    Can we clarify something. US forces in Syria had to burn down their own bases and retreat, only for those bases to be swiftly seized by rival powers. That's a humiliating battlefield defeat and you'd think it would get portrayed as such; instead the media just screams about Trump

        This means the mission failed. If you have to extricate troops in such a hasty, humiliating fashion, your mission was flawed from the outset. Easy to blame it exclusively on Trump but the entire project was clearly fatally flawed if it ended this way.

        Um, but the US forces had to do this because Trump forced an incredibly stupid and ill-timed retreat. Thus, "the media" and everyone other sentient person correctly blames this a absolute fiasco on Trump.

        There's no heroic way to end a war. We learned that in Vietnam as leader after leader promised to end the war, but the yellow-baiting kept pushing leaders to send in more troops: to bomb more villages, till sanity prevailed.pic.twitter.com/bJrMCZJmj2

        No matter what when we left we would have destroyed the bases. Why is that humiliating? Sounds smart, takes away at least one advantage from the turkish. You'd rather they dismantle it over years or something? Anytime we ever leave a country in the ME its going to be rough.

        People are going to try things they wouldnt have otherwise. But Kurds are aligning with Syria, Syria is ratifying their constitution to include them if the agreement holds up. We didn't sign on to fight our NATO ally Turkey for the kurds, so alternative was another US war.

        I think it was indeed portrayed as such. Who do you think is responsible for such a hasty retreat?

        Bro - there aren't any "military" actions or "battlefields" These are dramas with live soldiers only playing the parts. The entire premise of "confusing MidEast" unravels with the slightest scrutiny to reveal that. Everybody is dropping concrete from B52s @velocirapture23

        'humiliating' Fighting in Syria isn't in US interests. Committing US resources to a conflict we get nothing out of makes the US look stupid and puts people in unecessary danger. Stupid policy is what's 'humiliating'. Leaving garbage behind for others to pick through? isn't.
