        Eric Boehlert's interpretation of this Trump action, which he's advocated for years, seems extremely rational

        If it was say, Tulsi Gabbard, I'd say it's safe to ascribe humanitarian motive to this. Trump is no peacenik. This was a financial deal tho.

        No one ascribed "humanitarian" motives to Trump or claimed he was a peacenik. There are basic realpolitik reasons for doing this.

        Everybody hates Trump because he doesn't want to have an adversarial relationship (war) with Russia. Sheep led by Hills and neocons want war

        The #1 &#2 obj. in Syria are Kill Isis/create safe zones for Syrians to return. CIA getting out is a bow to the GCC & Jordan, not Russia.

        We just sold weapons to the Saudi coalition, remember. They will determine which rebels to back in their region. We will assist,when asked.

        Trump has always said he doesn't agree with arming "rebels" in Syria, interviews in 2015 an16 demonstrate this view.

        The mighty US backed rebels have been irrelevant for atleast 2 years. Syrian army - kurds - turkish backed forces + islamists run the show.

        Valid point but for consistency sake shouldn't we also pull back on the bombing campaign?

        It is good policy but it does fit in w/ Russia narrative. However it's not a clincher obviously. Take it in context w/ other decisions

        To be fair, something being rational makes it more likely that trump wouldn't do it
