jackk, Trump solved a lot of problems in Syria and then retreated to a defensible position. Kurds are still there, and we are still working with them. yesterday’s headline: Aided by U.S. troops, Syrian Kurdish forces tighten siege after ISIS prison break.
There was not much possible to do there – by the time Trump came in, Russians were already bombing everyone on behalf of Syrian government. US kicked ISIS and defended their positions where Russian “contractors” tried to overtake US position. Not by economic sanctions, but by obliterating the attackers. 99% of humanitarian disaster was due to Syrian/Russian attacks that caused millions of refugees going to Jordan and Turkey (not completely an enemy like Syria) and then Europe.
