Republicans and Democrats are slamming the president’s abrupt U.S. pullback in Syria. But the president is betting that voters won’t care.
But Donald Trump is going beyond wishing, on the apparent belief that voters will reward him for hisIt’s a risky stance that could come back to haunt him in the November 2020 election. Yet even as he faces mounting bipartisan criticism over his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northeast Syria, the president is projecting nonchalance.“Others may want to come in and fight for one side or the other.
It’s not clear whether Turkey, a NATO ally, will accede to Trump’s demands. But, in a statement announcing his approval of sanctions, the president nonetheless held firm to his decision to withdraw roughly 1,000 U.S. troops from Syria’s northeast, throwing U.S. commitments in doubt. His predecessors, even when reluctant, bowed to necessity, obligation or a grandiose sense of destiny in staying engaged in the Middle East – the region is, after all, a major source of the oil that lubricates the global economy as well as the terrorists that have attacked America.
Trump’s decision to leave northeast Syria is sure to come up in a Democratic primary debate on Tuesday. In the vast Democratic field, though, Trump’s calls to stop “endless wars” have found some resonance, including from candidates such as Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. And there’s little appetite among Democratic voters for fresh wars in the Middle East.
“We are not going into another war between people who have been fighting with each other for 200 years,” Trump tweeted Monday. “Europe had a chance to get their ISIS prisoners, but didn’t want the cost. ‘Let the USA pay,’ they said.” Bill Clinton pushed hard for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. He failed on that front; he also failed to capture or kill bin Laden.
