This Could Get Interesting: @RealDonaldTrump v. the Perpetual War Lobby. Trump has announced a pullout of US ground troops from Syria.
Apparently a drawdown of the US presence in Afghanistan, by about one third, is in play as well. [KN@PPSTER]
This isn’t the first time Trump has talked about withdrawing from Syria. Both times he did so as President, the “Syrian government” promptly launched “chemical weapon attacks” on their own territory. I won’t be at all surprised if this happens again and forces Trump to end the withdrawal.
On the other hand, the ruling class has been making a big deal about how abrupt and hasty the withdrawal order is. It’s entirely possible that Trump has noted what happened in the past when he talked about withdrawing, and gave the order so abruptly specifically to ensure that the “Syrian government” didn’t have a chance to arrange a “chemical weapon attack” to prevent it.
