We have no business being in Syria. No more Middle East wars!!!
Get ready for China, stop chasing squirrels.
I completely agree with mostly disengaging from the ME and especially from Afghanistan. But. You don’t make promises to, and use, an entire people group and then walk away and let them get slaughtered. Especially by the Turks.
I’m fine with leaving. As long as the Turks understand that if they engage in their national pastime (genocide) we will destroy the bulk of their military capability.
As far as ‘getting ready for China’. We do not now, and never will have, the ability to take on China directly. With the help of the rest of Asia, AND RUSSIA, we can, at best, contain them.
