USS Abraham Lincoln en route to Persian Gulf, May 2019
I joined Austria’s Radio FM4 on Thursday to discuss confusion over US policy in the Middle East, with the leak of Pentagon proposal for the deployment of 10,000 troops.
As the Pentagon continues to push back against Donald Trump’s abrupt order in December to withdraw all US forces from Syria, we try to work through multiple and conflicting Trump Administration tactics: the debate over regime change in Iran and the US military approach, the ongoing fight over involvement in Syria, uncertainty over next steps in Iraq, muddle over alliance with Saudi Arabia and the Yemen civil war, and the Israel-Palestine plan — still to emerge — of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
If Trump has been there in 2011 thru 2015, Iran would never have gotten in and a half million more Syrians would still be alive. There would never have been a Russian involvement to save Assad, because he would have probably cut a deal with Russia. Keep Syria, but remove Assad and keep Iran and ISIS out..Russia woulda taken the deal because they know Trump isn’t beyond doing something crazy.
Obama was the worst. sat on his pedestal while he was watching people die, he should have that fake nobel prize he got for nothing taken away from him
