…yup, he goes with Putin. Trump unilaterally declares victory and abruptly decides to remove troops from Syria. As far as I can tell, his own security establishment condemns the action and has been voicing objections for the last week as rumors of this decision began to leak. What is the reaction of the Secretary of Defense? He resigns! In a thinly veiled protest, he slams the President’s abandonment of allies in the fight against ISIS. And what was Putin’s response to the removal of US troops? “On this, Donald is right. I agree with him,” Putin said.
Think about this. The President of the United States of America is making decisions on the war on terror which are aligned with Russian President Vladimir Putin and in direct opposition to the views of his Secretary of Defense, a decorated four star Marine general with over 40 years of service. Really? Really!
