President Trump announced Saturday that he had authorized the release of $50 million in aid to human rights groups and other aid organizations in Syria in an apparent attempt to counter criticism of his pullout of U.S. forces there.

“Other presidents would not be doing that, they’d be spending a lot more money but on things that wouldn’t make you happy," Trump said while addressing the Values Voters Summit's Faith, Family and Freedom gala dinner.

Assad needs to be gracious and accept the aid.

I wonder how the Russians will take this? ;)

The Russians are behind this. America is rapidly becoming as irrelevant as the dollar is worthless.

No. The Israelis want Syria destroyed. The Necons have been pushing the line that Trump betrayed the Kurds who are Israeli proxies. Israeli foreign policy has been for the break up of Iraq and release of the Kurds since at least 1982.

You said, The Israelis want Syria destroyed.

I think we agree on this point.

The Kurds will be thrown out with the bathwater. ;)
