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.
I would think so.
For one they are likely very well equipped.
For another, it may be less about the troops themselves and more about the implications of what happens if you mess with American troops.
For example, read up on operation Paul Bunyan for an example of what happens when you mess with a seemingly manageable American force.
