so hurricane trump said we're leaving syria, but, wait, there's more;
On the first of April last year I published an article titled “Ignore The Words Of US Presidents. Watch Their Actions Instead.”,
about Trump’s claim that his administration would be pulling troops out
of Syria “very soon”. Watching the actions and ignoring the words is a
personal policy I’ve found very useful in dealing with top government
figures who understand that power has nothing to do with truth and
everything to do with narrative control, and in that particular case the
president’s claims were quickly memory holed after a highly suspicious chemical
weapons allegation in Douma a few days later. The president’s words
said the troops were leaving, and what actually happened was the US bombing the Syrian government for a second time in a year while troops remained where they were.
Everyone completely lost their shit last
month when the president once again made the claim that US troops will
be brought home from Syria. Establishment loyalists of the
political/media class went into full meltdown,
Mattis handed in his resignation, and #Resistance Twitter pundits who’d
never typed the word “Kurd” in their lives suddenly became
self-appointed experts on the geopolitical dynamics between the Turkish
government and the YPG. Support for the president’s words also rushed in
from anti-interventionists and anti-imperialists everywhere, as well as
from a few surprising places like Democratic Representative Ted Liu and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren..........https://russia-insider.com/en/reasons-believe-trumps-syria-withdrawal-are-vanishing/ri25807
