Because you already was indoctrinated to the Holy Truth - "never ever doubt the Pillars of Holy Democracy; it is heresy to think outside of Approved List of Completely Free Thoughts of Holy Democracy" - you could not even explain WHY Assad need to do it?

Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.

Please provide citations that the UN does what USA wants.

Gcomeau, The Ostrich Fuhrer aka TheE, and Joat42 please tell the world how many troops from your Country that you are pledging to police Syria for 10 years. Gcomeau are you volunteering to be a part of the 1st patrol. I did not think so...your rhetoric does not match your physical courage and prowness. What...you won't pledge any troops for 10 years or lead the 1st patrol. My My what a shining example of bravery you display. This is another display of keyboard warriors courage at work. They will talk the talk but not walk the walk.

Fact is, it was the USA that willingly placed troops in Syria when the USA allied themselves with the Kurds. After Erdogan's little chat with Trump, Trump unceremoniously backstabbed the Kurds and withdrew the troops.

Oh, and for the region in question it was the Kurds that policed it, which means that due to Trumps actions that is no longer the case. Trumps reprehensible actions where directly responsible for the current destabilization in Syria and the killing of Kurds (and US troops).

ANY smart leader would have evaluated the consequences of withdrawing US troops from Syria and planned to mitigate those consequences.

That you feel that others should clean up the current mess Trump created is kind of telling of your inability to grasp the realities around Trumps actions. How about you ask some troops that where in Syria how they feel about Trumps actions before attacking people voicing the same concerns.

As soon as you show me where the leader of any of those countries had the Kurds fight ISIS for them, lose 11,000 men doing it, had them dismantle their fortifications defending themselves from the Turks based on our PROMISE they would be kept safe from Turkish attack, then stabbed them in the back and fed their families to an ethnic cleansing campaign as soon as that leader decided they didn't need them to fight ISIS anymore while they shipped troops off to where there was more money in it for them.

I'll wait.

The troops in Syria were sent to fight in Iraq and Trump has been increasing the US troop presence in Saudi Arabia.

Actually turns out Trump forgot to check if those troops were welcome in Iraq, and of course the Pentagon didn't have time to because Trump forgot to tell THEM what he was about to order as well... and Iraq just told them to GTFO.

Another day in the genius that is Trump's "strategy".

More troops to bring home and that's music to my ears. I want to bring the troops home from Afghan and Iraq. After that is complete, America can reevaluate our role in NATO. I want all American assets out of Germany.

Just a reminder of what some people here are "fine with".

I seem to recall that this country has attempted the isolationist line SMR is such a fan of. What did it come to? Oh, yeah, Pearl Harbor, that's what.

Its been done before and failed before what gives you the idea that it'll work any better this time?

I will agree that the US does seem to carry the bulk of the burden of NATO's commitments but that's another story than your isolationist crap. That's a fool's bargain and will cost us far more than you can imagine.
