quote [ Officials said Trump made the decision to scrap the CIA program nearly a month ago, after an Oval Office meeting with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and national security adviser H.R. McMaster ahead of a July 7 meeting in Germany with Russian President Vladimir Putin. ]
This guy is still an asshole, but this is a good decision which I fully support and think is long, long overdue.
The anit-Assad boondoggle was equal part neo-con wet dream of "creative destruction" in the middle east, and gift to our Israeli "allies"(they will fight to the last American). We took a fully functioning, multi-confessional modern nation state and turned it into a deadly shit-hole for no real reason except that it was deemed that we could do so without consequence.
Well, the consequences for the US have not really been that stiff. Our European friends may have a different assessment. You're welcome. Thank god this happened.

But this is a direct aid to Assad, the person you say is even worse than anarchy. Small expense, no risk to US person, but a risk to Assad...And this in the midst of a civil war that will not end no mater what we do. And undercuts people we sought out and lowers US credibility if we had any and lowers our ability to effect events in the region....

Oh and I almost forgot the most important reason for us doing it. Is safer for those Russian troops as well.
