Trump Wants The U.S. To Stay Out Of Ground Fighting In Syria

Essentially, the Syrian government of Bashar Assad is about to fall, and, heck, since I’m setting this post up Saturday evening, it may have fallen. And, it would pretty much be replaced by a bunch of Islamic extremists. Is this better or worse than Iranian and Russian backed Assad? Time will tell

Trump says US should stay out of fighting in Syria as opposition forces gain ground

President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. military should stay out of the escalating conflict in Syria as a shock opposition offensive closes in on the capital, declaring in a social media post, “THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT.”

With world leaders watching the rapid rebel advance against Syria’s Russian- and Iranian-backed president, Bashar Assad, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser separately stressed that the Biden administration had no intention of intervening.

“The United States is not going to … militarily dive into the middle of a Syrian civil war,” Jake Sullivan told an audience in California.

He said the U.S. would keep acting as necessary to keep the Islamic State — a violently anti-Western extremist group not known to be involved in the offensive but with sleeper cells in Syria’s deserts — from exploiting openings presented by the fighting.

There are many other Islamic groups involved, not just IS (which rose to prominence from the “JV team” while Biden was Obama’s VP.

Trump’s comments on the dramatic rebel push were his first since Syrian rebels launched their advance late last month. They came while he was in Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral.

In his post, Trump said Assad did not deserve U.S. support to stay in power.

Why would we support any of them? The only thing we should do is make sure that the war doesn’t spread out from Syria into our ally Israel.

Yet another war, this time in #Syria, in which neocon and warmonger @BillKristol wants us involved. Hasn’t he learned anything from all of the wars he’s pushed in the past?https://t.co/e7PyxboZ7v
