American policy for some time now has been the removal Bashar al-Assad. Mr. trump just handed Bashar al-Assad, Russia, Iran - and ISIS - a huge massive win.
This is how fucked up and how stupid the Trump administration is.... Ten minutes before Trump tweeted "We defeated ISIS" in Syria.... ISIS in Syria announced they had just completed a terrorist attack in ISIS. WTF?
Don't get me wrong. I am on record here no GFY as saying we shouldn't be in Syria. This is none of our business. Syria is in the Russian sphere of influence, always has been, and it's not our problem. We surely do not want to directly confront Russia in a combat zone, which seems to have happened (and they got their asses kicked badly). But now I question the motive - Was this keeping a campaign promise, or was it because it was something he promised Putin in one of the sixteen secret contacts the Trump administration has had with the Russian government?
The President of the United just lied. He said "ISIS is defeated". They aren't. We already know this. Moments before Mr. trump made the announcement they staged a terrorist attack. How is it Mr. trump can tell a lie to the American people and the entire country not be up in arms about it?
