Trump has an uncanny ability to gauge the true sentiment on where the American people stand. The idea that the US pulling out of Syria is somehow a disaster waiting to happen fail to recognize that Obama missed the right window of opportunity back in 13 04 14 when the so called red lines were crossed and did nothing while the CIA was arming Al Qaeda affiliates as a response to Asaad agression is a true testament to the failure of US intelligence in a part of the world that is strategically important to the US. Time to bring the boys home. Folks are sick and tired of never ending wars where the heavy lifting is bourne by the people who would least benefit from it. Like Trump said, cease the oil and reap the rewards!
We didn’t arm rebels in response to Assad aggression. Wikileaks exposed that as far back as the Bush Administration, the US Embassy was making plans with USAID to exploit Sunni separatist groups in Syria and to create an overthrow.
This was pure CIA BS.
Under Assad, a female could wear a bikini on Latakia Beachoh, and dance while drinking Syrian made wine. Drive her own car home. Wear whatever clothes she wants or doesn’t want, have a job, and drive a car. And we decided to improve on that in the Middle East by bringing in Saudi and Gulf State Sunni government.
We gotta face facts. The entire Syrian problem was created at DC and Langley.
