Bringing home troops from Syria and Afghanistan will save big bucks. More money for other projects, infrastructure things like roads, bridges, walls etc...

It will cost several billion to pull them out and take at least 2 years.
Nice try on the wall.

And ditching our allies in the middle of the battlefield to be slaughtered by the Turks, Russians, Iranians and Syrians creating a giant vacuum of leadership and power inevitably filled by a resurgent ISIS will have no negative repercussions at all.

We should never have been there in the first place.

You redirected so many times that you lost track of what I said in the first place.

I think we should leave Afghanistan yesterday. I think we should stay in Syria, if for no other reason than to aid and protect the Kurds.

Great gift to Putin. Everything he does, including lifting aluminum sanctions for a kickback on building a chainlink fence wall, revolves on Putin.

Afghanistan is a NATO mission.
I agree with leaving the Kurds hanging out for the Turks to kill them is horrible policy.

I have no idea how we should proceed.
Afghanistan, if we leave, Taliban will be in control within a year or there will be perpetual civil war. What does that mean for Pakistan? Probably more instability.
Syria, we owe the Kurds a lot. We refuse to back them against Turkey. They are the most fuckedover group in the world and we seem to abandon them at every turn.
This is not a good day.

Of course everything revolves around Putin. Who do you think is giving orders to the Cheeto Puppet? The White House is currently one of Putin’s largest wholly-owned subsidiaries

Possibly by default. It was supposed to go to Manafort.
However, once Trump snuffs out the economy in a few months...he is a shoe-in.
