One day Trump withdraws 1000 US troops from Syria, throwing our faithful Kurdish allies under the bus. He says it is consistent with his campaign pledge to keep the US out of foreign wars. Then the next day he sends even more troops to defend Saudi Arabia (you know, the guys who flew planes into the WTC, the ones that murdered a journalist in the Turkish embassy and slaughtered civilians in Yemen?) I wonder what kind of quid pro quo he got from Mohammad Bin Salman?

So much for not wanting to be involved in endless wars. What a disappointment.

Trump the war monger. Wonder how long it will be before we invade Iran?

Personally I wouldn't want to be stationed in Saudi Arabia. My sympathies for the troops being sent there.

This thread is awfully quiet from the usual Trump faithful. I guess the "Why do libs want more war" talking point about the Kurd situation cannot be used anymore. Just more hypocrisy and contradiction that- surprise!- benefits authoritarian regimes instead of allies.

I believe he is referring to the 50 specialist that served as the 'trip wire' at the border; they were moved back. Meanwhile, 1000 troops remain deployed to Syria; none have actually left.



As for Saudi Arabia, this makes 14,000 troops deployed to that country since May.



Why do we sell them weapons again?
