      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.

          They had to do that because of the abruptness of the withdrawal as a *result* of Trump.

          "the entire project was clearly fatally flawed if it ended this way." The project was fatally flawed for many reasons. "Ending this way" is likely one of the least-bad of many possible very-bad outcomes.

          This is clearly not true. Trump could have easily been more forceful with the Turks, demanding, at the very least, a 30-day window for evacuation of US forces.

          Trump is clearly not adequately informed about the situation in Syria.

          The mission was to kill ISIS and it was successful. It was not to act as a permanent meat shield for the Kurds.
