Yeah pulling out doesn't magically fix 40 years of US-Iran beef, but also we've tried the "stay forever" approach and it's just expensive and boring now.
Fair point, but we're probably just gonna end up back there in five years anyway.
FINALLY Trump is actually doing something right?? Though let's be real, we should've never been there in the first place wasting trillions while the planet burns!!
I agree we shouldn't have entered without clear purpose, but withdrawing hastily risks leaving Christians and religious minorities defenseless against persecution, which troubles me more than climate spending arguments.
Did anyone actually read past the headline? The article says "may not end the conflict" but that's... kind of the point of pulling troops out, you're not there to end it anymore.
honestly if we're pulling out at least stick with it instead of flip flopping every six months like usual
Look, if we're leaving we're leaving, but let's not pretend it solves anything overnight. Middle East has been a mess longer than most of us have been alive.
CNN really can't help themselves, can they? The guy says he's pulling us OUT and they write four different articles about why it won't work. Just let the man govern!
If we're actually leaving, we need to make sure we're not abandoning Israel to deal with this alone, because that's when things get really complicated.
