Post Vietnam, being a third world US “ally” has been a very precarious position. It’s a function of our own internal political strife caused by a radical left, and hidden deep state. Nothing is quite as it appears on the surface, and is subject to political change

The lesson is: don’t trust Fed.gov

Wall Street Journal - President Trump’s defeat of Islamic State as a territorial power was a major foreign-policy success, yet he may now undo it with a retreat from Syria that will also signal to U.S. allies that the White House can’t be trusted.

You know who really learned that the hard way?

Gaddafi

Here’s a guy that saw Saddam go down, figured he was next, so he VOLUNTARILY gave up his WMD program hoping to avoid the same fate. We airlifted nuclear materials out of the country.

Obama takes the Presidency, and he, Hillary, and the Euros figure they can loot Libya, so Gaddafi gets taken down and murdered despite having done that.

And we wonder why Kim is difficult to negotiate with.

What no one wants to mention is GW Bush, Obama, and Hillary destabilized the region. That opened the door for Obama to have the US go into Syria and use a spurious Bush mandate to enter in to and un-declared war there. There were no good exit strategies at that point. Trump had a Hobson’s choice on his hands and made a tough decision no one else was willing to make. History will show it to be the right decision IMHO.
