Seems like an acknowledgement that GCC has things under control regarding ISIS & doesn't need US boots on the ground. CNN was apoplectic. No one here (assuming she meant CNN) nor in the WH saw this coming. Was he lying about never telegraphing military moves or is he lying about this or both.

(Just my guess) Once the Mullahs are gone, we won't need to be in Syria. I'm thinking 45 is planning on them being gone by November - so "soon" might be 6 months, but that's still faster than anyone would expect.

He's completing the hand-over of our Middle East influence to Putin that Obama started.

Trump's second call with our president was even longer than the first. Asking these types of questions for our country is something the Obama administration never did. The Obama administration was the most academic administration we have ever had to deal with but the Trump administration has been the most thoughtful and intelligent. Trump continually asked “How can you win? What does Afghanistan need to win?” in reference to our fight with terrorism. Trump wants to win. Sincerely. All the Obama administration wanted to do was not lose.

ALF Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I have concerns about Putin and Ukraine for now. What might China do on trade and it's expanding military power. If borrowing continues to increase at the present pace that could be a problem.

Clearly you did not read the article - or pay attention to reality the past 8 years. Partisianship is blinding you. Be better. Be smarter than the very partisanship you're railing against. 6 hours ago, ALF said: I have concerns about Putin and Ukraine for now. What might China do on trade and it's expanding military power. If borrowing continues to increase at the present pace that could be a problem. If Putin wanted the Ukraine he could have and would have taken it in 14. No one would have stopped him. As for China - they already blinked after threatening a trade war, and they are legitimately helping with the DPRK for the first time ... Will it last? Dunno.

The GCC has defeated Hezbollah in multiple countries, the funding for Shia and Sunni terror groups originating out of the KSA (and backed by CIA elements) has been cut off and seized. The ME is going to fix itself by ousting the Mullahs by November while we keep Putin and China from interfering. By the end of this year we are going to have a denuclearized DPRK, a mullah-less Iran, and the ground paved for real peace talks between Israel and Palestine. ... And Obama will get credit. 1 hour ago, DC Tom said: That's not a new position: the Arabian peninsula has hated and been terrified of Iran for...decades, really.
