Pat Buchanan on Trump’s Decision to Pull-Out of Syria

Laura Ingraham has certainly gotten on board with the agenda.

She’s not Tucker or Queen Ann tier, but she’s really better than any of the remaining pundits.

She did a great interview with Pat Buchanan following Trump’s announcement of a pullout of Syria. They went over the fact that both liberal and “conservative” politicians and pundits are attacking Trump for this move, without giving any sort of real explanation as to why we were ever involved in these wars in the first place.

Pat Buchanan really invented what we now think of as Trumpism (which Trump is generally not doing a very good job of upholding).

He said that this move is going to ignite a national debate on the issue of America as the world police. It is certainly doing that. These people are all flipping the hell out. I never understood how much the Washington Post loved Mad Dog Mattis.

The liberals can of course explain their support for endless war in the Middle East as “it is good because Trump is against it,” but what can these Republicans say? What is their argument, after going on two decades of endless war in the Middle East which has resulted in absolutely nothing good that any single individual can point to?

Ingraham correctly pointed out, and Pat agreed, that the GOP will never be able to pull people back into Bush-style “spreading democracy.” What they didn’t mention is that the Democrat Party will happily take-up the banner of global interventionism. The media can, will and is completely flipping the script on these wars to make them an issue of progressivism.

/ourfoxylatincommunist/ isn’t falling for it, but the majority of the Democrat Party is on-board with it.

Hillary Clinton actually campaigned on a plan to shoot down Russian jets over Syria to protect “moderate” ISIS terrorists. The Democrats are obviously headed in a more radical communist direction, away from Clinton-style “moderate” neoliberalism, but if Democrats were to win in 2020, they could return the troops to the Middle East based simply on the fact that Trump pulled them out. They will just show a picture of a dead baby and say “Trump caused this by removing the troops” and they’ll go along with it. These people are so obsessed with their bizarre social-engineering program that they won’t even notice a gigantic war.

Pat also accurately stated – and it is shocking to hear this on mainstream conservative radio – that the real threat is all of these brown people invading our countries, and that pretending Russia protecting its maritime border is a threat to the US is lunacy.

He also published an essay on the topic, asking whether Trump is going to be able to actually do this.

Pat Buchanan Blog:

“We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there,” wrote President Donald Trump, as he ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Syria, stunning the U.S. foreign policy establishment.

Trump overruled his secretaries of state and defense, and jolted this city and capitals across NATO Europe and the Middle East.

Yet, Trump is doing exactly what he promised to do in his campaign. And what his decision seems to say is this:

We are extricating America from the forever war of the Middle East so foolishly begun by previous presidents. We are coming home. The rulers and peoples of this region are going to have to find their own way and fight their own wars. We are not so powerful that we can fight their wars while we also confront Iran and North Korea and face new Cold Wars with Russia and China.

As for the terrorists of ISIS, says Trump, they are defeated.

The U.S. pullout from Syria is being called a victory for Vladimir Putin. “Russia, Iran, Assad… are ecstatic!” wails Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Graham is echoed by Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse who called the withdrawal a “retreat” and charged that Trump’s generals “believe the high-fiving winners today are Iran, ISIS and Hezbollah.”

But ISIS is a Sunni terrorist organization. And, as such, it detests the Alawite regime of Bashar Assad, and Hezbollah and Iran, both of which are hated by ISIS as Shiite heretics.

I genuinely do not think most Republican warmongers can explain the difference between Sunni and Shiite.

Ben Sasse I guarantee cannot.

He really is the worst person ever.

“Russia, Iran, Syria… are not happy about the US leaving,” Trump tweeted, “despite what the Fake News says, because now they will have to fight ISIS and others, who they hate, without us.”

If Putin, victorious in the Syrian civil war, wishes to fight al-Qaida and ISIS, the last major enemies of Assad in Syria, why not let him?

National security adviser John Bolton, who said U.S. troops would remain in Syria until all Iranian forces and Iranian-backed militias have been expelled, appears not to have been speaking for his president.

And if the Israelis were relying on U.S. forces in Syria to intercept any Iranian weapons shipments headed to Hezbollah in Lebanon through Damascus, then the Israelis are going to have to make other arrangements.

The war party project, to bring about regime change in Tehran through either severe sanctions leading to insurrection or a U.S.-Iranian clash in the Gulf, will suffer a severe setback with the U.S. pullout from Syria.

However, given the strength of the opposition to a U.S. withdrawal — Israel, Saudi Arabia, the GOP foreign policy establishment in Congress and the think tanks, liberal interventionists in the Beltway press, Trump’s own national security team of advisers — the battle to overturn Trump’s decision has probably only just begun.

From FDR’s abandonment of 100 million East Europeans to Stalin at Yalta in 1945, to the abandonment of our Nationalist Chinese allies to Mao in 1949, and of our South Vietnamese allies in 1975, America has often been forced into retreats leading to the deaths of allies. Sasse says Trump is risking the same outcome: “A lot of American allies will be slaughtered if this retreat is implemented.”

But is that true?

Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria at least has assured us of a national debate on what it will mean to America to extricate our country from these Mideast wars, the kind of debate we have not had in the 15 years since we were first deceived into invading Iraq.

Trump passed the ball to the warmongers.

Now they have to explain their position, because he made a declaration.

I don’t want to get too excited, as Trump has been letting us down a whole lot lately. But this pullout combined with standing firm on the wall appears to indicate that he is ready to start making some big moves in the right direction.

We all want him to succeed.
