Trump Ends Obama's War in Syria
President Trump defied and shocked the political Establishment by announcing that The United States would end Military operations in Syria and be our pulling troops out of that Country.
The mental gymnastics the liberal establishment has used to oppose Trump's decision to pull out of Syria is stunning. Consider The Atlantic.
These articles are from last year and earlier this year.
Holy Sheeet! Trump just did something sane.
A couple weeks ago I asked a couple simple questions:
Why, oh why, would we choose the YPG-dominated SDF, over our long time NATO ally?
Why are we militarily containing Turkey?
This mention, today, is the first I've heard of this incident.
On November 30, following almost two-and-a-half months of silence, the Israeli air force bombed Syria with three waves of cruise missiles. The first and second waves were repulsed over southern Syria, and the third, composed of surface-to-surface missiles, were also downed. At the same time, a loud explosion was heard in al-Kiswah, resulting in the blackout of Israeli positions in the area.
It didn't take long for the Trump Administration to decide that false-flag operations were only conspiracy theories when it was convenient.
Why, oh why, would we choose the YPG-dominated SDF, over our long time NATO ally?
Make no mistake, we have set our military against Turkey, and that is huge.
A couple months ago the Trump Administration revealed that they planned massive mission creep in Syria, with the objective of getting Iranian forces out of Syria.
The fly in the ointment has been Turkey's hostility to the Syrian Kurds, our primary allies in Syria.
Those darn Russians are aggressively threatening everyone.
Don't believe me? Just look at this Bloomberg article published today titled:
