3/ Now, presence of thousands of U.S. troops is dragging us more directly into the many conflicts playing out in Syria: SDF v. ISIS Israel v. Iran rebels v. Asad/Iran/Russia Turkey v. Kurds

4/ U.S. failure to understand local political and tribal dynamics dooms any military mission – just like Iraq (and Syria is much more complicated than Iraq)

5/ The continued military conflict in Syria is inevitable and it will be years until it ends. But it will last twice as long if U.S. gets more directly involved in the combat. Our presence will raise stakes for others.

6/ This doesn’t mean disengagement. Tillerson should change his schedule and go to Israel on Middle East trip. Make clear we will support Israel’s ability to defend its borders, increase funding for Israel’s protection.

7/ U.S. must end our absence from peace talks – stop outsourcing diplomacy to Turkey and Russia.

8/ And time to realize our leverage in diplomacy is not our military presence in Syria. Hasn’t worked so far bc all sides know we have less at stake militarily than other parties.

9/ Better leverage is a prospective Marshall Plan for Syria – spend billions on reconstruction rather than on a military escalation that’s doomed to fail & kill lots of Americans.

10/ Finally, double humanitarian aid. Still huge need to relieve suffering in and around Syria. Increase in refugee support to Jordan/Lebanon/Iraq ensures conflict is contained.

I don't want to spend billions overseas. I want to rebuild OUR country, pass single payer healthcare, fund schools, and teacher salaries. I don't want to send anyone’s mom or dad to fight halfway around the world for nation-building. You want to spend billions - help

Fixing the water in Flint, repairing bridges and roads, and paying teachers a wage that supports them is wasting money?? I don't want to spend it overseas. I want to fix things that are broken at home.
