They think pulling out of Syria and Afghanistan would be a debacle. They think North Korea cannot be trusted. They think the Islamic State is still a threat to America. They think Russia is bad and NATO is good.
The trouble is their president does not agree.
More than two years into his administration, the disconnect between President Trump and the Republican establishment on foreign policy has rarely been as stark.

They. Source. Do not bother to read.
Perfectly stated.
The Republican establishment is NeoCon warmonger types, loving every single aspect of liberal philosophy except international belligerence.
Unfortunately, the report is true. Many of not most GOP establishment don’t want us to leave Syria and Afghanistan, and they’re starting to publicly take issue with Trump
everyone starts dumping on their imaginary republican bogeyman based on a retarded NYT story in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
Dear President Trump. Don't ignore them. Hang them.
We are still in Iraq, there are more than enough troops to keep the Kurds safe. As to Afghanistan, get out and just send in Special Ops as needed.
The story is not “imaginary”. Many Republican leaders have publicly criticized Trumps call for withdrawing from Syria and Afghanistan. Do some googling and you’ll see their statements, direct from their mouths
OK. Ben Sasse. I may be wrong, I don’t think I am, if I am I’ll eat a bug.
Legislative bodies historically have been fickle institutions. They chatter endlessly and whine. However they come about when leadership is exercised and things are accomplished. If Trump orders the Army Corp of Engineers to build a wall, regardless of the screaming it will get done. In two years those who opposed will no longer wish to discuss it. Also if he rids the Hemisphere of Maduro, he will be admired and have a real triumph. If Trump has real accomplishments despite Democratic opposition and some Republican subterfuge, the American people will reelect him. But he has to act, not just talk and tweet.
McConnell Rebukes Trump, Urges Keeping Troops in Syria, Afghanistan
You are supposed to keep voting for the Grahams, the Rubios, etc. even though they only want to protect other countries while ours in overrun.
GOP uber alles.
“McConnell rebukes Trump, urges keeping troops in Syria, Afghanistan”
Leaving and Trump’s leaving is not the same.
“McConnell rebukes Trump, urges keeping troops in Syria, Afghanistan”
I am just one American,but I will never be Republican again. The party has left me and it’s on its way to be totally irrelevant and only a slight variation of the DNC.
War, hoomp, good god ya’ll, what (WHO) is it good for!-)
NYT sorry will not read this.

Nothing imaginatively about it. McConnell himself will introduce a POTUS back stabbing amendment any day now on Syria and Afghanistan. With a Republican party like this who needs Democrats?
NYT sorry will not read this.
If only it were that easy to wish away the truth of the story - that GOP establishment is backstabbing Trump on foreign policy
