Trump: ‘We have to protect Israel,’ shifting again on Syria withdrawal

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump indicated this weekend that some US troops in Syria would remain there “to protect Israel,” in an apparent shift from his earlier insistence on an absolute withdrawal.

In an interview with Margaret Brennan of CBS News, Trump was pressed to identify precisely how much of America’s force presence there would be coming home – and how quickly.

“We’re going to be there and we’re going to be staying. We have to protect Israel,” he replied. “We have to protect other things that we have. But we’re – yeah, they’ll be coming back in a matter of time.”

“Look, we’re protecting the world,” he added. “We’re spending more money than anybody’s ever spent in history, by a lot.”
Israeli officials expressed alarm in December at Trump’s surprise decision to pull all 2,000 US troops from the Syrian battlefield, where it sees Iranian presence growing ever closer to its northern border.

They have been pushing the Trump administration to maintain a presence at al-Tanf in eastern Syria, which has served as an important base both in countering Islamic State fighters as well as Iranian influence.

 
Trump also revealed that he planned on keeping troops in Iraq for similar reasons.

“I want to be able to watch Iran,” he said. “Iran is a real problem.”

He claimed to Brennan that “99%” of ISIS’s territory had been conquered.

“When I took over, Syria was infested with ISIS. It was all over the place. And now you have very little ISIS, and you have the caliphate almost knocked out,” he said. “We will be announcing in the not too distant future 100% of the caliphate, which is the area – the land – the area – 100. We’re at 99% right now. We’ll be at 100.”

I agree with you here, Croix.  Trump has shown signs from the very beginning (based on who he associates with) that he's a Jєωιѕн puppet.  Bolton was installed to be his foreign policy handler.  They probably have blackmail material of him on Epstein's island to help control him.

Alexander Acosta, the guy who got Epstein off the hook from going to jail, ended up becoming Trump's Secretary of Labor.

Too many people here blindly support the admitted pervert and Jєωιѕн agent Donald Trump.  If anyone believes that a person could be elected president in the U.S. without being under Jєωιѕн control, they're incredibly naive.

He's an admitted pervert? That's news to me. He's not gαy; even the "dirt" on Trump suggests he's fond of female company. I don't believe he's into satanic crap like the Bushes and Clintons (satanism, child sex/slavery, etc.)

Can satan cast out satan? By their fruits you shall know them. The Deep State hates Trump's living guts. There is true enmity between them. Not like Bush and Clinton who are actually the best of friends.

I'm sure Trump has nothing against the Jєωs (his background in business, living in New York, etc.), but that doesn't mean he isn't the chosen front-man for the conspiracy of good guys known as "Q" working to dismantle the Deep State.

One might counter that Trump
A) can only move so fast in tearing down what took decades to build up
B) is trying to keep an eye on certain members of the Deep State, along the lines of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

I'm not naive. 3 years ago, I never would have believed we'd be where we're at today. I had 0 faith in the 2-party system, which I thought was a distraction and a joke. I knew the Globalists had full control of most of the world, etc. And yes, I know they'd never let a solid Traditional Catholic become president. So I thought it was rather hopeless.

But Trump has convinced me. I originally voted against Hillary, but in 2020 I'll be voting FOR Trump. To be honest, I'd vote for him even if a Traditional Catholic candidate was running -- even if he was a major 3rd party candidate on the ballot! Because I know the latter would never get elected, he doesn't have the worldly connections to get things done, etc.

In other words, I don't consider Trump the lesser of two evils anymore, as I did in 2016.

You and I should notice something *different* in the political arena since 2016. You are old enough to remember the 90's and 00's. I've never seen the Media be this panicked about anyone. I've never seen such livid, panicked hatred of a single political figure. SOMETHING is up. Only the whole Q revolution with "The Plan" would explain it.

He's an admitted pervert? That's news to me. He's not gαy; even the "dirt" on Trump suggests he's fond of female company.

He's admitted to serial adultery against Ivana and never denied the alleged affairs during his current "marriage".  He's never denied paying the porn start Stormy Daniels for sex.  You seem to be limiting the term "pervert" to sins against nature, whereas I would call anyone a pervert who serially violates the 6th and 9th commandments.

Trump was good friends with the pervert Jeffrey Epstein, who trafficked in young girls.  Trump later joked about Epstein "liking them young".  And the prosecutor who got Epstein off the hook on credible charges of running a child sex ring was a guy named Alexander Acosta ... who later became Trump's Secretary of Labor.  Trump has surrounded himself all his life with a Who's-Who of Jєωry, including Epstein.  Trump flew on Epstein's jet ... which was famously used to transport clients to his brothel island.

Trump stinks to high heaven.

 I'm sorry, Matthew, but it's become clear that Trump is little more than yet another Israeli puppet.

Spot on!  I'm afraid Matthew has drunk the Trump cool-ade. Trump belongs to the Jєωιѕн establishment.

Trump is opposing such people, however, so we'll have to put up with his stinky past.

Is he though?  I think it's all some big show for the consumption of the masses, a keeping alive of the false Hegelian dialectic.  Behind the scenes, they're all playing for the same team.

Even putting his personal sins aside, the fact that he's under Jєωιѕн control should be obvious to everyone.

I'm well aware of the Hegelian dialectic.
But as I asked you before, have you failed to notice the sea-change that took place in the MSM since Trump was elected? They've all tore off their masks and gone into "stop him at all costs" full panic mode.
If he was just the right fist of the Deep State (Hillary Clinton being the left fist), this wouldn't be the case. It would be more of the same that I've seen since I was a kid. I've lived through many presidencies and been active in politics for some time.

For what it's worth, Trump seems to have left that past behind him. I'm not aware of any untoward behavior post-2016. It's like he agreed to clean up his act and step it up a notch upon accepting the job (President). Who can change his past?

Ah, so Trump has kept his nose clean for the last two years?  Good show, Donald! LOL.
