Trump pulls out of Syria

I despise them both, but had Clinton (or pretty much any Democrat/Republican) been POTUS, this would probably not be happening - she campaigned on a promise of expanding the war in Syria, thus risking conflict with Russia and possible WW3. Trump campaigned on a promise of pulling out of the wars.

Whatever his motives might be, he is, partially, fulfilling a campaign promise.

Idiot conspiracy theorists (aka entire MSM/neoliberal establishment) will say he is doing it to please Putin. Even if that were true, who cares? US/NATO wars have killed over four million Muslims in the last three decades. Any retreat should be welcomed! But in their anti-Trump derangement, ‘liberals’ are now hardcore supporters of US imperialism.

(UPDATE: Whatever he may be doing re Syria, Trump is actually a pro-war imperialist asshole.
