It is reported that the US state dept. personnel are being evacuated from Syria in the next 24 hours by Reuters
Through the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, correct?
If the withdrawal is a gift to Putin, what was the insertion of thousands of US ground troops?Last weekend, Trump reached an agreement with President Erdogan to sell the Turks 3.5 billion dollars worth of patriot missile defense and that may have played a role in this abrupt decision to withdrawn U.S. troops from Syria. The withdrawal of U.S. troops may also be a gift by Trump to Putin. This is crucial for Vladimir Putin. He needed a stronghold in that part of the world, he ran out of places and Syria was his last best hope and the U.S. was the last best option to stop him. Syria signed agreements to give the Russians an air base and a naval base.
Cause it wasn't a problem for Obama and previous Presidents remembering this President hasn't been in office for even 2 years.Trump seems to be giving a lot away for free and we all know Trump doesn't give away anything unless he gets something in return. The Trump administration and spokespeople like Sarah Sanders and Kellyanne Conway claim that ISIS is defeated in that area. They're only partially correct. There's no more than a two thousand in that area of Syria where the U.S. coalition has been focused but there's tens of thousands of ISIS fighters around Idlib, Syria and they will once again gain a stronghold once the U.S. moves out. This is going to be a big problem going forward for the U.S., Jordan and Israel for years to come.
He's bringing the troops home. He criticized Iraq, he's always said he'd pull out when the job is done, otherwise it 'seems' to amateurs(like you) to be an occupation.I ask, what is the U.S. and Trump getting for this? We seem to have abruptly walked away from the table before the table even started the bidding.

The Congress voted overwhelmingly in 1995 to move our embassy to Jerusalem, even at the time threatening State Department funds unless it was done. Each President since 1995 had delayed the effort despite it being supported by We the People. Clearly.
Humble Pi seems to know much on this topic, HP when did We the People first vote for our embassy to be in Jerusalem?

And why I oppose arguments when it's asserted that US policy and influence has such great sway. It doesn't. Russia, Turkey, Iran, and even Iraq have much more influence on events and outcomes in Syria. This forum discussed at length the influence of Turkey on ISIS, foreign influence from Saudi Arabia and Palestinian terror organizations, even al-Qaeda was caught up in the Syrian conflict.
