    Breaking news: Pulling troops out of Syria (where they are illegally stationed) is obviously horrendous. They must stay forever, or else the terrorists have won

        I see your point but people like both Chomsky and Mike Gravel see this as an abandonment and potential death sentence for the Kurds. This is one of those cases that demands more nuance, I think.

        No one can argue Trump didn't say he was going to do this before and after being elected. I worry about the consequences but it had to happen sooner or later

        Pulling out US troops does not lead to less, but more war in the region when Turkey invades. But I guess war is only bad when the US is involved, otherwise it is "people taking care of their own business"?

        Underscores politics. Going, staying, or leaving somewhere is good or correct if "my President" does it.

        You have to understand that we are pulling out for a reason, right? We aren't pulling out of any of the other places we are involved in, so it's not about anti-imperialism. We are not preventing any imperialism by moving our people so that Turkey can do their own imperialism.

        Turkey is a NATO ally. Being in Syria with them invading would not only put us in the crossfire with Turkey, it'd put us in the crossfire with everyone else. US can't fight from the side of the border Syria just opened.

        We're pulling 100-150 troops out. The Pentagon's big worry is that ISIS will return. "The White House statement bears no relation to facts on the ground. If implemented, it will significantly increase risk to our personnel, as well as hasten ISIS’s resurgence.”

        Brain genius and intellectual maverick Michael Tracey advances a new, highly nuanced position of a fraught political topic: "There are only two options: either pull out all troops from the area now via presidential tweet, or stay there for all eternity."
