Trump Supporters only, please - do you support Trump's pulling US forces out of Syria

Trump Supporters only, please - do you support Trump's pulling US forces out of Syria?

Rick Santorum said today that he thinks few of Trump's base will support this (the 'way' he is doing it).

I 100% support the withdrawal AND the way he is doing it - big kudos to Trump for doing this, but I am definitely not part of Trump's base.

So what say you, his base?

 

[kyzr]

I'm surprised that Rick commented on this. If he'd be more of a team player he might land a good job.

They should have been pulled out some time ago. The Nato org needs to take over the support of locals in this fight, we are not the worlds Police Department and never wanted to be, This was the idea of the Democrat Nation builders who got us into the war in Nam. The Democrats had full control of the Nation during this time the Senate, Congress, and the President. So look at History and you make the decision.

 

[LaDexter]

There is no US national interest in having US troops in Syria.

Those who are pissed about the withdraw are all 100% for ISRAEL and 0% for the US...

I'm a Trump supporter and I do support his withdrawal from Syria: Deep State with the hands of crooked Obama started the conflict there, it's time to stop all Obama's conflicts and to restore the areas to help the refugees come back home.

Rachel Marsden: President Putin, Rachel Marsden with the Tribune Publishing out of Chicago, United States.

President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the American troops from Syria.

What is your position with respect to his statements, both on the withdrawal of the American troops from Syria and also with his statement regarding the defeat of ISIS by the United States?

Vladimir Putin: As concerns the defeat of ISIS, overall I agree with the President of the United States. I already said that we achieved significant progress in the fight against terrorism in that territory and delivered major strikes on ISIS in Syria.

There is a risk of these and similar groups migrating to neighbouring regions and Afghanistan, to other countries, to their home countries, and they are partly returning.

It is a great danger for all of us, including Russia, the United States, Europe, Asian countries, including Central Asia. We know that, we understand the risk fully. Donald is right about that, and I agree with him.

As concerns the withdrawal of American troops, I do not know what that is. The United States have been present in, say, Afghanistan, for how long? Seventeen years, and every year they talk about withdrawing the troops. But they are still there. This is my second point.

Third. So far, we have not seen any evidence of their withdrawal but I suppose it is possible, the more so because we are progressing towards a political settlement. The current issue on the agenda is building a constitutional committee.

Is the presence of American troops required there? I do not think it is. However, let us not forget that their presence, the presence of your troops, is illegitimate as it was not approved by a UN Security Council resolution. The military contingent can only be there under a resolution of the UN Security Council or at the invitation of the legitimate Syrian Government. Russian troops were invited by the Syrian Government. The United States did not get either of these so if they decide to withdraw their troops, it is the right decision.

There is another very important component in this process. Despite all the disagreements, our specialists, our military personnel, security services and foreign ministries have established a rather constructive dialogue to address acute issues in combating terrorism in Syria. Overall, we are satisfied with our cooperation.

[LA RAM FAN]

Thank god all the Trump hating trolls who love wars have so far respected not coming in here trolling. You know i AGREE so no need to say anything else here.

 

[pismoe]

i'm ok with the withdrawal . Saudi Arabia and UAE are supposed to be helping the 'kurds' fight 'isis' and 'turkey' .

 

[2aguy]

What they aren't telling us in the news is the Saudis and other locals are stepping up....... I don't see a problem......if there is, we can go back in...

Take a look at this...

Mattis Is Wrong—This Scholar-General Was Right



Odom went on to list the arguments—many of the same arguments Trump heard applied to Afghanistan from Mattis and McCain and McMaster and Kelly and Tillerson and Pence 16 months ago; and the same as we are hearing from almost everywhere today.

Here are a few notes from the familiar refrain, with the essence of Odom’s responses:

We would leave behind a civil war.

“Iraqis are already fighting Iraqis. Insurgents have killed far more Iraqis than Americans. That’s civil war.”

We would lose credibility on the world stage.

“A hyperpower need not worry about credibility. That’s one of the great advantages of being a hyperpower: When we have made a big strategic mistake, we can reverse it. And it may even enhance our credibility. Staying there damages our credibility more than leaving.”

It would embolden the insurgency and cripple the move toward democracy.

“The U.S. will not leave behind a liberal, constitutional democracy in Iraq no matter how long it stays. Holding elections is easy. It is impossible to make it a constitutional democracy in a hurry.”

The scholar, soldier and strategist whose words our government needs to consider most of all today is the late William Odom, who said presciently:

“Those who fear leaving a mess are actually helping make things worse while preventing a new strategic approach with some promise of success.”

Yes, Russians had to step in and to clean American [Obama's] mess. And it already cost about 75 deaths of best Russian pilots, fire correctors and even nurses there (15 pilots were killed a couple of months ago due to Israeli provocation). It seems to make you happy, doesn't it?

Here is a couple of young Russian nurses killed in Aleppo.

And that was the place where they were curing wounded Syrian civilians when attacked.

It's NOT Russian government is evil, it's American Media is lying.

Stephen Cohen:

5. Putin’s success in restoring Russia’s role in world affairs is usually ascribed to his “aggressive” policies, but it is better understood as a realization of what is characterized in Moscow as the “philosophy of Russian foreign policy” since Putin became leader in 2000. It has three professed tenets. The first goal of foreign policy is to protect Russia’s “sovereignty,” which is said to have been lost in the disastrous post-Soviet 1990s. The second is a kind of Russia-first nationalism or patriotism: to enhance the well-being of the citizens of the Russian Federation. The third is ecumenical: to partner with any government that wants to partner with Russia. This “philosophy” is, of course, non- or un-Soviet, which was heavily ideological, at least in its professed ideology and goals.

6. Considering Washington’s inability to “isolate Russia,” considering Russia’s diplomatic successes in recent years, and considering the bitter fruits of US militarized and regime-change foreign policies (which long predate President Trump), perhaps it’s time for Washington to learn from Moscow rather than demand that Moscow conform to Washington’s thinking about—and behavior in—world affairs. If not, Washington is more likely to continue to isolate itself.
Russian Diplomacy Is Winning the New Cold War

Demonization of Putin is one of the biggest threats to American national security,Stephen Cohen.

 

[Sunni Man]

Obama could have solved the Syrian problem when it first started, and America would have been seen in the Middle East as the good guy.

The Syrian revolt was a grass roots uprising by average citizens wanting to get rid of the brutal dictator Assad. These citizen freedom fighters were actually winning at first using outdated weapons and combined with unbridled enthusiasm.

They begged Obama for the weapons to achieve their freedom, but he turn a blind eye to their request, and in fact supported an embargo against allowing them to acquire weapons from other countries.

When the dictator Assad started gassing the Syrian people, Obama drew a symbolic line in the sand. Which Assad immediately crossed and taunted Obama to do something about it. Obama slinked away and did nothing.

Putin, who backed Assad, immediately saw that Obama was a coward and made his country the major player in the Syrian war.

By the time Trump was elected, the civil war was in it's final stages, and there wasn't much he could do to salvage the situation and save face for America. ....

 

[Oddball]

Didn't vote for him or anyone else...When h's right, he's right.....When he's wrong, he's wrong.

I support leaving Syria and exiting all foreign wars.

It looks like White Helmets have staged all the alleged Assad's "gas attacks". Assad was winning with the help of Russians, he did NOT need any gas attacks. Besides he got rid of all chemical weapons and Obama had publicly admitted that fact.

American journalist Pearson Sharp

One America News reporter Pearson Sharp visited the war-torn town of Douma outside the capital of Damascus, looking for evidence of a chemical attack. However, residents there deny the claims of an attack, and say it was staged to help the rebels escape.

"When I asked [the doctors at the hospital] what they thought the chemical attack was, they told me --all of them told me-- that it was staged by the rebels who are occupying the town at the time. They said it was a fabrication and a hoax an when I asked them why, they told me it was because the rebels were desperate, and they needed a ploy to get the Syrian army off their backs so they could escape," Sharp reported.

^ This was the only brave American journalist who came to Syria to look for the truth. The others obviously were pussies to report about "gas attacks" which they had no clue about thus were only pleasing Deep State.

I don't believe Assad gassed people....I believe that was a false flag ruse, designed to call for the overthrow of one of the very few moderate Mulim regimes left in all the ME.

In the ME, brutality amongst heads of state is a requisite...Especially so with the leaders who don't want the goat raping lunatics at the fringes of Sunni and Shia factions to run roughshod over their countrysides.....We have seen with not only with Assad, but also Saddam, Mubarak, King Abdullah, etcetera.
