Then get them out- Trump has said this previously and nothing happened. In fact during Trump’s first term he bombed Syria. As well as over seeing the assassination of the Iranian General.
The US should not be occupying Syria. The US should have never invaded Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS. The destabilization of Syria began on Obama, the peace president’s watch.
US President-elect Donald Trump intends to withdraw US troops from northern Syria to prevent involvement in conflicts between Turkish forces and Kurdish fighters, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed on Wednesday during a live broadcast with commentator Tucker Carlson.
According to Kennedy, who is expected to play a major role in the new administration, Trump expressed concern that these troops could become “cannon fodder” amid escalating tensions between Turkey and Kurdish groups in the region.
Get’em out!

Hi Penny:
I agree that the US should not be in Syria. It allows Syria’s oil to be stolen. The US supported the “Syrian rebels” to remove Assad. As I am sure you would know, Russian support for Assad ended that and helped Assad eliminate many of the “Syrian rebels” (largely ISIS). It’s nice to have Russia as a friend. Assad protects many different groups in Syria including Christians. I look forward to the day when Syrian again controls all of its territory.
“I look forward to the day when Syrian again controls all of its territory”
I do too!
And that includes the Golan Heights!
I hope RFK jr. isn’t jumping the gun with ‘unauthorized’ pronouncements on policy statements Trump made in private, in an effort to force Trump’s hand. That could sow discord. This just gives the pro Syrian war faction more time to plan and set in motion resistance to stop it a second time. There are 70 days left before he takes power.
On the other hand I enjoyed seeing Trump terminate the political careers of Pompeo and Haley, like a public execution with a short tweet before a leisurely lunch. It’s a happy day when we see two neo-con warmongering tools get their just desserts. It cleans up the candidate pool.
Lots can happen between the election and Trump taking office.
It’s like a grey area.. Sort of hazy. Where the unexpected can happen?
