There is a difference between ending and giving up. A difference between finishing the job and abandoning allies. A difference between victory and creating a power vacuum that will be filled by some bad people (i.e. Iran and a Putin emboldened Syria which will both threaten Israel)

Bad move. Though not surprise the isolationist Paul doesn’t think so.

How many more years would that have took? How much longer before we heard "ISIS defeated, time to pull out"?

The Marshall Plan officially the European Recovery Program, ERP was an American initiative to aid Western Europe. $100 billion in 2016 US dollars in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II. We have spent nearly 20 times in Afghanistan after 17 years what we spent rebuilding Europe. And it’s not really any better now than it was 17 years ago. Time to start removing our troops. U.S. spending of more than $7 trillion(7,000,000,000,000) on conflicts and reconstruction efforts in the Middle East, Syria and Afghanistan in the last 20 years..

“Bad move”

I think Trump wants to try removing the troops and if problems arise he can do something to quell them.

I think also that he wants to send another signal to the world that he’s not all talk and no action.

Syria is a sovereign nation. Explain our moral right to invade another country that is not a clear and present danger to us without a declaration of war.
