TRUMP PULLS BACK ON TROOP WITHDRAWALS AND DOES SO FOR ISRAEL

He should be tried for treason.

But what do his USMI handlers say? Is Trump under orders? Gone rogue?

And he's now threatening to invade Venezuela?!

Having drifted back and forth a few times on the US withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan, President Trump seemed solid on leaving last week, but facing growing opposition from the Senate now shows signs of backtracking once again.

...In Syria, Trump is now focused on the idea that the pullout can only happen after assuring that “Israel is protected,” which is as close to a recipe for permanent warfare as one can get. Israeli officials have made clear they want the war to be about Iran, not ISIS.

And that seems to be he case in Iraq, as well, where President Trump is now saying US troops will remain, seemingly forever, to “watch Iran,” and make sure they don’t “do nuclear weapons or other things.”
