Wait, what? NYT: LOSER45 thinking of leaving about 200 troops in eastern Syria now?

[Leghorn21]

U.S. commandos may stay to fight ISIS in Syria after
all -- Trump said to favor leaving about 200 troops in
eastern Syria to help combat ISIS and stymie the
Russians and Assad.

1. 200 troops? They can be neutralized pretty easily.

2. Wait a minute...

It was my understanding that there were anywhere from 28 to 50 U.S. troops total stationed there (number varies according to differing reports) that had been hastily removed from the area. But now 200 are staying? This sounds more like a buildup.

3. Sounds like a good way to get troops injured!

What an asshole!

[klook]

4. Oh, nice -- first get rid of our allies in the region,

then strand our troops there without their help.

Is this worse than shooting somebody on 5th Avenue?? Or still within the zone of Republican acceptability?

5. WTF

he is playing with these guys like he is four years old and they are little plastic green soldiers

8. To him that's all they are

little green soldiers on a diorama.

[blm]

9. Exactly. And by now they all KNOW it.

6. So this is about the worst option of all-

They could be over-run in minutes. They don't have the security of the Kurds with them, or an actual sizeable force of Americans.

Trump -- Oh, I can't even say it.

7. Russia giving back the base? Fvcking traitor tot.
