Trump made a promise to the American people to avoid, and end, foreign entanglements.
This week the attack is that he is leaving Syria, and abandoning the atheistic Marxist terrorists who aided us....to their own advantage....against the JV that Obama strengthened, ISIS.
How quickly the media forget Vietnam.
1. The weakness of Nixon due to the Watergate scandal allowed the Left-Wing Democrats to destroy any hope of either the United States living up to its commitments in South Vietnam, or of even allowing the aid that would have allowed the South to defend itself. Starting with the 1974 budget, they refused to allocate another penny, and forbade US military action “in or over” Indochina. Thus, no airstrikes if the North violated the peace treaty. They wanted the North to win….and they did.
2. In the scholarly “The Black Book of Communism,” Stephane Courtois, et. al. calculate (p. 572) that the Communists immediately shipped between 200,000 and a million to ‘reeducation camps’ out of a population of 20 million.

Recall the suave assurances from, say, the Times, that “disengagement from a civil war in which the United States should never have become engaged need not shake this country’s position in the world.”
The same people tut-tutting about the Kurds had no problem whatsoever stabbing our friends in Saigon in the back by defunding American commitments for military assistance to enforce the Paris Peace Accords. And they were fully content to see North Vietnamese forces crush our former allies and send millions of formerly free South Vietnamese to concentration camps and forced exile."
