plis dont do it
unironically lynch this fucking roach already

also, what's with the flag, NewsAnon?

I'm pretty happy Trump announced that US troops could be pulled out of Syria "very soon". I was pretty unhappy to see 2000 troops there in the first place and the fact that almost no one seemed to be talking about it or caring about it outside of niche places online. Now we'll see if it actually happens, given others in the administration said stuff about there being no pull-out plans, Tillerson's plan for a "post-Assad Syria" and the over a dozen US military bases in Syria not knowing anything about this. It'd be good if it did though.

Just like US troops pulled out of Iraq right? It's not going to happen
Also

They'll make a new enemy anyway.

Trump announces a lot of things. Few of them actually happen.

Yeah I highly doubt that it's just 2000. Didn't the Pentagon originally claim it was only 500 before coming out and admitting there was four times that? I'll believe it when I see it.

/r9k/ users should take notes

RT is always filled with weird ass people in the comment section. It's nothing new.

the second one is hilarious though

Given Trump's track record, there's an even chance we'll actually INCREASE troops in Syria.

well if this aint a reason to shoot myself….

Shit's been fucked way before Facebook, and are people really surprised? We've been in a surveillance state for a few decades now if not at least half a century.

D'awww.

Red Velvet sucks.

I'm not expert on the situation of the ground, but before these remarks yesterday that was my guess, that Trump or another president would slowly increase the US presence in Syria until it was another Afghanistan / Iraq. Hell, it will probably still happen. Trump, for all he says, has no problems with Middle Eastern wars, as demonstrated by his keeping troops in Afghanistan, etc

In private, Trump has mused about Syria pullout for weeks

You should because our strategy hasn't evolved. Islamists know this and is why they're merely biding their time.

I am not supposed to be surprised right?

I think this is a crippling blow to the guys trying to divine if Trump is going to go to war.

The frighting truth is that Trump is so impulsive that we literally won't know about it until he does it. There won't be any real build up to it at all.
