    For some strange reason presidential "unilateralism" only becomes a major concern for the big Foreign Policy Establishment chieftains when it involves *withdrawing* troops, rather than *deploying" themhttps://twitter.com/RichardHaass/status/1078882518584061952 …

    There is a legitimate view (one i disagree with, but legit all the same) that US right to exit Syria. What is not legitimate is to do so unilaterally (w/o consultation), unconditionally (w/o assurances from others re their behavior) and by twitter (w/o serious public explanation)

        When Obama deployed troops to Syria in 2014, it was done unilaterally. There were few complaints. It was just accepted as the "norm" -- maybe slightly regrettable but nothing to get too outraged about. Withdrawing troops unilaterally, for Haass, is the far graver "norm violation"

        Well of course! Withdrawing troops costs 'defense' contractors profits! Can't have our foreign policy based on principles and international law, then we wouldn't be wasting billions on a bloated military, and the gear these companies produce.

        Yes, seems that when increase troops or deploy troops to Syria, there is no debate either.

        MSM is in lockstep with CFR because reporters and their bosses are members as well. CFR Fareed Zakaria will have his Sunday roundtable in a few hours; his audience will be unaware that the reason they all agree is that the entire panel and all the guests are from the same club.

        Americans tax payers, without HealthCare, have invest trillions in destructive foreign military interventions, for years. It's an injustice, that Democrats&Republicans are in need to admit, can be corrected. PresidentTrump is right: America must STOP being the world's police.
