Here’s a hopeful sign for the non-intervention position. Trump met with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii). Gabbard explicitly rejected neocon-inspired escalation in Syria:
“I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government—a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families.”
Equally telling, she rejected a no-fly scheme, Hillary Clinton’s brainchild:
“Gabbard told Trump she opposes a no-fly or safe zone in Syria, calling it ‘disastrous’ for the Syrian people and the U.S.”
