Only one action will be on this post..
Many more will follow.. if I find nothing more interesting to do on this sunny day..
ISIS:
Trump promised that he would eliminate ISIS within his first 100 days as president. Instead, he chose to unilaterally withdraw US forces from Syria, effectively handing the country over to Russia and the Assad regime. News of the US’ departure was immediately met with attacks by ISIS forces against a US base. Since the announcement, ISIS has rallied and regained some of its former strength, and even the death of al-Baghdadi has had little effect.
ISIS Reaps Gains of U.S. Pullout From Syria
Less than a month after US forces have left, Russian forces have moved in to occupy former US bases - which effectively illustrates how the US abandoning the country and its allies has benefited Russia. Turkey has also taken advantage, using the opportunity to move in and eliminate the Kurdish m*****as that were so intrinsic to fighting ISIS (and were a faithful US ally). This move will be especially good for ISIS since it eliminates one of their most feared rivals.

Trump announced that abandoning the Kurds was somehow justified because they “weren’t there during D-Day” - a reference to World War II that makes no sense whatsoever! To add insult to injury, he announced the some US forces would be redeploying in Syria to safeguard the oil fields because, he feels, the US is entitled to “keep the oil” as payment for its former presence.

Bottom line, this move has destroyed the US’ reputation among potential allies and demonstrated extreme weakness to the world. It is now clear that Ergodan has a similar hold over Trump, much like Kim and Putin do. When they tell him to do something, he does it.
