    Trump's poll numbers will definitely go up in the coming days if he brings homes the 2200 troops from Syria as quickly as he claims he wants to do. Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iran all agree with this move and all agree that ISIS has been eliminated -- Turkey can now focus on eliminating the other terrorist group, the Kurds.

    However, when Putin was praising Trump for his leadership (something he never did for Obama) -- he immediately brought up the important point that the US should also pull out of Afghanistan -- and Trump being the brilliant battlefield commander he is, announced his intention of pulling half of the troops out of Afghanistan. From the article:

    “The United States has been in Afghanistan already for 17 years, and almost every year they say they’re withdrawing their troops,” Putin said."

    Finally Trump is the president willing to actually follow thru on bringing these troops home. Unless you are some sort of neo-con, this should be a welcome move; we need to scale down our involvement in all of these never-ending wars that achieve nothing -- This was predicted years ago that you can't defeat ISIS, Al Queda, or any other terrorist group you pull out your ass by massive military adventures -- we been doing this **** for almost 20 yrs and we are still scared shitless over "muslims"

    Trump doing this will be welcomed by most of Americans with broad bi-partisan support -- and it also puts both Republicans and Democrats on the spot about if they are willing to continue the same ole tired neo-con foreign policy or are we going to finally start being smart about sticking our nose in places we don't belong..
