President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States should not interfere in Syria in a post on social media site Truth Social.
"Syria is a mess but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!" Trump said.
He also said that the rebels in Syria are on the outskirts of Damascus and are preparing for a major move to remove Assad.
"Russia, because of the heavy losses in Ukraine, cannot stop it. The Russians, like Assad, could be expelled from Syria - and that may be the best thing for them. Russia has never gained anything from being present in Syria."

But Obama loved shipping bombs to Syria.
Syria is a S#*+ Show, but not our show.
Bad guys everywhere you look.
May the bad guys kill as many of each other as possible, and let the few truly innocents alone.
Bump
While no saint, Assad is at least a secular ruler who protects Christians. The fact that “islamists” and the descendants of Al Qaeda may take over, with the tacit support of the USA, is an abomination
Good, well then when is he getting our troops out of there?
Recall that Pres. Trump ordered US military out of Syria, but US military lied and disobeyed. Compare that conduct to Biden’s humiliating surrender in Afghanistan, when the pansy US military obediently bugged out.
“There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid.”
LOLOL - Oh how I love this man.
I remember the speech at the correspondents dinner where zero went on and on trashing DJT - it was way overboard. Also many suspect that is what triggered Trump to run for POTUS. Touche!
Mr Trump, tell that to our meddling CIA.
Mike Johnson usually provides explicit dissent. Can't ask for a whole lot more. UK has just legalized "assisted dying." Go to war?
I'd wager an EO and directive to the military command to remove our 900-1,000 troops shortly after the inauguration.
Mr Trump, tell that to our meddling CIA.
And Trump is Putin’s ally. Right. Sure.

You are correct. We ignored the impact on Christians in the Iraq war and now we are doing it in Syria. We should take in Christians first from the Middle East, but no.
Right across that so called Red Line.
