      There's no #ISIS presence there. However, #Syria's southwest is where #Russia's ally Assad is trying to consolidate his control. 5/x

      That's not illegal--#POTUS can disclose at will--but it was part of trolling the Washington Post. Not exactly presidential. #Syria 8/x

      Trump announced he stopped supporting the anti-Assad rebels. That's not necessarily a bad thing on its own. #Syria 9/x

          Foreign assistance to various #Syrian groups has fueled the conflict. With #Russia's help, #Assad has mostly defeated them. 10/x

          But a major pro-#Assad force in southwest #Syria has been #Hezbollah. Trump just helped their position on #Israel's border. 11/x

          Did he get Putin to agree to America's longer-term vision for #Syria? No. (Does Trump even have a longer-term vision for Syria?) 13/x
