I wish most of you would not treat this in normal political favor.
It seems to be in Russian/Putin interest. And Iran's.
Everyone knows we do not disengage from conflict in this way.
It leaves a power vacuum that Turkey, Russia and Iran will be quick to advantage themselves.
Turkey will begin killing the Kurds in the name of fighting terrorism. Syria is in Putin's pocket as it has been. They are going to divide up the nation. Even if they make no new border. Iran has a large presence there as well so I don't understand what they get out of it outside of influence. But don't forget both Iran and Russia have a interest in Afghanistan.
I do not disagree with a pullback or pull out. Just not in this way with this much speed.
Funny nothing has been mentioned of all the troops spread throughout Africa aiding/fighting terror groups (supposedly) so what happens to them ? Or they really only fighting/assisting just what is needed in US corporate interest.
In any case, it is my belief that Putin has made some grand bargain with Turkey and Iran and Trump has been in his pocket.
Putin fears Trump will not be in office much longer so he wanted it NOW.
There is a part of me that wants the same pull-out, but only for this reason. If those nations that have such a interest in being there will become the new target for many.
I really don't think they can afford it. We really couldn't.
But there will be no appetite for going back in with troops once we are out no matter the outcome.
But the true concerning issue is the influence of a foreign nation on POTUS decisions.
And the destruction of relationships, that for the most part, have kept the world somewhat at peace, but not without conflict. We are going to witness one of the largest power grabs in our memorable history.
Don't try to sugar coat this for your political agendas. It's that serious.
