There's no pressing need to withdraw these troops, and it's both the usual distraction tactic and also a dereliction of duty to the kurds that fought alongside them. His ridiculous tweet sits well with how mentally out of it he is, and also how flippant he is about the impact of the decisions he single-handedly makes.

Although the liberals, centrists and centre left certainly contributed to it breaking free of its heavily mortgaged cot.

The US having the same socially liberal elite suppressing the socially conservative views of it's people after having gradually but almost entirely lost touch with them. The only way to get around this was a candidate who refused to play their game.

Edition one of the despots propaganda playbook. '...that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits...' Same, over exuberant hubris. Straight out of our dear leaders dotarded lexicon.

From September via Military Times: " A U.S.-backed mostly Kurdish force in Syria on Tuesday carried out a patrol along with the U.S.-led coalition near a border town with Turkey to select fortifications to be removed as part of an agreement to set up a safe zone along the country’s northwest border, a spokesman for the group said. " [Link] So the USA got the Kurds to destroy their fortifications in the 'safe zone' so a program of joint patrols could begin. Then the following month Trump, against military advice, withdrew support and announces that Turkish forces will be moving into the area and US troops stepping aside. The impact of this on those who stood side by side with American soldiers until now will not be pretty.

The only way to get around this was a candidate who refused to play their game. We’ll have to disagree on this. 2008 onward created the perfect conditions for this to flourish. I’d give that higher weighting than the ‘lefties’. Essentially it shattered the illusion that voting for the ‘usual’ elites made sense. So they voted for another, different type of elite. Was dubya liberal?
