By moving out of Syria, Trump gives Putin another prize.
Everything The trump has done in office has been to help Vladimir Putin every chance he gets. For decades, Syria has been the family jewel for Russia in the Middle East. That is where they have their naval station and access to the Mediterranean. That is why they fought so hard for the survival of Assad.
Now, Trump has declared that he is giving this prize to Putin, by withdrawing all US troops and refusing to get involved in what he called "sand and death". Putin is smiling this morning.
