycamore and moved all of our support to the Kurds.

Petraeus conceived and executed a war plan that would have given KSA and Qatar hundreds of billions of dollars in NG exports to Europe. Literally, 'Blood for Oil'. Trump spoiled that party, and THAT is why people are screaming.
