Amazingly, he tweeted:
“Very smart not to be involved in the intense fighting along the Turkish Border, for a change. Those that mistakenly got us into the Middle East Wars are still pushing to fight. They have no idea what a bad decision they have made. Why are they not asking for a Declaration of War?”
That is an astounding statement from anyone in power, much less a sitting President. The troop withdrawal from Syria amounts to just 1,000 troops, but the language Trump uses to defend the decision is important. There is no pretty way to end a war, or the case of the United States, a series of occupations where US soldiers are performing police duties on the other side of the planet. The only way to withdraw is to mirror the way the war began, as Ron Paul said: “Just come home. We just went in, and we can just come home.”
