Summary
Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that the U.S. “should have nothing to do with” Syria, sparking criticism from experts.
Critics noted that 900 U.S. troops are currently stationed there, assisting Kurdish forces to prevent an ISIS resurgence.
Experts fear Trump may withdraw these troops, potentially destabilizing the region.
Analysts warn this stance reflects a shift toward a reduced U.S. global influence, with some seeing it as a preview of a post-American global security order.
Critics also question Trump’s understanding of U.S. involvement in Syrian affairs.
Unpopular opinion but probably the only good policy Trump has is getting the US out of places we don’t need to be.
Doesn’t outweigh the ahem rest of his stuff, but we’d be throwing the ticker tape if a Dem came out as anti-World Police as he is.
he didn’t do them for the policy choice. he did them because he’s a greedy asshole doing favors for his ‘buddies’ in exchange for ‘services’ and ‘funding’.
What’s good for the feather is good for the flock in this case, then. If Trump has incentive to get American troops out of places they don’t need to be, so be it. It’s much preferable to the politicians who have an incentive to put American troops in places they don’t need to be
