Barry arguably committed a U. N.-defined International War Crime by invading a sovereign nation without its leaders' / govt's permission to do so or approval to do so.You're too wrapped up in your domestic politics to be able to accept the facts on why Syria was saved from another US led war.In fact, Obama presented his 'red line' speech to Assad and then Putin and Assad quickly accepted Obama's demands. Obama obviously knew they would!Obama was reportedly pulling troops out of Afghanistan. Instead, not only did he leave them there, he started a new war by invading Syria. As he walked out of the WH he left troops in Syria to fight HIS war. So what's your point?
Trump supported Biden pulling out. Then again Trump said he was pulling the military out. So winning wasn’t an option. At least according to Trump.

Trump backs Afghanistan withdrawal, putting him at odds with some Republicans
Mr. Trump called the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan "wonderful and positive."www.cbsnews.com
That opened the opportunity for Assad to get out from under the WMD excuse America was in the process of manufacturing that would justify a war. The elimination of Syria's WMD's was quickly accomplished to the satisfaction of all parties.
Putin/Russia then walked into Syria with military force, therein nullifying any US designs for a war on Syria. The WMD lie that worked on Iraq, didn't work on Syria. Obama in effect become a champion of peace, while becoming a traitor to his country's foreign policy aggression.
Obama never invaded Syria. Congress refused to authorize it. Obama provided technical support and air assistance to coalition forces fighting ISIS.
When Trump took over as president, he continued with Obama’s program to eradicate ISIS and changed nothing. In fact, Trump bombed a Assad’s airbase, (after telling Putin he was going to do it), something Obama never did.
The troops that Obama left in Syria are still there, guarding the oil fields. Trump ordered them to stop protecting the Kurds from the Turks, but he left those troops in Syria.
Although your understanding of what took place in Syria is convoluted and confused, I think I've given you at least a basic understanding of how it all went down.
Obama obviously had never heard the old Foreign Policy saying, 'never bluff unless you are willing to back it up.'
Barry issued his 'red line' to Al-Assad with no intention of doing anything. Feeling pretty confident due to Putin having his back, al-Assad called his bluff...
...then in front of the whole world - enemies as well as allies - Barry backed down, demonstrating the appearance of weakness. The world laughed.
Barry tried to save facy by declaring to the word his 'red Line' was not just HIS 'Red Line' but was 'THE WORLD'S 'Red Line.
-- The entire world quickly said, 'Oh hell NO It isn't' ... and then laughed at him again.
Later, The Nobel Peace Prize winner committed a United Nations-Defined 'International War Crime' by illegally invading a sovereign nation - SYRIA - without having either the leaders of that nation inviting him to do so OR giving him their permission to do so.
Onthe day he walked out of the WH, he left US military troops in Syria to fight HIS war.
And one of the 1st things Biden did when he entered the WH was to ESCALATE Barry's War by sending in more troops.
Do you ever post anything that isn’t a lie.
Obama gave his “red line in the sand” speech before asking Congress for permission to go to war in Syria. It was the Republican Congress which refused to authorize military action in Syria that caused Obama to back down.
For Republicans they got to publicly publicly embarrass Obama in front of the world. And then forever after blame him for backing down.
Republicans also blamed Obama for pulling out Iraq. W sign the withdrawal of forces agreement that called for US troops to leave Iraq, AFTER he left office.
This ensured that whatever happened thereafter would be blamed on the next guy. That’s much too clever by half for W who wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. I suspect that Cheney was behind that one.
That's o.k., I'm still convinced that Obama was one of the greatest. And so does Russia. Obama purposely hijacked the propaganda effort to demonize Syria with another WMD lie that would result in war. It was the perfect demand by Obama that Assad and Putin would never turn down.
And then didn't America scream and pretend that Assad didn't comply!
Barry called out al-Assad for using chem weapons against his own people - he issued his 'Red Line'...and al-Assad, backed by Russia, humiliated Barry in front of the whole world by calling Barry's bluff he was not willing to follow through on.
His attempt to claim it was not HIS 'red line' but was instead the ENTIRE WORLD'S 'red line' was especially humiliating. Instead of joining them the world laughed at him.
What is the reason for invading Syria? With Russia/Putin protecting al-Assad there was no way we were ever going to be allowed to overthrow al-Assad / Syria. So why did the Nobel Peace Prize Winner start a new war?
And why did Biden escalate Barry's war as soon as he got in office by sending more US troops into Syria?
