Pentagon blames Trump for resurgence of ISIS
"A scathing new Pentagon report blames Trump for the return of ISIS in Syria and Iraq"
"A report from the Pentagon inspector general found that President Donald Trump's decision to rapidly pull troops out of Syria and divert attention from diplomacy in Iraq has inadvertently aided the Islamic State's regrouping in Syria and Iraq."
"The Department of Defense's quarterly report to Congress on the effectiveness of the US Operation Inherent Resolve mission said that "ISIS continued its transition from a territory-holding force to an insurgency in Syria, and it intensified its insurgency in Iraq" — even though Trump said ISIS was defeated and the caliphate quashed"
"The Trump administration's decision to focus its attention on Iran reduced its capacity to effectively counter ISIS in Iraq and Syria"

Seems Trump's "America First" policy, whatever that hell that is besides a cliche for the gym rallies, is imploding all over the world. We've lost strong relationships with traditional allies, watched the Far East fragment, allowed China to extend spheres of influence worldwide, authoritarian leaders to pretty much do what they want unchecked, and as we've seen here, even managed to screw up apparent success
But as long as Trump keeps insulting and demonizing the people and ideas the Trumpkins are afraid of, it's a "greater America," regardless of the realities

Well...the Pentagon never wants to remove troops from anywhere.
Granted...trump's 'anti everyone but America' mentality has made it harder to find anyone interesting in aiding our troops.
But we simply cannot keep troops in the region forever.
Once you open Pandora's box, you cannot put the lid back on.
If not for trump, we'd still be referring to Bush as the most destructive POTUS in history.

Got to disagree with you on that one, President Bush's War was the most destructive, we're paying for the stupidity nowOriginally Posted by Althea
But in the end, Trump might be right up there with him if events continue as currently unfolding

Obama was the reason for ISIS. What short memories the left has.
Althea told me...........
As far as damage goes, we might never have another that matches Bush.
Of course, trump still has almost two years to top Bush, and he's done quite a bit of damage that doesn't make the news.
We're going to see incompetence of epic proportions between Nov. '20 and Jan '21. He's going to tear the entire country to shreds out of spite.

Obama pulled out of Iraq, ISIS moves in. Trump pulls [some] troops out of Afghanistan, ISIS moves in.
Rinse, repeat.

A lot more than you. And of course as always, when proven wrong, you just start repeating yourself. Hoping it will change. It never does.

What’s to know? They’re radical Islamic head choppers and they want to set up a caliphate.
If you think it matters who happens to be president when troops are removed from the region—you know very little about ISIS.

By refusing to study your history, you remain unqualified for this discussion. 'What's to know?' indeed.
You and Sailor can have a grand old time trading grossly misinformed quotes.
