problem for trump here is the following:

when they are successful and could fight ISIS they will not buy more weapons.
so better donīt teach them to do it and keep the biz going.

syria is even worse because there he had to fight indirectly with the russians and putin does not like that.

so here it is also better to sell weapons to ISIS and the syrian army and keep the biz going.

if money would not be the reason I would say: right done

but letīs see for wich other country he needs this troops.
Anyone who thinks the presence of foreign troops in the ME will stop or start ME people from killing each other needs educating.

If they don't buy weapons from the West, Russia and China will be more than happy to sell them.

But we have come to expect this level of deep thought from Thommy.
