Former US presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul has backed President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from Syria, adding that the United States needs to “have a clean cut” with military involvement in the Middle East.
In an interview with CNN, Dr. Paul, a libertarian and the father of Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, called Trump’s announcement “fantastic.”
“I don’t see it as a political event as much as he had good defense. He campaigned on it. He said it was a bad war. He wanted to get out,” Paul said. “I think he’s doing great. I think it’s fantastic that he’s doing it.”
Last week, Trump declared victory against Daesh terrorists in Syria and announced to pull out American troops from the country, saying that US troops cannot stay in Syria “forever.”
Does the USA want to be the Policeman of the Middle East, getting NOTHING but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others…
