The U.S.-led coalition and its Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) allies have reduced the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) caliphate to a small collection of tents in a tiny village under President Donald Trump’s watch, several news outlets acknowledged this week.
President Trump’s surprise announcement on Wednesday that the 2,000 US troops deployed largely in north-eastern Syria would begin withdrawing immediately was a gift to Turkey, Iran, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and also a dangerous rejuvenation of ISIS.
In a statement received by Fox News, Mike Pence’s office declared that both the Trump administration and the vice president himself “will not tolerate bureaucratic delays in implementing the administration’s vision to deliver the assistance we promised to the people we pledged to help.” (Reuters )
Vice-President Pence is steadily making progress to fully support the Iraqi Christians. Last week, John Bolton replaced Gen. H.R. McMaster as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor. Bolton’s firm stance presents a departure away from the establishment and shifts gigantic support for an independent Kurdistan.
The announcement Thursday night that former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton would replace Gen. H.R. McMaster as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor confirms the arrival of a new, distinctive voice in the Trump administration.
On no issue will Bolton’s firm stance present a bigger departure from establishment dogma than his support for an independent Kurdistan.
