Trump is right. It’s almost laughable to hear talking heads criticize Trump for his Syria decision telling us that it’s in our “national interest” to keep our troops there when we have people trying to storm our borders.

On its face, Trumps announcement that he is pulling US forces out of Syria seems like an unfriendly act toward Israel This presumes we were in Syria to help Israel. We were not.

At some future date, maybe not long from now, I believe the Muslim governments and the Europeans will FORCE Israel back to the 1967 borders and then “guarantee” peace. Maybe the treaty itself will last 7 years?
But it would hail the End Times.
That’s what I see in the EU statement in the text.
The biggest single impediment to getting the peace process—as they envision—done, is to force Israel out of the greater part of Judea, the Golan, and half of Jerusalem.
This means pushing her back to way it was in 1967 before the 6-day War.
History being revealed.
Who will lead the coalition to make this happen?
The Anti Christ.

Trump has once again "trumped" the drivebys into castigating him for removing 2,000 troops from Syria. Never mind he had already arranged to get the UAE and the Saudis to replace the 2,000 troops!! No one will even cover that story but just blast Trump any way they can any time they can. Trump would never diss the Kurds they have stood by us forever and he made sure they were taken care of.
In addition Saudi Arabia,no doubt thanks to MBS I would presume, has also agreed to invest over 1 billion dollars into the Kurdish areas which over lap into Syria,Turkey Iraq and one other country I forget which one.
So as usual Trump has all the bases covered even though the drivebys will never admit it.They just keep taking cheap shots and him.

Thank you for posting. Nothing about the conflict is simple. This article explains why part of that is so.
I'm deeply concerned with some messages we are sending to relatively new allies in the Middle East.

In the words of Donald Rumsfeld it was the least-worst option.
Aside from a full-on occupation, which absolutely NOBODY is willing to do, he did not have a lot of other choices.

It looks like Mattis was a significant part of that oppostion.
