the problem with that is.... Now Russia has taken over the bases that the United States left behind. Its like you're thinking once you leave there the common folk will rise up and take over there land and all will be well again. Russian troops have now basically swapped places with the Americans. This makes sense how exactly?
They would be stopping Russia from occupying Northern Syria, they would stop Erdoğan from committing genocide, they would continue to keep the isis prisoners in the jail, stopping a war from happening and general destabilisation in the middle East. This is why they were there. It was only 1000 troops. The USA have more troops doing drills in South Korea.
Vladimir Putin is an expansionist leader and is looking to expand Russia and become an empire once again. Its his biggest goal. Now the USA has basically given him a foothold in the middle East to expand something they haven't had since the 60s before the soviet collapse.
You may think you live in a world where once the USA brings all the troops home all will be well with the world but that's simply not the case.
Edit : this doesn't even include how great this is for Iran and how this affects Israel.
Russia is in Syria because they have been invited by their government to assist in the civil war, of course Russia will benefit in having an ally in Syria but ultimately they are fighting on behalf of the Syrian government so they can reclaim their land. So no, Russia are not occupying Syria. .
The US never had bases in Syria before the civil war, why do they need them now? What's so bad about Syria reclaiming control of their country? Like i said above, Obama had a chance for regime change but decided against it, so why complain now?
As for foreign ISIS prisoners, why is Trump wrong in saying their origin countries should take them back and prosecute them?
So your idea is for the US to occupy NE Syria without any plan to exit.
stopping a war from happening and general destabilisation in the middle East.
This is hilarious, the US being a stabilising force in the ME
