[QUOTE]Trump Considering Full Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Syria

President Trump is considering pulling 2,000 United States ground troops out of Syria in a move that would seek to describe the four-year American-led war against the Islamic State as largely won, officials said Wednesday.

Rebuilding America's Defenses recommended establishing four core missions for US military forces: the defense of the "American homeland," the fighting and winning of "multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars," the performance of "'constabular' duties associated with shaping the security environment" in key regions, and the transformation of US forces "to exploit the 'revolution in military affairs.'" Its specific recommendations included the maintenance of US nuclear superiority, an increase of the active personnel strength of the military from 1.4 to 1.6 million people, the redeployment of US forces to Southeast Europe and Asia, and the "selective" modernization of US forces. The report advocated the cancellation of "roadblock" programs such as the Joint Strike Fighter (which it argued would absorb "exorbitant" amounts of Pentagon funding while providing limited gains), but favored the development of "global missile defenses," and the control of "space and cyberspace," including the creation of a new military service with the mission of "space control." To help achieve these aims, Rebuilding America's Defenses advocated a gradual increase in military and defense spending "to a minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8 percent of gross domestic product, adding $15 billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually.[45]

Iran. They'll be ramping up tensions over the next year. By the time Trump is up for re-election it will be a full blown war. This will make Israel and Saudi Arabia very happy and will help Trump win a second term.

kurds did all the dirty work to push isis back and we're abandoning them cause we're shook by erdogan]

100% false. The kurds have spent more time trying to fight the SAA than ISIL. Syria was secured from the Israel and US backed terrorists by the SAA and the Russian airforce.

Why do you neocons (thats what you are now Don) have such a hard on for useless fgt kurds? Is it because you are all trotskyites?

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming

I'm back where I belong,
Yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you with me put your hands high
(Put your hands high)

If you ever lost a light before,
This ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you
I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I always feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day another Dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
It's easy to be Puff, but its harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask me why I ain't marry their mom (why, damn!)
How do I respond?

What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Shit! But I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs
Another day another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Taneisha I'll be back in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong

The simple thing that dumb people don’t want to acknowledge is that the Middle East is either going to be dominated by the Israel+Sunni side, which is aligned with America or the Iran/Shi’a side which is aligned with countries like Russia.

Are countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt good on human rights? No. Do they share our values? No. But it is what it is. The options are what they are.

I have no idea if this is a good move or not. My instinct is that it isn’t. But the problem is there is so little information. We know almost nothing about the realities on the ground compared to people like the access that Trump, Mattis and Pompeo have.

Like I said, my instinct is that it’s a bad move, but not a devastating mistake like pulling out of Iraq. There supposedly are 2,000 troops who are only in an advising role. My instinct is we’re better off leaving them there.

I don’t know how anyone that isn’t trolling can look at all of the details coming out lately and not think that our presidency isn’t working for Russia and Putin.



It’s really insane that they keep talking about “liberals and Democrats” on this board meanwhile our president is operating under foreign influence.

I honestly don't have a position in the Syrian conflict and whether to keep our troops there. Traditionally I am of the mindset that mixing soldiers with civilians is a recipe for disaster and actually fosters fear & hate, which leads to terrorism. But soldiers are also necessary to hunt down terrorists in this troubled region - Syrian government is so corrupt that they are not capable of policing their own borders. Both arguments has pros/cons, but I do completely agree with you that this goes right down the Putin lane. Trump has time and time again done things that help Russia. I don't know if one of Trump's advisers is in clandestine touch with someone in Putin's ears or whether this is completely coincidental (what are the chances if we keep seeing this sort of behavior from Trump?), but this is worrisome.

Russia has couple air bases and troop presence already in Syria. With America getting pulled out, Russia can expand out their troops.. I won't be surprised if they send 5,000 more troops there.. This is exactly what Russia was hoping for, and they got it..

100% false. The kurds have spent more time trying to fight the SAA than ISIL. Syria was secured from the Israel and US backed terrorists by the SAA and the Russian airforce.

Correct. Just look at how they escorted the Isis fighters out of Raqqa so they could harass the SAA in the future. Also gave US/Israel an excuse to prolong this conflict.


Why do you neocons (thats what you are now Don) have such a hard on for useless fgt kurds? Is it because you are all trotskyites?

Propaganda mostly. Israel and the Pentagon have had a "Kurdistan" project in mind for decades. A puppet state that would be carved out of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. The Kurdish proxies would be the footsoldiers with Israel and US pulling the strings. It would provide a meat shield for Israel while also debilitating all of Israel's regional rivals by absorbing their natural resources. The first phase was the Iraq war. Second phase was Syria. They tried desperately to beat the war drums on Iran but couldn't get enough public support. They tried to stage a coup in Turkey two years ago but Putin intercepted the transmissions and warned Erdogan, thereby saving his ass.

It's no coincidence that Israel is the most concerned with this recent development:

Netanyahu has lobbied Trump very hard in the past not to pull out U.S. troops. Israel has been fighting for the last two years against Iranian entrenchment in Syria. It's most concerned about the U.S. pulling its forces from al-Tanf base, which blocks Iran from forming a land corridor from via Iraq and Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon, and to the Mediterranean.

I honestly don't have a position in the Syrian conflict and whether to keep our troops there. Traditionally I am of the mindset that mixing soldiers with civilians is a recipe for disaster and actually fosters fear & hate, which leads to terrorism. But soldiers are also necessary to hunt down terrorists in this troubled region - Syrian government is so corrupt that they are not capable of policing their own borders. Both arguments has pros/cons, but I do completely agree with you that this goes right down the Putin lane. Trump has time and time again done things that help Russia. I don't know if one of Trump's advisers is in clandestine touch with someone in Putin's ears or whether this is completely coincidental (what are the chances if we keep seeing this sort of behavior from Trump?), but this is worrisome.

Russia has couple air bases and troop presence already in Syria. With America getting pulled out, Russia can expand out their troops.. I won't be surprised if they send 5,000 more troops there.. This is exactly what Russia was hoping for, and they got it..

Lets face it, murica did their best to destroy the only secular arab state and install their puppet wahabbi rehime, buy you lost :banana:

Perfect example of a whole generation of generals and serviceman in the U.S whose views are largely guided by the caretaking and expansion of the empire or in double-speak, U.S led international order.

Fear not the fact that the country is 20+ trillions in debt and rising and that there is absolutely no sign of ever getting that debt under control. Ride the good ride until collapse motto for these fvcks. Dreaming somehow that China and Russia can be contained both at once.... delusion of grandiosity beyond the pale.

Meanwhile China has already surpassed the U.S economy PP wise, is in the process of morphing to a consumer base economy while having an industrial and manufacturing base that dwarfs ours...

Russia's economy has survived and will not fall to the little games being played either. No matter how much propaganda is spewed out and about the Russian economy being in taters. Another delusion.

These dinosaurs are making a hissy fit to try to box Trump once again into doing something he does not believe in, campaigned on or was voted for. Their superior wisdom is the debasing and future bankruptcy of the country by overstretch - like all empires before.

President Putin said that Moscow is interested in discussing the problem of North Korea, the situation in Afghanistan as well as bilateral relations with Washington, expressing hope they will improve in the future.

He went on to note that he does not know whether Trump will be able start a direct dialogue with Russia under current conditions.

"We see what is happening there [in the US]. Now the leadership in the Congress will change. We can forecast with nearly 100-percent accuracy that there will be new attacks on the incumbent president. I do not know whether he will be able to start a direct dialogue with Russia in these conditions. You should ask them", Putin said.

makes sense. he knows this is the last week the gop controls all of congress. it's litrally now or never to get shit done unencumbered.

Ok. My concern is that seemingly none of the military leaders, Senators or our allies were consulted or received prior warning. From all appearances, he made this decision without input from anyone of merit.
Advice differs depending on the goal. If the goal is to eventually overthrow the Syrian government, pulling the troops out is obviously the wrong move.

What exactly is the goal in Syria? :confusedshrug:

I don’t have strong opinions one way or the other on whether there should be troops in Syria. I’m willing to hear the argument for keeping them there, but somebody who thinks pulling them out is a disaster at some point is going to have to give an explanation of WHY there should be troops in Syria.

What is the thing that needs to be achieved in Syria and how does pulling these 2,000 troops out damage that goal?

Exactly. The #1 thing Americans abroad get shit for is for having troops everywhere and getting involved everywhere. And then making a mess of it.

The problem is, nobody ever explains WHY they want to have troops in Syria. Maybe there’s a really good reason. I don’t know. But my suspicion is that they never tell us because they have no reason or that THIER reason for wanting troops there is something they know won’t have much support. Like regime change or low-key supporting jihadi groups.

Sounds like the concerns are three-fold. Don't bother to argue with me as to whether these concerns are legitimate or specious. I'm simply conveying the concerns that elected, military and intelligence officials have expressed. I don't necessarily share these views.

1. There's concern that we could have a repeat of Iraq, where, after we withdrew under Obama in keeping with the agreement signed under Bush, ISIS rose in the region. Obama received heavy critcism, especially from Trump, for withdrawing from Iraq.

2. There's concern that Turkey will begin killing off our Kurdish allies in the region who have helped us fight ISIS and to whom we made promises of continued partnership. Turkey has pretty much promised that when we pull out, they'll give it a day and start slaughtering the Kurds.

3. There's concern that we are leaving the region to Russian and Iranain powers to slice, dice and manipulate as they see fit.

I instinctively agree with this.

But international affairs aren't simple. As much as I wish we weren't in every continent risking our service members for rich white men there are legit reasons why we're there.

It's too complex and multi-layered to explain and I doubt anyone here is an expert to fully break down. But sadly/angrily we're there and our presence is sadly now essential for a number of reasons. Most of those is to create stability and act as a guard dog.

Yeah... it sucks, sucks hard, but those a$$holes made all of this happen. American meddling has created some of the world's instability mostly by design. And now as a result we must have to deal with this monster we created or we're double f(*cked.

As a die hard anti war anti Military expansion anti corporate sponsored war machine we have to accept and deal with it.

Them pieces of sh*t purposely put us in this position and we're f(cked as a result.

If we leave, it creates possible turmoil and instability in areas of the world which affect us. Yeah, a lot of it has to do with oil and making old rich white men richer, but innocents will die as a result. Why do we care about innocents that aren't American? because it will lead to other issues that will affect us directly.

It will affect our economic interests abroad, it will affect our allies, it will affect our safety abroad and at home, it will affect our intelligence services, plus much more.

Pulling out leaves us and the world vulnerable.

Pulling out gives Russia and other countries the green light to attack, build bases and take over regions which will hurt us in the future. They become a threat and will impose their strength militarily.

We are leaving because Putin wanted us to leave, plain and simple. And he wanted us to leave so he could advance his dominance which aint good for us or for most of the world.

So essentially we're f*cked.

Can't necessarily agree. We need troops there just incase and while they are there they are not in the same danger. They are getting life experience on the military dime. I think a lot of people care about money but money is bs. Lives however...

Isis prol won't rise again (in the same places) cuz we ****ed them hard but someone will. We always need some terrorist group to fight.

Edit : I'm all for keeping troops around this shit show but we should not be in the midst of it if we don't have to. I was a big fan of the missile strike we did. People act up slap them with some missiles and say come see is at the border.

That ship has sailed. The United States absolutely is not going to remove Russia from Syria by force and having 2,000 soldiers there isn’t going to make Russia suddenly decide to leave. Russia is in Syria. That’s a done deal at this point.

[QUOTE]Russia Says Agreements Were Discussed With Trump On Syria. The U.S. Is Silent

Russian officials are saying the meeting in Helsinki between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin resulted in an agreement that includes cooperation between the two countries in Syria.

Speaking at a news conference next to Trump on Monday, Putin said establishing peace and reconciliation "could be the first showcase example of the successful joint work. Russia and the United States apparently can proactively take leadership on this issue," including overcoming the humanitarian crisis and helping Syrians go back to their homes.

Russia's ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, told reporters on Wednesday Putin spoke with Trump about "specific and interesting proposals," on how the two countries could work together in Syria.

No official joint communiqu
